See finally fixed all her skin problem with vet gave us antibiotics and fluids 3 nights and 7 days hospitalised 🥹(huge bill😭) We made it her heath back! 😀 Skin problem made her nutritious problem a lots. Weight loss, dehydration and kidney problem. She didn’t want to eat. She had very huge discharge scab under her wing last 3 weeks. I was waiting that naturally gone. And it actually gone last night. She all picked it. Not she back to normal and home is nice and warm. We are waiting here all feather back in 3 months time We cook broccoli 🥦 cauliflower mealworms soak in water , zucchini cucumber and berries everyday flesh. She need a lots of fluids and water until feather back

Oof this is why I hospitalise at home myself and learned to do all the medications, so costly. You are doing so well, I am so happy for your birds. Make sure the leg tag stays loose and that her leg doesn't grow into it, my birds would develop thick scaling of their legs and I had to moisturise them regularly! Think it was nutritional or genetic

I think NSW species have smaller noisy miners than qld. My one all between 58 to 63. 80 is very big for NSW people. My cocktail is 83g. Also wild miners around here I look after they also small size. I’d love to have big noisy miners😂I usually put all foods a bit front or perch to make them to eat easily . I’ll change orange to segment tmrw

@@Noisy-miner when I say segment I mean really tiny - the tiny tiny pieces after you peel the internal skin off the inside segments. Give them one piece at a time if you want to really make them squeal happy as it bursts in their mouth, or a pile in their bowl for them to be happy. You just don't want the food 'under' their butts or they'll defecate into it and then you get issues with disease etc. My birds were from SA, compared to Vic and Queensland - same type. I don't think there's a size difference besides age and strength.

@@Kuiriel I see. I usually chopping and put in food processor except orange. I like to see orange before and after. They pick orange all day as activity the. One sliced orange become empty😂or sometimes I put one piece of big lettuce leaves then they smash all day. They play with foods. Most of foods we make fine chopped 😊

Hi is any idea after my bird got skin infection, how I can make less scratches. She scratches over and over 🥲skin get damage

​@@Noisy-minerhave you trimmed her toe nails so they are less sharp? A nail cutter is a bit difficult and can twist their nails and then you end up with bleeding. You can get special trimmers but still they can bleed a, lot from their toe nails. I bought a baby nail file,so it is pretty soft and takes a while. You should have septic powder or something from the vet - I use a little bit of turmeric that I can put on their toes nail but it helps for very small bleeds, if you get a gusher I don't know what you'd do besides holding pressure and going to a vet. I should put up some videos of what I've done. Have you sprayed them for mites? (take food away from cage first, try to cover their eyes when spraying) It can by why they get itchy. Do you know why she's scratching? You mentioned it to do with organ problems? What has the vet said?

I have Alex too. We found Alex 2 years ago when he was chick with cover of ants on the ground at the park. I thought he was eaten by ants and dead already. We picked up Alex then we took all the 🐜 🐜. He was still alive. We start call him “ant” then become “Ali” then we call him “al” or “Alex. He is tamed but We can’t catch him. He has trauma from ants try to eat him. he would not let us touch but he comes on our shoulder😂

YIPPEE!!

Is that Indian myna? We have in Australia too as introduced. Many Australian don’t like them. I don’t jkonw why! I love miner bird also mynah bird. All birds are beautiful and cute😊

@@Noisy-miner They're smart but are a real nuisance as they compete with native birds and mammals for food and nests, taking over native birds nests, and feeding on their eggs and chicks. They are one of only three bird species on the IUCN ‘100 of the World’s Worst Invasive Alien Species’ list (Global Invasive Species Database 2021)

I got him really bad storm day 9pm under his nest I knew 3 chicks in a nest. I was fully wet by heavy rain and wind. Then this bird fell from the nest right front of me right time right place.because I was there. He strongly hit on the bottom of the tree by wind. He screamed very loud. He couldn’t move little while. Then next day I saw he had no problem without walking. He can’t land nicely after fly. Can’t perch with one leg on tree, he can’t scratch. He can’t turn his head 180 degrees His body is always moving even he is sleeping Obviously he has head trauma or spinal neurotically damage like you say. I can’t give him back wild. So he is with us.

@@Noisy-miner A vet visit would confirm if he has a break in his shoulder or hip. You don't need an expensive scan for them to do a general health check up and provide advice on management especially since it's been a while. But it could be useful for understanding what sort of stretches etc he could do. Many vets will still treat with kindness and not snatch him away from you. Just make it clear you are there as a patient.

Cheeko is the typical noisy miner in my colony. She is THE BOSS 😁 Vet just told us she was "her" she is female😏

Yes pls we really need someone who knows about noisy miner experience. Me and my partner working to put all meds together in his mouth open then syringe down. He hates which is really hard to do it. Bit lucky Chibbi is very easy to handle we call him “silly miner” because he never fly or upset. Are you getting meds from the vet?

