Who else is here because they found a lost baby bird
Me:(
Edit : Hua ... he has died :'( I can't treat him better.

I saved a horned owl fledgling a few years back and now it spends at least a week a year in my backyards tree
Doesn't interact with me but still feel special
Samuel Le Calvez awwwww
Samuel Le Calvez aww
It's a hoot.
It wants to pay it forward
❤️
an injured baby bird fell from the sky and into my cousins’ hands and now we’re taking care of it, i hope it doesn’t die
How did it do :(
Update please
updatee?
Update now
Did it die?
let nature take its course...well Ima change that course rq lmao brought this lil dude inside
righ
@@riddhisingh5466 Ah man, I raised him from raw chicken stage to huge and fluffy lol Phoenix now permanently resides all the way in Maryland at a bird sanctuary. He was the best pigeon dude ever and I’ll always be forever grateful I rescued him.
May I know what you fed him? I rescued one today from fire ants , don’t know what to feed it :(
@@hanqingchai7305 Before I could get ahold of baby bird formula that I managed to find at Petsmart I used dog food kibble for the first day or so. I soaked it and would mash it in with some boiled egg yolk. Made it into a paste and looked up videos on how to successfully hand feed the specie because all birds eat differently. Pigeons for one actually suck their food up and dont open wide like typical baby birds would.
@@danieljordan2442 thank you so much! Few hours ago it didn’t want to eat but now it’s eating from my hand & quite active. It’s the first day but I hope it’ll be healthy until it’s good to release
Found a dehydrated fledgling crow in the middle of the street. Helped it out of the street unto some nearby grass. It was a highly trafficked area with cars and pedestrians. When it was clear that the bird was in distress, i scooped it up and brought it to a rehab. Luckily, there were 2 other baby crows there and an adult. A few weeks later, the rehab told me that the birds bonded and were released together.
W00t!
Erm, i mean Caw Caw!
We have a baby robin he’s a nestling. Idk wut to do. His mom is feeding him but it’s gonna be 59 degrees tonight. We have had incidents with cats and birds, and the nest is 50’ up. Idk wut to do. If u have any ideas plz give them. Thx!
Nah they was cappin, those birds died
I had a baby mockingbird find me once. It kept hopping around on my shoulders, arms etc. I had no idea what to do but I enjoyed the company. ;)
If it's better to let nature take its course then I'll do everything in my power to save that bird. Sorry, but I couldn't live in good conscience knowing that I just left a bird to die if I had any way of helping him.
Exactly. Specially when you have stray cats like I have in my area
Agreed! I just found one like an hour ago, and I'm not going to let it bake in the 100 degree heat and die. Maybe God put me in that exact moment for a reason.....or the universe.....or whatever you believe in.
@@TangoCharlieAlpha exactly I found it and it’s 90 degrees
She just said right before that that they will do everything they can to help an animal. When she says sometimes it's better to let nature take it's course, she means that there's no way of helping the animal. Please consider the extreme stress the bird will experience when a human picks them up and they're hurt so they can't get away. Trying to save an animal that can't be saved will just make them suffer more. That's why you should call someone who knows enough about birds to be able to tell when it's not worth trying.
Exactly thats why I'm here trying to learn how to take care of this nestling. Someone put it in my planter no neat in sight, if i leave it it will die.. and this video gave me no information on what to do? Its cold outsidr
What to do when you find a baby bird:
Go to a vet
Give the bird to them
RUN
Or the orphanage like what my parents did to me
Ummm... run?
The Walking Bread so you don’t get charged money
I could do but qurantine
What if it's lockdown
There was a fledgling out front a couple days ago and I scooted him out of the road and into bushes. I wondered if I had done the right thing and thought maybe I should have brought him in or something, but this video assured me that I probably did the right thing!
Lol I gotta get to you let’s find birds together xd
racoons favorite meal
@@Baldoxxx4000 hey they gotta eat too
MY favourite meal, i like the cronch
@@calliecox1814 lol
Great advice Taylor :)
The myth that the parents will smell you is certianly wide spread here in Australia!
The only piece of advice I add when talking about baby birds is to figure out if the birds a ground dwelling species of not, i attendeed a rescue last year where someone had found some baby plovers in the grass (which is natural) and meaning well put the poor guys in a man made nest way up in a tree😂
Wicked Wildlife Oh no! Poor plovers 😣 Good addition, thanks!
