3 squabs need foster in Bay Area, Ca!!!Hi everyone!
I took in three squabs (about 20 days old) from Berkeley Dog & Cat Hospital earlier this week (emergency favor) but cannot see them through to weaning. Is anybody able to take them in? Please let me know ASAP!!! I can give you the feeding syringe, Kaytee exact hand-rearing formula, some aspen pine shavings, and the glass aquarium I have them housed in currently. Hopefully someone can help! Thanks!! Please email me at karimaracic@yahoo.com if you can take them in!!

I just wanted to throw in that I think wood shavings are potentially very toxic to birds. I hope someone here can confirm, but to err on the side of caution, I'd remove the pine bedding.

 One didn't make it. I'm so sad! Of the three, though he seemed a little lethargic, he was one of the two I thought would be fine. The two remaining are the siblings, one of which has never looked very well (skinny and a little wonky, and I keep expecting him to be gone each morning), the other of which is super boisterous and peppy - he seems to be just fine and very healthy. I hope they survive. I hate losing a bird. I wonder if two of them ingested some of the poison that killed the parents off... People can be so cruel. *sigh*

Hi everyone,
Tiny and Darby have a very good apetite, they are sleeping now, and Darby is soo active, and was following my pigeon Jorgito, probably thought that was the father or mother, I don't know but they are both lovely, Tiny is smaller and quiet, but is eating very well, so I hope they both can make it...

Hi Ivette,
I am so glad they are doing well!!! I have them in my prayers, I want them to make it - the poor little things. I have to say I miss them already - especially little Darby, such a personality on that one already!! (Feel free to change their names of course!!) I am so encouraged that they were picking away at the pellets today, please do keep me posted on their progress!! Meanwhile, Brooklyn is so happy to be back in the house finally. He is strutting all over - King of his castle again. He's on the sofa now snuggled up next to my 2 chihuahuas watching TV, way past their bedtime!!! Anyway...Thank you again so very very much for taking them in! Warmest regards, Kari Jo

Poor little Tiny didn't make it through the night, so put all your good thoughts on sweet Darby. He seemed like the healthiest of the bunch, real energetic and such a character! I am hoping he makes it!!!