@@Noisy-miner Yes, a good avian vet will be no issues. Walk in in person to see what they're like. If you don't feel safe with one vet, just talk to another. Any avian vet will have seen quite a few of these and I'm sure a few pets among them. The older the vet, the more likely they've seen someone with a noisy miner companion. Anyone experienced with honeyeaters full stop will be good. Putting medication on the beak is hard only the first few times because we are afraid of getting it into their airways. But if you know where the airway is it gets much easier. I gently open the beak and hold it, then with the other hand I point the syringe in (usually only 50 unit syringes, I find the 1ml syringes a bit too large but still doable. The vet will explain you can actually pop the syringe in fairly deep if needed but to the level just past the eye is fine in my experience and keeps it away from breathing hole. They do hate it, so I give them love and treats after and try and wash the medicine taste down quickly with food before they can cough it up on their tongue. It was only a challenge to begin with, it's easy now. I don't know what your licensing options are. Sometimes there are exceptional circumstances and they'll allow things, at least in other states. Not sure about NSW. There's a biodiversity conservation license but I think that might not count. Noisy Miners (0634) can be kept under license B2 and B3. That's all about being bred in captivity though. I would keep looking into it. They revise the rules every year or so it seems and the rules re these birds seem to be getting better. In SA you don't even need a license any more it seems. Not sure how to send you a private PM with suggestions for vets who can do a remote consult.

@@Kuiriel i can tell my fb name then can go messenger

I’ll tell on your shot movie

Go ahead ​@@Noisy-miner

All my bird have all different food favourites 😂 cheeko loves kiwi only inside white part. All of them love mint and orange. Cheeko loves any green foods. Chibbi is the worst since he was chick always he doesn’t wanna eat anything. So we have to help him to eat/ he is kinda disable mental problem bird. Chibbi act like chick forever. He never try to fly. He use Wombaroo products they are the best nutrition for miner children. I don’t know mango is good. We enjoy with them everyday different foods what they like or they left 😂 very hard work but we love it

@@Noisy-miner Mint! I haven't tried mint. I haven't tried the white part of kiwi either. Nice ideas!

Chibi is a kind of a bit. mental disability. He never grow since he is 3 month old. Igor may think chibi is chick 😄I know that “happy sound” like “pulapulapulapula” sound

Also when she puts her head away like that, to me it's a sign that she's saying she can rest safely now with you, she doesn't need to have adrenalin pumping, and she just wants to feel safe and comforted. I really miss my birds making that sound. Mowgli rarely talks now that she is blind. What do you give your birds for treats? I used to go outside and catch grass hoppers for them with my bare hands before I could afford buying them crickets.

I confer you the title "Protecctor of Smols" 😊

I don’t look for cheaper and vet is only dog and cat. My Chibbi was almost deadly. SASH rude is the best for hospital they do xray blood work at same place. I don’t think about money when it’s emergency

@@Noisy-miner Sorry, when I said 'cheaper' I meant emergency vets are expensive full stop. I didn't realize SASH meant for small animals - they might be bird specialists, I don't know. What I was meaning was that you should hopefully find that avian vets (bird specialists) will just be great for their specialized knowledge regarding birds, that the blood tests and scans should still be cheaper, and they will help you get in front of these big events so hopefully you don't have to end up going to the emergency vet at all. Unfortunately I don't know which bird vets are in NSW.

@@Kuiriel little bit emergency. SASH even told us put him down but I said no😭😭😭 if they have small problem I’ll go small avian vet. This time was very urgent I didn’t want to lose him little chibbi boy. He is a survivor!!! He has now 5 medication and happy boy!

He made with SASH exotic animal emergency team!!

This is actually chibi. One month you get than cheeko.

Wish my one had a happy end I walked away to the end of my house to do some chores came back half an hour later to him cold and stiff head first in his water bowl he had lots of seizures but they slowed down recently to only 1-2 every now and then just awful timing

My one is Australian noisy miner. Brown one is called Indian mynah. Indian mynah is introduced from overseas. They are both smart birds. I know a lots of people dislike brown one(I dunno the reason!) they are still just small birds. Indian one is a bit bigger and chubby and can talk.

Thank you!!!

Australian native noisy miner. Honey eater. They love flower, small incect🐦 not supposed to be the pets. All rescued

My one have comfortable life no enemies always have foods. Noisy miner are noisy in the wild because they need to protect their family. They always warning with noise all day.

They will attack because humans have dogs. Dogs and cats attack miner birds chick and kill. Noisy miners chase big birds away from territory Because big bird attack noisy miners chicks and eat. Noisy miners are very physically small and weak. They can only try to attack. They can’t even kill any animals. Human attack and kill. Fry on a pan. Make mince. Make smoked and dry age. And eventually eat after a lots of processed

I had a, bird who had issues with flying because her tail feathers were always breaking. The vet ended up pulling all of her tail feathers out so that they would all grow stronger together. For a few months she was always falling over backwards when she flew but later she became the best flyer...