AnimalWonders Montana any time 😊 love your work and look forward to next weeks video!
You have to admit you have a weird bunch of birds in Australia (and I'm not even going to mention NZ)
why chooose a user name ? Maybe the rest of the worlds birds are weird and ours are comparatively normal 🤔
*Wicked Wildlife* That's the spirit!!! 8-)
On the way home from school today I found a little baby bird that had fallen out of a tree and it was laying upside down in a deep puddle so I picked it up and took it home and kept it in a box full of bedding but me and my Nan found that it had many injuries so we took it to the vets in Crowthorne and they took it away and said that I had been a very kind hearted person for saving it but sadly after we got back from the vets they gave my Nan a call saying they had to get it put down because it was suffering and I am 12 years old and my parents and my Nan are very proud of me.
I don't even know you and I'm proud of you too.
Way to go Spot Cooper, you did the right thing.
Dam i guess this “fledgling” sitting in front of me in this makeshift home I made it gon die then..
It was attacked by the neighborhood cat so I saved it’s life technically. Thas my excuse for taking it
Feed it blended up cat food mixed with warm water, every two hours and keep them WARM.
@@lizardholliday8519 OMG THANKS
No problem my dude
Don’t forget to get baby bird vitamins if you still have them
They’re good for adult birds too
I volunteered at a wildlife rehab center in Minnesota and specifically worked in the avian nursery. It was such an amazing experience, and I hope I can do something similar in the future. One great memory from y time there was getting to take a bird out and release it. Rehab centers do a lot of good for a lot of animals, and it's so rewarding to see it pay off.
Kate what was it called? I’d like to volunteer
WRCMN, on Wildlife Rehab Center of Minnesota. It's located in Roseville. :)
WRCMN is great! Thanks for volunteering there, too! The avian nursery is finally in full gear this year, after several weeks delay due to the weird winter. It's loud up in the nursery hallway, now! When it was just squirrels and bunnies it was nice and quiet XD
I have a nestling I saved yesterday. The nest is so too far up just as a the branches are. I'm disabled and can't even begin to get this bird up. I asked neighbors and they all had an excuse or looked at me like I was insane. Well, maybe I am insane but at least I'm not a ? Hole little bit@h.
I called the wildlife rehabilitation she is talking about. It's about 2 hours from my house. I would drive this little bird myself but I don't have a car and it's too far for me to drive on my medications anyway. They wouldn't even consider asking if any of their people who are close and going that way to come get the bird to take there. I was also told it was illegal for me to have wildlife. So, I said oh well I will just put it back where I found it. She said no it will die for sure if I do that. So, yesterday I watched for parents and safety until it was getting late. I brought it in and made a cat food wet food paste in a med dropper and it ate it. Now it is the next evening and I'm exhausted after all the feedings and phone calls for help. But, it's alive, pooping, active and its eyes just opened. No fluff. Red skin, wobbly and has a good appetite. I'm getting a iui worms right now for it. I don't want to do this. Yet the alternative is certain death or should I say it is nature taking her course. We can't save them all but we can care enough to do our best when possible. I have the time to care but not all the knowledge. Just what I find online.
I'm in new ulm mn. And somewhat new to the area so I don't know hardly anyone. So I ask ... If any kind hearted soul out there is able to take her to the wildlife refuge it would mean the world to me and this little bird.
I literally have a nestling in my hand right now that I'll be taking there tomorrow morning. My husband just went to get hand warmers.
"Let nature take its course." :( Sad but true.
I thought you were supposed to chew up a worm and spit it into its beak like a momma bird would do
Christ, just use your hands or something. We're humans, we have tools lol
veterinarians exists for a reason
Or maybe every body in this section could just listen to the expert lady in the video who said exactly what Domdrok just said.. idk just guess
Oof
Today I found 3 baby nestlings that fell off of their nest. one of them died because ants were eating it. we saved the other 2😢😭
Another one just died...😢😭😭😢😢😭😭
Is the other one alright?
All is dead now`😭😭😭
Aw man... what did you do with the bodies?
Cupcake Cat we buried them
She didn't mention that fledglings are likely to be eaten by feral cats and other predators when you leave them on the ground ( when they can't actually fly yet.) Maybe my mistake, but i have a hard time abandoning an animal if I know its helpless. The "nature take its course' angle doesn't work for me, and I certainly would never feel that way about a human life. Animals are Gods creatures as well and deserve all the help they can get.
