It's been about 2 and a half weeks now. He's been eating and pooping good. But it's been a few days now that he's went silent. Is this a sign of sickness? Is there anything I can do for it?<br />Gloria Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655895552815177481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999508328036467805.post-74433819317259442112017-07-17T08:43:09.860-04:002017-07-17T08:43:09.860-04:00If you can't get the babies to open up, just m...If you can't get the babies to open up, just make some kissing noises with your mouth.

That was fine, but when he landed, he landed on a mouse trap. It caught him by the tail feathers which he either ripped off trying to get out of the trap, or the trap broke them off. Either way, he seems fine but has no tail feathers so he can't fly. Will they grow back if I keep feeding and caring for him? And by the way, all the info you've shared with us so far is just wonderful.

He is so calm and loving around it and for an autistic spectrum child this is very shocking. So maybe this was God's plan to help me to help him find away to show love we have lost so many family members this past year including my dad this past march and being a single mom of a lil boy has like everything its ups and downs. However i cant seem to get the baby to eat but i can get him to drink some water.

My cat snagged one and I'm trying to save him. I checked all over but haven't heard or seen anything from any adults who might claim him, so I'm trying to help him out. The cat hasn't been harmed too much, a small scrape on his little noggin is all, he has a combo of fluff and feathers, and I've just gotten done feeding him crushed egg shells, mashed up cat food and smooshed hard-boiled egg. He took 3 fingertips full and then fell asleep on my lap. Your page recommended feeding several times per hour, but how much at one time? I don't want to over feed him and have him get sick. He doesn't want to take the food from me, I've had to sort of open his mouth and shove it in and then wait for him to swallow it. Not sure what I'm doing in the slightest. LOL... I have fostered day old kittens and bottle fed sheep, but birds are a whole new territory for me. If it's not too much trouble, could you email me direct? My email is janelle.perret@gmail.com.
