I found a nestling on the ground yesterday after very windy weather. I contacted two rescue organisations and the local vet in the process of working out what to do. This is exactly what I was advised to do and very concisely explained. I have put the bird back in a nearby nest. Just hoping it was the right one. I am happy 😊 to think that my having handled the bird would not caused problems with the parents.
No choice but to keep nearly full feathered baby pushed 2 times from nest. Perhaps the runt since he was weak, but after third feeding much stronger with healthy poop. I play Swallow bird songs before feeding mealworms and soaked high protein cat food after squishing water off. Thanks for tips on raising. Hope he survives since all wildlife is in danger these days.
I'm thinking I found a runt also on my porch yesterday, he's fully feathered but very tiny. It can't fly at all and tries walking around but it's very clumsy lol. I brought it inside and have been caring for it, and it seems to be doing OK so far. I'm praying he will survive so I can release him once he can fly. I named it Jack.
Once saw a bird on the ground and I thought he was sick bc ha seems to be unable to fly then after a moment 2 birds flew by and watch him. So that is his parents. It's funny because he looked like a normal full grown bird lmao. I can't even tell the diff but seeing his parents made me realize that he's just out here learning to fly lmao
I got a baby bird today and it's a nestling But i took it to my house feed it water and some Milk, i know now milk not very good but idk what to do and i can't locate a nest where the bird from and i can't leave him with new nest in the tree Bec.. RED Ants are eating him, he got blood in his lower beak HELP
Not sure about this advice. There are plenty of people who have successfully rehabilitated their own nestlings and fledglings. I guess you have to be willing to commit to taking care of them. They say don’t handle too much or get too close because you can imprint the bird and will be difficult to release back into the wild.
My feeder has Niger and they are still in my feeder along with the chipmunks will try some of the things you suggested and hopefully something will help.
Thank you! I have been getting more and more captivated with corvids and the most common one I see is blue jays! Very beautiful to watch, and fun personalities 😂. I just recently started to cater to their preferences and it’s been so good to experience 🤓
I don’t know if you will react my comment, but there is a really really bad storm in Illinois and the mom left him and the nest nowhere to be found. I don’t know what to do with him.
a fledling got hit by a car infront of me and now i have it in a box with water and some chiken food and a black berry but it lost most of its featers when it got hit hes doing better but idk where to set it free cuz i have a cat and i cant keep it in the house much longer please help me
I just took home a fletchling, i could not find the parents anywhere and i waited for a while i couldnt see anybirds or hear any apart from pigeons. Got anytips on looking after it? It still have some of the white fluffy baby feathers on it
I made a nestling a nest in the shade then waited all day for it’s mother last time and it died of dehydration/starvation. I cried all night wishing I tried to feed it early 😢 I just found another one with no nest in sight in the middle of the side walk… screw this I’m taking care of it this time.
I'm sorry but this was utterly useless to me. You did not explain anything about caring for a fledgling. Here is a video on how to fix a car: take it to the mechanic....
I found a fledgling just now outside my door. He freaked out when i first tried to grab him and he hid underneath a piece of outside furniture. after some inspecting, its clear his foot/leg is broken or lame. one foot is perfect, while the other one is curled up and immobile. His parents are nearby, watching. I put him in a box with some water and a crushed beetle. I will try my absolute best to leave him alone now bc when i leave my apartment, the parents fly away. unfortunately, they built their nest above concrete, so i bet its common for the fledglings to break a foot crash landing.
Great video we have a nest of four baby robins that I have been in our backyard watching for sometime. Try to ensure it up in case one felll out. Today one of the four is just sitting on the branch and I know it was just a matter of time and now it’s in the backyard which is why I needed to watch your video to make sure I was doing the right thing. Thanks again.
It is a very interesting topic. I've been watching short videos of cuckoo birds tossing the host eggs and baby birds out of the nest. Hard not to take sides!
