I love how people think if you touch a baby bird the mother won’t want them,
Birds have no sence of smell. But they are afraid of humans, therefore if you take the baby from where the mother is from she will run away.
Awwww(:
@tukarak well life or money i pick life
lol… Canned cat WTF? xD
How do you feed a bird to a baby? I heard that its healthy and will make animals stronger to eat other animals so I want to feed my nephew dead animals that I find around the forests, but I don’t want to cook them since I want him to get like that animal spirit thing the indians talk about or whatever.
DONT TOUCH IT! LET IT DIE!!! please thats just killing it/putting it in stress birds can die from stress within 20minutes>.>
For the people complaining that you’re not supposed to touch baby birds. First of all, there’s nothing wrong with touching the bird if you’re going to assume responsibility of caring for it. Sparrow mothers don’t care if their babies are touched. They’ll take them back anyways. It’s a good idea when caring for a wild bird to dust it with mite dust to kill any mites it might have hiding in the feathers.
For the people who are taking this video seriously, don’t. The bird in the video is a dove. That isn’t how you feed a dove. Doves are herbivores. They only eat seeds. They’ll eat bugs only by accident while eating the seeds. They also supplement their diet with pebbles, which help them to digest their food. They don’t gape, so you have to feed them with a tube. You put warm mashed seeds and water into a tube and put the tube AROUND the bird’s beak and the bird will drink it.
Oh, and doves have crops – a little pouch that stores their food before it goes to the stomach. That makes it easy to figure out when to feed them. You just check to see how full their crop is. You want it to be full most of the time. Generally you can feed them every hour to two hours, and you don’t usually have to feed them at night. So sleep well.
Aww I want to raise a bird now :>
forget that Id let nature take its course
feed = heat
right????????????
I wonder if a human can eat that bird food…and how it would taste like?
if she just said only handle the bird when necessarily , why does that ugly girl keep touching it ?
baby birds have bird mites. and they bite and can infest your house. if u see a baby bird leave it outside. more then likely the mother will take care of it
what i do is grab bread and milk and give it to the baby bird and they grow just fine, but when they dont want to eat a grab my 9mm and point it at the baby bird untill it starts to eat lol lol jp
my friend found babies birds in her chimney, her cat was trying to eat them. Now we are trying to save them. They are black and they have a lot of skin with no feathers is this normal?
…and while you’re at it, fix me a ham, cheese and bacon sandwich on wheat would ya?