There’s at least two cats that live in my yard
Once I rescue a juvenile seagull that somehow got stuck in a recessed garden about one story down and couldn't fly out. So I took it to pass wildlife rescue. It had all its feathers and I tried to get it to fly but it would not. I'm happy to say they told me that they helped him and got him back out into the wild
I remember, when I kept a sparrow fledgling in my home for only a day. It was so cuuuttteee! After that day, I found the nest that it fell from. I know that it is its nest because I found the baby bird just under that spot. Put it back in, hid in the bushes and watched how the parents fed the babies.
Thanks for this, followed your instructions and put the bird in an egg box in a tree near where the original nest was (that bush was cut down) the parents found it and started feeding again, what a relief!
Thanks for your information! My mum has once “rescued” a baby bird home from a park (a fledging one I guess), but we soon realized that the baby bird was not injured as we thought it was, it might probably be hiding from predators only (that’s why it looked lost and does not move at all). Also we had no idea about the follow up actions to help it neither. I think it’s really important to have these kinds of educational materials for urban people to understand how to interact with our nature properly, especially when the urban area is expanding and intercrossing more with the wildlife. Thanks again for your video!
Taylor has really great pacing and delivery in her voice in these videos! A great presenter!
Thanks for this, very educational! Sometimes the best thing we can do is go against our desire to help, it seems!
Thanks! You guys helped a lot. It's spring now here in Brazil, and a couple of fledglings we're out in the open. A third one didn't make it, because of my dogs, but the other two are now safe back in their tree.
I found a Fledgling bird in my backyard. There was another Fledgling but it was already too late. I don’t know if I should help the other or not. Even my family said to just let nature take its course.
fledglings are not abandon or in any danger unless he has a broken wing..fledgling are a stage were he's leaving the nest and the parent will feed him when ever they find food for him..you'll know a fledgling because they will be able to fly a few feet and hops around ... he;s semi full feathers, but just short... these fledgling are not birds you want to take in and raise it, because the parent is still feeding him..if you hand reared a baby bird from the wild, you better keep him til he dies or else just leave him to nature,because hand reared baby birds don;t have the knowledge to survive and gather food or knows how to protect itself from danger.. even though he's full grown and eating on his own that doesn't mean him knows how to survive in the wild..he'll just die from starvation unless you put him outside with a cage and put seed for him to eat and transition slowly to the wild, but most will not make it unless you supply it with seed or food.
Thank you for making this video! Every year I get people asking about what to do with a bird they found. I usually give them a video made by Texas parks and wildlife. We need to spread the word!
I found a baby bird that looked about a week old. I week later after we found him he was doing so well! He was opening his eyes and moving and chirping! We were so happy to see him fly! On day 7 we noticed a red bump in his neck like the one on the picture before you click on the video. Idk what it’s called but anyway. Today is day 8 and this morning he wasn’t moving and bagging for food as usual so I picked him up and he wasn’t moving at all. I saw his chest go up and down once in a while but I thought he was dead. On his lower stomach felt flat and like a deflated balloon but still had stuff in it. I cried for about ( minutes and went to tell my mom. She came out and rubbed his chest and about 5 minutes later he slowly opened his eyes. I thought he would survive! I had so much hope and was praying he would be ok. About 1” minutes later his eyes were closed again and he wasn’t breathing. I cried for so long but he was gone. We buried him. My point of this comment is was there was a piece of worm stuck to the lump on his neck and it looked a little bloody. His poop also had a tiny bit of blood once is a while. I’m not sure if the lump on his neck is natural or not? We are not sure is he was kicked out of his nest or fell out but if he was kicked out maybe his mom thought he wouldn’t make it or something was wrong with him. The mom is still going up to the nest at the top of our tree and feeding her other baby’s. Does anyone know the answer to this if you do please reply I would love to know! Thank you!
Deeply appreciate your advise .. clear and to the point. I saw a small fledgling bird (now I know what this is :)) on the sidewalk and I was worried that cats would get it. So I took it back home in a warm and quite place and went out again to complete my dog walk which took another 15 min .. went back and immediately searched for advise and saw your video .. so I took it back to where I found it .. it was clinching on my finger so I had to find a small dead twig for it to hold on to, and placed it on top of high enough street box .. as I walked away a few meters I turned back and law and behold, one of the parents went down to check on it and was chirping at it :)
Thank you once more .. glad you made this video and glad I found it!
