Is it ok to but baby birds that are rejected into another nest? I have recently found one that a mother rejected because it was a bit injured, however I saw another nest and put it in there, I was wondering if this is ok? Please answer =&#92;..

Probably not. You might want to go and see if you can't find that little guy again. And then, try going to www.audubon.org and see if there is a branch near you that might be able to take the bird in, or find a local vet to bring it to. Because you really can't put the bird into a random nest - what ever kind of creature owns it will more then likely reject it as well, since it's not that particular bird's off spring.

I currently live in a log home and get carpenter ants all the time. I wipe the walls with bleach water as soon as I see one and they don't come back for a year. I try to wipe the walls with bleach water at least 2times during the summer(once to get rid of them and the second time to keep them away).\n\n\nJust thought I would let you know that rmaylaura is interested in ya. I seen a question she asked and she wants you to take notice in her. To bad I was hopin' I caught your eye. I guess too little too late;( Also I have a question for ya. Just click on my profile and it will be under the questions I asked.

I've heard of attacks by mockingbirds and bluejays and have seen both of these birds swoop on other potential predators such as cats. They only do it when they feel their nest (with eggs or nestlings) is threatened. The solution is just to stay away from the nest.

Always difficult to buy for Mums, aren't they..?\nHow about a subscription to a birdwatching/gardening magazine &/or a portable chair for the garden that she can use for both of her hobbys...AND maybe source a plant that has a latin name like hers...easy to look up in the internet..\nHope she has a wonderful day - how can she not with a son like you??Ahhhhh!

According to folk lore and old wives' tales (at least here in the South), cardinals crossing our path is good luck but when a cardinal keeps staying at your window, "attacking" himself (because he thinks it's another male threatening his territory) it means there will be a death in the household within a year.  I had one at my window for 3 months and it nearly drove us crazy.  I don't understand how he didn't batter his brains out.  Anyway, two years have passed, but no household members have passed, thank goodness.  So much for tales!

Birds don't produce milk, so they can't digest it.  Parent birds regurgitate food for their babies, so the babies get a partially digested paste of whatever the parents have been eating.  This varies according to what kind of bird it is.  There is a good commercially produced hand-feeding formula for seed-eating birds, but it won't provide proper nutrition for birds that eat anything else, and improper feeding can kill a bird just as quickly as not feeding it at all.\nThe best thing to do with any baby wild animal you find is to leave it where it is.  The parents will usually come back for it.  If they don't, find a wildlife rehabilitation center in your area and take it to them as soon as possible, being sure to keep it warm on the way.\nLots of well-meaning people pick up babies they think are orphaned or abandoned, and many of those babies don't survive even the best attempts to raise them.  Please keep that in mind before you pick up any animal you find!

I don't think the male will incubate the eggs. I believe that only female eggs incubate eggs. I think you should take the birds to a shelter or store or something so they can live.

I've seen baby squirrels on the ground-their parents protect them so maybe you're not being still enough\nA hunter I know was in camo in a tree being real still and one ran up his arm!\nKeep looking

Eggsactly .......  and pedestrians were banned as they would always be walking on eggshells ,,,,,,,,  but cars were always breaking down on the new road until someone told them to 'pull their yolk out' and drive to a Shell garage. But the yolk was actually on the town planners who ended up with co*k ups and down the new road. And when a local reporter asked them for their view on the whole matter, they replied 'Fowl!'.  First to go were the 'battery' hens for fear that they would try and 'start something' ..... their eggs were laid 'to rest' until someone broke in an poached them while the others scrambled. And all for chickenfeed!\nEggsciting?   Eggshilerating?  Eggasperating? And did they give them free range?  Or simply feathering their own nests?  Any for an omelette?

They must have escaped from someone - they are not native to America.  They may have been adopted by the starlings, so they will probably survive. They don't usually live in such cold climates though. Help them by feeding them through your bird feeder.  Just out of curiosity what colour are they???

Yes, they are. Until we learn to care for the ones already exisitng, we should hold off on creating more of our own. (Just a personal observation.) Perhaps some of these families who like to pop out kid after kid should adopt one (or several).

Ravens and all birds are considered to be messengers. As I speak there are 4 outside picking up the deer corn. Do I consider this a message. No. But last year one came and sat on the top of the gazebo and wouldn't shut up. Very annoying. About an hour later the phone rang. My daughter had just been rushed into the hospital in premature labor. What's really great about the ravens is they have a plan. About 10 or more get together and each has it's own job. One takes one road and the other ones have thier own road to monitor. When one finds food, they call to the next one, which calls to the next one and pretty soon all of them are there eating. Owls on the other hand are considered messengers of death or soon to be dead. So watch those hooters. Oh, and usually if you see an eagle, a raven is not far away. Well, where I live anyway. I just answered this ? yesterday. Now as i sit here typing, there's a Bald Eagle sitting out on the ice in front of our house. And inching closer. The only thing I can figure is, the ravens were here yesterday eating. If he's bringing a messenger... This has never happened before. Maybe I should go out there. Oh...he's walking this way!! For true.

Why would you want to REVERSE AN ADOPTION?? \nI am going to assume that the reason for wanting to do this is that you are no longer going to be with the natural parent of this child and you want out of the responsibility for that chid as well. If that is the case it is the most selfish thing I have ever heard of! You agreed to be a parent to that child!! This is as bad as parents that skip out on their natural born, you chose to be a parent to this child and now you are choosing to leave it behind. Imagine what you are doing to this childs self image and esteem!! Have you really thought about what you are doing?

If you only have one canary then it can not be fertile but if you have a male and female then you may see some babies soon.If they arent fertile she will throw the eggs out of the nest herself.

Have you ever had a tiny pet that was really helpless on its own? I hate two pet parakeets and at first I literally had to work to teach one of them how to drink water. Now they really have nothing to offer me, they kinda hate me sometimes and ignore me, stare at me like I am the animal in a cage, and all I do is find myself cleaning up their poo-poo and giving them new food and water...... I think God might view us in much the same way.... And for some strange reason, he just really loves us and thinks we are worth it.

That was a joke right? Good one! Take pics and send them to me!\n\nNow, on the off chance that it wasn't a joke...\n\nFish? If you do, take pics of the fish, I wanna know how she plans to... no, no I don't. It's just that morbid curiousity of mine surging again. Definitely don't wanna know about the fish.\n\nBut, seriously, once she gets what she wants, is she going to want it more and more? Doesn't sound like there's any easy way out of it, except to dump her, wait for her to find... (what's it called? a xenophile?) somebody that ***** chickens and all that, and call the police on them for animal abuse. That should teach her. I mean, sex with four out of five of the animals you mentioned would most likely kill them. And I'm pretty sure I know what she wants to do with the fish, and it WILL die in there.\n\nFish? Ew!

dude, i asked the same question about a week ago. I saw the second base monster from another question that involved it. The answers i got from most of the people was that it was an hypothetical question, an analogy of sorts. It can basically be anything that could happen when you are rounding 2nd base, but there are certainly no monster at 2nd base.
