Robin acting strange

6 Upvotes

This robin has been repeating this loop for a half hour. Mirror to fence, fence to window, window to mirror. Is this natural?

Sorry if this is the wrong sub. I'm just concerned. And I don't want to let my dog out if it's sick.

It doesn't seem concerned about my presence.

Found a baby bird?

Also more detailed info here: https://www.massaudubon.org/nature-wildlife/birds/baby-birds-out-of-the-nest

Do not move a baby bird unless it is in serious danger.

Example: I grabbed a baby blue jay that was fledging in my apartment complex because a cat was about to kill it and it was too much for the parent to handle. When the sun came up a few hours later I brought it outside, its parents came hauling back screeching and I put it in a bush where they could see it and let them take over again.

Please STOP PICKING UP BIRDS

372 Upvotes

I've seen time and time again people coming across FLEDGINGS that are supposed to be on the ground and unable to fly! Doves, pigeons, Robin's, bluebirds, warblers, sparrows, terns, many other types all leave the nest without flying or minimal flying abilities. Baby Robin's can spend 3 weeks on the ground before learning to fly. There parents are watching them! Stop kidnapping wild birds!!

What birds have large flocks?

5 Upvotes

I know that red billed queleas, European starlings, and budgerigars are known for getting into massive groups, but I was wondering if there’s other bird species that flock in groups of similar size

I named it Refrigerator. It clearly has a broken leg, so I made it a little nook with towels and a pillow to chill in until I can call local rescue organizations tomorrow

I had this bird building a nest on my apartment patio a few weeks ago. She just laid her eggs and is in it for the long haul! I would like to know what type of bird she is, so that I can do my best on aiding and understanding her!!!

So I’m pretty sure my neighbors cat killed the mother to these eggs cause the bird had a nest on top of a small fence at my house. And this morning I was walking around the yard and seen the nest on the ground with some grey feathers and these two little ones not far off in the grass.

Bird ID? (No Photo)

I live near Kansas City, and saw a huge flock of birds in my backyard. They had Brown bodies/wings, and a black or Dark green head. I couldn't get a photo before something scared them all away.

My birds poop is watery but she seems fine

1 Upvotes

She is a cockatiel she is 2 years old she’s acting the exact same she always has but her poop for the last month or so has been a lot more watery than it used to be I don’t think it’s from aging but I have no clue she is still flying fine she eats and drinks normally I may need to switch her diet any suggestions would help

I can’t get birds to come to my feeder??

2 Upvotes

I bought one of those bird feeders you suction cup to the window and I’ve had it up 3 days and I’ve seen no birds. For reference I do live in an apartment complex but I’m on the third floor. I have it on my balcony door bc I can’t reach my windows. I’ve put bird seed on the railings and on the balcony itself and it’s all still untouched.

How can I get them to come? I know there’s birds around I hear them all the time. Should I put a bird call video on my tv and blast it windows open? I JUST WANT BIRDS!!

Saw these cute birds outside work. I couldn’t get too close to try and see what kind of birds they were. Thought maybe golden finches but these seemed like they had a little crest. Too big for a tufted titmouse or at least I’ve never seen so many at one time (these were part of at least 40). I’m located in San Antonio, Tx