Thank you so much this quick and informative video! Found a baby bird on my walk this afternoon and learned it was a fledgling from you and because of this video I left it alone... on my way back mommy was back and 2 other fledglings with her! So cool! It went against my instinct not 5o interfere... this video kept me from making a mistake!
Well I messed up, I took a fledgling home :( now idk how to feed it.
Dora Nunez same :’)
It can feed YOU.
I need help idk how to feed mine either 😬
@@rheeannon7886 Firecrackers!
Sameee 🥺
Hi I love your guys channel so much I especially like your guys video rabbits rabbits and more rabbits video because it help me with my rabbit and I also like one of your guys his bird videos because I also have a bird named Max and he’s a cockatiel so yeah .hopefully you read my comment you guys are the best channel ever
I found a magpie lark fledgling 2 days ago, ushered it into a safe spot, away from the road, then left immediately. I had no idea if I did the right thing or not, it was playing on my mind since. I'm so glad, after seeing this video, I actually did exactly the right thing.
(Edit: the video happened to pop up in my recommended, I didn't even search it, though it was playing on my mind).
A fledgling I found was about to be eaten by some random cat.
Ended up putting it in my neighbour's bushes some 100 meters away, after scaring away the cat. I hope the little guy made it
Taylor is doing great things at Animal Wonders! I love seeing more of the team (but I still love Jessie, too!!)

I once found a blackbird fledgling (back when I didn't know what a fledgling was, I just knew it wasn't an adult yet) on my way home from school, which was 2 towns over. I carefully scooped it up and put it in my bicycle basket and took it home to call a rehabilitation center for help. I knew it was very dangerous for it to stay there since I found it open and exposed on the sidewalk with only very thin bushes near. When I called the center, I was told to put it back near some foliage and I did. Sadly, a few days later, I found a dead bird that had been ran over by a car. I really hope that wasn't the bird I found.
XxGigifabulousxX you were biking between towns?
Danae Kelly yes.
XxGigifabulousxX I don't know about other places, but in Australia it can take 40 minutes to drive to the closest town. According to the gps on the iPhone, it would take 6 hours to walk from my school to my house, both of which are on the side of town closest to each other.
XxGigifabulousxX and that's only one town apart.
Thank you this really helped! Me and my family found a baby bird in the middle of a main road. We had saved it and put it in a bush near to the road, as we were walking away another bird flew to him/her and we left. 😅 it was so cute!
Thank you very much! This morning I brought back a fledgling bird, but I have no idea how to take care of it. Luckily I watched your video and decided to return it back place, not about an hour the parents came.
Some years ago I found a fox that seemed to have had a concussion on the side of a public street. I gathered it up in a crate and took it home after making sure it wouldn't bite. Once home I put it in a drawer with a blanket. It started to sleep so I was able to check it. The only thing I found was a small amount of dried blood on an ear and a belly full of fleas. That proceeding night I carefully collected it up and transferred it to the bathtub. It seemed to be regaining consciousness. Then it scrambled out of the tub and as I backed off it lept onto my leg...I thought, this was it. I'm about to get rabies. However it slumped onto my shin and slid down, obviously still hurt. At that point I swaddled it in a blanket then walked half a mile into the woods nearby and set it loose. The poor thing stood on shakey legs then crawled into some blackberries. It was a one off moment. I don't recommend it. I just didn't have anyone to contact at the time and felt it was the best thing to do.
That was nice of you
Thank you for this video!! I found some nestlings on my porch! They were very weak. The bird is now attached to me..🤷🏼♀️
was able to save a nestling today because of this video! thank you so much from mexico!
GOOD TO KNOW. THANKS FOR SHARING THE INFO. We must all do our part in saving these tiny creatures. Their lives matter.
