Abandon bird nest?

Written by Bird Watcher on December 29th, 2009

ladybugluck asked:

mother hasnt been at the nest for days, probably 2-3. Im positive. Its located on the side of our house and she just got too annoyed with our yardwork and dogs, just too much. I took the eggs out, and it happened to be parasitized by cowbird eggs. SO there are 3 little white ones (she was a sparrow), and then 4 cowbird eggs. i have them on a heating pad (on low) and under a heat lamp. How do i know if they are even alive anymore? I dont want to be holding onto dead eggs. I am keeping them in the same upright position, i know about the air sac. I CAN see the embryos in the white eggs, but i can in the brown speckled ones bc its too dark to see through. Any help would be great.

I plan on releasing them to a rehabber.
its been really warm -like 90- the last few days so im thinking they might be ok?
the mother bird hasnt been there in days, ur a *****.there already are 2 eggs that have been shoved out of the nest a while ago smashed and smelling horrible right on my deck. i dont want rotting eggs. AND the particular nest she used has been there for years, and is reused by birds every year. if the eggs just ***** and rot, the nest will be useless. I cant believe how many idiots on answers are ignorant.

Birds of same feather flock together. Does this apply to Senator Obamas and his acquaintances?

Written by Bird Watcher on December 28th, 2009

inquisitive asked:

Senator Obama was friendly with Bill Ayers,Tony Rezko and had a strong relationship until 48 hrs with Rev Wright. if we consider the old saying “Birds of same feather flock together” it means we are missing something about him.

Anyone have experience traveling with pet birds? My wife and I are thinking of getting an RV and have pets?

Written by Bird Watcher on December 26th, 2009

ANTHONY M asked:

We have 2 cockatiels, male and female, as well as a small dog. I heard birds don’t travel well, but with an RV as a bigger space than a car, am wondering how this would go? Love to hear similiar experience on traveling with pets. Thanks in advance.
