This is the release of the first baby swift that I have taken care of this year. I have another five currently. I do this in conjunction with a veterinary clinic and rescue centre. If you find a swift, please seek professional help. Baby swifts are insectivorous and need a very specific diet. They can be raised on mealworms and cricket abdomens, but must under no circumstances be fed dog food, cat food or any other pet food. This will either kill them or cause them to develop in such a way that they can never be freed and would have to be put to sleep. I would love to make more videos on swifts. They are very interesting and unfortunately their numbers are declining, mostly due to loss of habitat ( old buildings provide the perfect spaces for their nests). These amazing creatures spend the vast majority of their lives on the wing. Indeed, the males, once they leave the nest as young birds, may never touch the ground again until their death. There are still a lot of questions about this unique bird that remain a mystery. I hope to get around to more videos about them but no promises, as I have been trying to get around to making a whole host of videos I really want to make for the last two years. So we’ll see.

Swifts also spread histoplasmosis, a potentially fatal fungal disease, as well as a host of other diseases and parasites. They block chimneys with flammable trash in order to burn down buildings like Antifa terrorists.

@@benbrown3541 it's illegal to go outside without it. She no doubt believes on the city bylaws which take money from her as penalty for not submitting to the abuse that is forced vailing of our faces. It's illegal here, to have unveiled faces in; public transit, buisness places and any shopping facility as of lady month. This is because government is evil.

Nice to see you again Dove! I have a family of 4 Swallow chicks nesting in my workshop. I really like having them there, they are safe and being regularity fed by the parents. These birds come back every year to reuse the nests.

@@dove4070 I thought it was four but it's six. They have fledged, but they come back everynight to sleep in their nest. I'm going to miss this bunch and their aerial acrobatics when they eventually go south for the winter. No doubt they will be back again next year for another family of swallows.

No, but there are palms (“palms”) in Ireland. Cordyline australis, although many died during the harsh winters of 2009, 2010.

I've been hand rearing a domestic pigeon which had fallen out of its nest (before it was fledgling age) for the last two weeks. It has been getting proper food but it has very poor balance and often just lays on its back. It is fully feathered and almost fully grown and it also won't eat on its own which concerns me. Do you have any advice or thoughts on what could be wrong and how I can help it further. Thanks very much for any help!
@dove4070
@dove4070 4 года назад
Can you describe his poo? Does he splay his legs? Any other symptoms? Has he seen a vet at any point before? Thank you for caring for him!
@davidoceilleachair9123
@davidoceilleachair9123 4 года назад
@@dove4070 his poo is perfectly normal and his legs aren't splayed at all. He doesn't have any other symptoms apart from his refusal to eat himself and his bad balance. I haven't taken him to a vet as I have taken other birds to vets in my area in the past and they really just don't have a clue about how to deal with them. Maybe it may be an injury from when he fell, hopefully hell grow out of it! 👃
@dove4070
@dove4070 4 года назад
I'm glad he doesn't have any other symptoms, but the bad balance is something that should really be gotten to the bottom of. It's such a pity when you don't have a good avian vet in the area! Have you heard of Palomacy? They are an organisation that helps pigeons and doves, and the great thing is they have a Facebook group where you can ask questions. There are a lot of people with a lot of experience in injured/ill pigeons. I suggest requesting to join the group and sharing the situation. Surely someone there will have been through something similar before. I wonder if it could be a vitamin deficiency.
@davidoceilleachair9123
@davidoceilleachair9123 4 года назад
@@dove4070 thanks for your help, I've just read that a thiamine deficiency can lead to weak legs, so im going to implement brewers yeast into his diet so hopefully it may help. Thanks again for your help and God bless
@dove4070
@dove4070 4 года назад
Wonderful. I hope he gets better. Your pigeon is very lucky to have a friend like you. I really suggest checking out the Palomacy website and Facebook group anyway, as they have a lot of tips and advice. Best of luck to you both!