Most people cant reach the nest cause mosy likely really high in the tree. How about explaining what to feed and take care of the bird so it can get stronger and fly off and live a good life instead of leaving them outside for a cat to attack it
My cat brought me a bird that is like 2 days old and it is injured and punctured but we can’t take it to the vet because of coronavirus. We searched up how to feed it because it’s our only option, but we are trying our best to do what we can:(
Luv you Taylor and tysm for helping me with this kind of stuff 💓
Found a baby fledgling today that crashed into the window. I wish I would have found this video before hand, as I have done it completely wrong!! I caught it and put it into a box with no light and has holes. I put seeded bread and a small bowl of water. After about 45 minutes after it had calmed down, we put it into the tall grass in a field. There were other small birds it's kind, but I was a little confused on what to do. Thanks for this video. It will be handy for future reference! 🐤
Very helpful
Lol thought that was jugs of weed in the back😂
Omg so much good info thanks a lot it’s really helpful thanks
My friend stole the whole nest now he wants me to help take care of them
What would you do if it is a fledgling you have found and you found it because there is a cat stalking it....But the cat isn't yours and you don't know who it belongs to?
Let something something fall on the cat. Scoop the cat up gently. Place it on a nearby street. Leave the area as not to aleart the owners. It's a myth that the owners can smell your scent on the cat.
Cheep Cheep cats kill billions of birds every year and some birds have gone extinct so no shoo the cat away
Call your local animal control authorities.
Mohamed Akmal no one can listen to you with that profile picture
Same same same.. a neighbour's cat attacjed a nest in my back yard (or my garden as we call it in the UK). So how can i leave them on the ground while the cat is always around. I cant do anything with the cat and i can not prevent her from being in my back yard.
Well I'm sitting in my room.and I hear chirping and whistling from inside of my wall. Been like that for a couple of weeks. The other side on my wall of my room outside so dont worry.
Great info, thanks. Helped a lot.
Super helpful thank you!
I recently had a learning experience with wood duck ducklings in particular. I work across the street from a park and one day someone from the park came in, handed me a duckling, and said that it was all alone. I knew what to do in the case of fledglings and nestlings, but I thought maybe ducks are different, so I decided to make some calls.
The first wildlife rehaber I called gave me....not great advice. She said to find the nearest pond and drop the baby off with any mom with ducklings I see. If I had no luck, I was to find someone who raises chickens to adopt it. The next person I talked to (an ornithologist) told me something different. (In the rehaber's defense, when I talked to her I didn't yet know what KIND of duck it was. Though she probably should've asked). By the time I called the ornithologist I had identified the duckling as a wood duck.
The ornithologist told me that the duckling never should've been taken out of the park in the first place. Wood hens will call/look for their babies for up to a couple of hours. Additionally, wood ducks don't do well in captivity. Most ducklings die within 24 hours because they won't eat. She said all I could do was put it back and hope for the best. She said its chances were slim, but they were slim from the time it hatched, as only 2 of 8 ducklings make it to adulthood. So that's what I did, I picked a spot in the park away from people and left. I don't know how it went. But he was a little go-getter, so I like to think that maybe he found his mama.
[DISCLAIMER: I'm not an expert. I'm just repeating what I was told.]
Wood ducks are frequently kept in captivity, should have listened to the first person. Duckling crumbles or chick starter and a heat lamp from a local feed store should have worked fine... Or doing what the first person said.
I have a lot of cats outside our house so there isn’t any safe spot:/
Thanks, it's a great help..!
I was playing catch with a football, and it bounced from my hands and into the grass. As went to grab the football, I saw a baby bird on the ground sitting right next to it. I’m not too sure what to do because it looks like it’s between the two baby bird stages. I placed it in a bush and I’m now hoping for the best. Guess it was some luck that I found the bird in that way.
Bird: Are you my mother?
Me: I am your last destination! (eats baby bird whole)
@@TovKafur 😁😁😁
Momin Shah like chicken
Well I just found a fledgling and he jumped out of the nest and my dog was out there and got some of his feathers!:( What should I do)!?
Way late but what ended up happening?
Ah well...just minutes ago my cat brought a baby bird that hasn't even open it's eyes or mouth yet and it's wounded a little. And it's nighttime sooo don't really know where it's nest is. And ya know since it's quarantine I don't know if they are open or if there even is a vet nearby.
I found two fledglings, one was under my dad's car and the other was on the ground. I thought they were harmed for a fall and put them in a box afraid other predators will find them and eat them but it's reliving that they are just learning how to fly. Now I'll just leave them were I last saw them, hopefully their mom can see them.
I found a fledging in our garden. He's been chirping constantly and the parents are nowhere in sight. It got dark and the chirping continued so I just got him in because there are many cats around our locality. Pretty sure they would've eaten him. Will release him tomorrow morning.
