Search Results for ‘fledgeling’

3 weeks ago, a fledgling fell off my roof too early. Over the last 3 weeks, it’s parents have flown down and fed it. A neighborhood cat nearly got it one day (it flew into my pool and I had to get it out) so for the next few weeks, every night I got it into a dog crate I placed outside and every...

Let me start with some back story, my name is Kat and my grandmother was a bird rescuer. The 1st tattoo I got was my grandma's name and the 2nd was 2 flying pigeons. I was planning on becoming one as well but my grandma had a double knee replacement and I wasn't able to apprentice under her...

Yesterday I spotted a young pigeon in my garden. I left some water out and saw that it’s parent was regularly walking alongside it so let them crack on. They’re in my front garden which is frequented by a local cat so I’ve been keeping an eye out, but the pigeon disappeared yesterday evening. I...

Hey all, Long story short, we have a Wood Pigeon (UK) who appears to have fallen out a nest (couldn't find the nest itself). They have their adult feathers, and all appear to be intact/undamaged. I've given it a once-over and there's no blood or obvious signs of injury, tail-vent area looks...

Hello, Yesterday around 3pm I found a fledging with splayed legs outside my window. It looks like the mom created it’s nest right outside my window on the ground. The issue is I had to bring it inside due to the high traffic area of where I live. A lot of people walk their dogs which made me...

Hey everyone!! We have two wild pigeons that have nested in our garden the past few months and we have bonded with them so much! They have nested high up on a ledge and also closed off that we thought they were safe from predators. They had two hatchlings and in a shocking turn of events they...

One of my the babies born on my balcony on Mother’s Day seems not to be growing like the other and I’m afraid that he isn’t being fed by his parents. He is always yelling for me. I leave water, fruit and seeds for them but am not sure if he is able to eat on his own. I have handled him when he...

Hi there! We're in east London, UK. We found this sweetheart while doing a socially distant queue (there are upsides!) I noticed her squeaking and she was hiding on the floor in a doorway very scared, with a slight limp wing (she had full movement but it was hanging very low). A man in the...

Today, my parent's friends brought me a sparrow since they knew I was big on birds. Apparently their cat brought this little fellow and they don't know where it was from, where are the parents, etc. I can't refuse a bird in need so I thought I might give it a try but this is more challenging...

How old does a baby pigeon have to be before you can take them from their parents and not have a lot of problems? I plan on raising our babies inside once they're old enough, because the other birds in the coop have been killing them once they're on the floor of the loft. We've lost three this...
