Re: BABY BIRD BABY BIRD.
Do you have a low perch for him/her to try to sit on? Maybe that might help his leg a bit too. (Talked with her on the phone this morning incase anyone is wondering. Poor little birdy has an ouchie leg.)
I bet he is keeping you all hopping to keep him fed! LOL

Re: BABY BIRD BABY BIRD.
ok update on baby bird. to day i gave him a bath again. his poos are JUST NOT RIGHT and i know it. sooooo more resuch and i FINDLY found a site that give info. and a food mix WOOT. also he is deidrated. i think to much water has been givein to him. with his food. soo he is on gateraid. and i mixed up his food OMG GAG made me almost up cuck nasty stuff. and i toss some in the frezzer for later to. didnt have apple sause soo i used crushed plumbs. he hasnt been hungry yet. so ill see how this "food" goes soon enught. .... awww he just pooed. with the gateraide i can see its much better now. woot. also this site gave me a gide line of time when they whould be machering. im guessing this little guy is only about 4 weekish old. soo that meens still hand feeding for 4 moreweeks atlest. befor he can start to learn to eat on his own.
as for the leg. im not real sure yet. it seems to be a little better. he still favors it in the cage. but when he has his baths i tell ya its a KICKIN like no tomarow. so he can use it just cant seem to stand on it i guess. .... any way ill try to keep you all updated on this.

Great site! I read the very last part of it though. Darlin...he's imprinted on all of you. Your not gonna be able to turn him loose as he will have no fear of humans, cats or dogs.
Glad his little leg is able to kick about, maybe the rest of the healing will follow soon.

Re: BABY BIRD BABY BIRD.
well yeah i kinda figored that hun. hence why i whent a head and got a cage for him. any way he seems MUCH better now. he has got a little fat on him just to day a lone. his skin is more of a purple color then that red. he seems to really like the food. the poos are much less watery ...... just would like to see him on that purch some time. and walk or hop around. ;o( but yeah he know us well and im sure he cant go wild now much to late for that. poor little guy.

Re: BABY BIRD BABY BIRD.
up date on baby bird.
guys i dont know what to do with him some days he is great others he is worst. the last 2 days i have been wondering what kind of life this little guy will have.
you know about the one leg. well now what ever is worng with the one leg seems to have efected the other leg. and at no injory at all. or misshapps.
just seems his outher leg is not working right eather. he cant stand and is haveing a hard time keeping balance on his belly. the legs seem to have gone in differant directions.
this i would asume would be from beein on a flat smooth serfice. BUT this guy hasnt been. he has been on a gripable serfice. like wash coths or paper towles just as all my chicks where raised on. i never had a leg prob with them.
i thought maybe the food. but he is getin all the right fats minerals vitamens ect ect. in his mix. i thought maybe sunlight. but he is sunbathing.
the legs move and the toes wiggle. they kick and all that. BUT he can not seem to control it and he can not seem to stand. for a wile he was on his "knees" if you will or hocks. and hoping about. but now he cant even seem to do that any more.
i dont think he will ever fly. and he gets a round on his wings. i worry the next thing to go on him is his wings.
he is very much alert bright eyed and bushy tailed. full of life. but seems to be stugleing.
i think we have to make a choice. if we keep him he will be a ful time care for the rest of his life. or if we dont i wonder if its not best to just let him go.

Well, if he was favoring one leg, the other may be stressed. I would rig him up like we do chicks for spraddle leg. Give him a week in it and then see how things are.