I found a fledgling and the nest is too high and there’s no other sticks
Beautiful!!
OMG this video is SO SO SO good.
At first day one bird fell from the air condition I left it and went to school I fed it and leave unfortanetly it died because there was lot of hot.
Second day I found two so I fed them and come to see this video
I hate it when there’s a lot of hot.
Ah what do I do if my cat has a fledgling
Also it jumped up in the car
Help
Take the bird to wildlife rehab if you don't know where s/he came from.
Keep in mind for the future that cats terrorize local wildlife populations.
Very useful to know. Thank you.
Good info. Thanks.
"Sometimes is best to let nature take it's course" WAIT? you mean let the baby die??
Yes
I saw a fledgling literally go yeet outa the nest and try flying but hit the floor so left it alone
That was good I hope you didn't touch it
I found a baby bluejay last month, he was a fledgling. I watched for a while and saw he could only fly a few feet. He was in a bush that was way too close to the ground and many predators.. he was having a hard time caugh in the branches.. the adults didn't yet know that he tried to fly from the nest and failed. I gently caught him, and kept him safe till my husband finished mowing the lawn. Presently, I saw that he had not two but had FOUR adult birds caring for him, and they were watching me carefully from above. Adults will always feed, protect and nurture fledglings that are on the ground but not quite able to fly. Most bluejays will help raise the offspring of other bluejays nearby (they are probably siblings - their families stick together!) They seemed to know I was not going to hurt the baby, but they watched me closely - no swooping or defensive posturing. I placed him on a branch high up and waited till i knew they saw where he was. The one Jay came very close to look at me, then the baby, then at me several times as if to say "Okay, I see him, I'll take over now!".
Of course, the juveniles attempts at flying had him back on the ground right away. I followed at a distance as the adults kind of corralled him to a safe spot for the night. The next day and for days later, I recognized his little bluejay "jeer" song, so I knew he was safe with the four adults looking after him. Fast forward 3 1/2 weeks and he (or she?) is now a handsome visitor to my feeding posts. I can tell when he us nearby because his new skill - the "pumphandle" call (or the "squeaky gate" call) still needs practice before he can make the sound strong like the others! You can tell he is still juvenile because he sneeks up and right quick he greedily steals the large peanuts - while the older males are patiently choosing choice bits to store in their crops for their mates! I love the bluejays. While I had him temporarily in a shoebox, the parents made such mournful cries from the closest trees when they could not see or hear him, it just broke my heart! It was then I knew I absolutely had to put him back up somewhere safe by the adults. I though I was going to have to keep him safe, warm and fed fir at least a few days but when I saw how concerned and frantic the parents were, there was no question of keeping him longer than the time it took to mow the lawn. Thankfully, he is still with us today. When I was 17 (a very long time ago) we found a nesling robin with enough feathers that we knew he would survive. Although he was free to leave as soon as he coukd fly, he became a beloved member of the family. Every day he ventured a little farther from home, till the one day he that he never came back. We still saw him once in a while, but he kept his distance. What a sweet, smart little bird he was. My mother was his favorite person and I think it was because my mother was such a sweet and lovibg person herself. I will always love robins because of this.
Anyway, my best advice - which is in agreement with this video - is to make sure the baby is uninjured, healthy and safe and that adults are indeed looking for it, and put it safely near where you found him. If it is a nestling (no flight feathers yet) then get it to an avian rehab center unless you know exactly how to feed and care for its kind. The robin we found recieved proper care because we had a neighbor who knew all about robins - what to and what not to feed them, how to keep them clean (they poop of course!) And how to safely handle them. He was a bird expert, otherwise we might have brought the nestling to the proper place. We did not have internet back then, but today, you must make sure you get your info from reliable websites. Let an expert take over! Its the best thing to do!
thanks, very helpful
Whos watching becuse they found a baby bird I know I am :3
I got a baby myna, wrapped it in some warm cloth n put in a box for the night.. rescued if from a cat :/
DreamGrowls saaaame! Tiny nestling my darn cat brought in. Currently got him feeding and bundled up in my drawer with a heat pad under it. Hope the little guy will be okay 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@candijack4 Going through exact same situation right now ( baby starling I think) thanks to our cat so I dont know where the nest is..I've come here for some tips. Did your one make it?
I would love for there to be one on kittens so people learn the difference between kittens that are in distress or kittens that people found that are being cared for by a great mom who has gone hunting for food and will be back for them. People think they should pick up every baby they find but it’s more difficult to raise orphans and if they’re taken the the pound they’re usually euthanized within a day of arrival.
Gone hunting for fledglings you mean? Cats don't belong in nature so if people find a stray cat it should be taken to some place where it can't hurt any more birdies!
I'm sorry, cats don't belong in nature? they belong in space then? I'm glad there are cats that keep the pigeon population in check and also mouses... Birds aren't more important than cats. They are food. what about those poor insects and worms they eat, should we shoo the birds away?
I think what he means is that house cats kill way too many birds and have caused many native species to go extinct. It really is better to keep them as indoor cats. Birds are not more important than cats, but when you got a non-native species that is killing off tons of native ones, then you gotta do something about it and not just pretend that it's okay.
And please don't try to misunderstand what people mean when they say stuff like this. You might have a bias for cats, but native bird populations have been seriously hurt by them. Keep them indoors.
Who the hell cares about cats? Better let em become coyote or hawk food
I just found 4 baby birds this morning (fledgling) 😊..it's raining so i found them tucked in a not so deep corner near my fence in my yard. I'll just leave them alone like you've advised. I only placed a glass sheet over them to prevent heavy splashes of water. I also noticed their mum in the trees around. I hope they find strength and fly away 🙏. I'm still watching and observing. Thanks

“ let nature take its course “ Um if you see a dying human would you say let nature take its course? No, only when you see a animal. Help the animal call animal help or something
Yeah.
To your question.
Hawk Snake you would just let the human die? Someone’s edgyyyyy
My friend found a robin egg and it fell from a tree and we could still see it moving and everything so its still alive so she is keeping it under a hot lamp but what should she do becuse she feels bad if she abbandons it and she has seen so many youtubers have baby robins so what should she do . I used to have a bird so ive had experience with a bird dieing and stuff but that was a parekeet so what should my friend do
Thanks for this information about two types , and the correct directions.
PLEASE remember to keep your cat's inside,there's no such thing as an outdoors cat.
Word. I loathe people who believe that their cats should be free to roam, that somehow keeping them inside is being cruel. Cats are not a natural part of the environment - they have been subjected to artificial selection, and are exactly as humans made them (though they retain elements of their natural instinct, elements that were not bred out of them because humans used/use them for pest control). They DO NOT BELONG on their own, wandering the streets. Billions of animals worldwide are killed by "outdoor cats" annually. It's not the cat's fault - they're doing exactly what their instinct is telling them to. *It is people's fault.* I support any legislation anywhere that makes it a crime to let cats wander outside without leashes or supervision. Dogs are already banned from doing this - why should cats be any different? And yet this exception to the rules of pet ownership is carved out in so many cities/municipalities. It's ridiculous, and it needs to stop.
I usually have mercy and just bite the head off.
I heard that bird tastes like chicken.
When I was 9 my mom and I were walking home from the bus stop after school and we found two baby pigeons on the ground in front of our porch being devoured by ants. There was no parent of these little guys to be seen. My mom and I were horrified, thinking that both of the birds were dead. However, one of them were alive. My mom scooped the alive bird up and went inside to wash the ants off of it. We prepared a little box for it and took it to a person who knew about birds (he was rehabilitating birds or something). I'm really happy my mom looked closer and saw that one of the birds was still alive, because we probably would've left them to die if she hadn't.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE
nicely conveyed
amazing video. I liked it all. Beats others.
We found a Fledgeling and we left it just like the video said and we sat here watching it from far away and we suddenly saw the parents flying down to it and we’re happy to see that we saved a baby bird!
Great advice love your word
Listen! I'm here because I have found a little sparrow but it is eating nothing. I'm worried. It is not even opening it's mouth. How can I feed it?
Thank this really helps
THX SO MUCH
Thanks for this video! Thank God I watched it before doing anything stupid
Thanks helpful good job💛🐦
I found an injured chick a while back, and sat with it until I could call the shelter. I felt kinda helpless and wasn't sure what to do. The injuries were really bad. I'm glad it went somewhere safe, but I'[m watching this so next time I can help a little better.
I just found a nestling outside of my house. Literally outside, then I proceed to watch this vid 🙌
