For the first symptoms the liver has already degenerated to 80% and only an urgent (and accurate) veterinary action can save your bird and revert the liver situation. If you simply feed your bird with the loose seeds mixture (even if you give it fresh fruits and vegetables and let it exercise, for example by letting it out of the cage at home), right now your pet's liver is degenerating, and neither you nor your bird know. Without liver protectors, it is almost certain that your bird will prematurely die and in many cases you will not be able to determine its real cause.

The liver protectors are amino acids, vitamins (of which they have a protective effect on the liver, such as vitamin C), fatty acids and essential oils that remove the fat from the liver, clean it, protect it and favor its recovery. They are cheap food supplements and it is essential to add them to your pet birds diet to conserve their liver. It is something that professionals as breeders and vets know, but we the owners usually don't know. Even, it are increasingly appearing in the market compound feed for pet birds that don’t include fatty seeds and that already include several liver protectors. But the vast majority of owners still confidently feed their birds with the typical mixture of loose seeds with little fat and other very fatty seeds... And their birds continue dying of hepatitis due to fatty liver in a large number of cases (probably, in most cases). Now we know that, as fatty liver disease develops from the daily food itself, it’s most likely THE FIRST CAUSE OF DEATH OF PET BIRDS, and more likely as the bird ages. Some web pages that I have found about it (in Spanish). For example, this page echoes the wrong food situation in which these animals are too often: www.timbrado.com/malnutricion.shtml And on this other page: www.veterinaria.org/revistas/redvet/n111110B/111004B.pdf it’s described that the clinical manifestations of hepatic diseases in ornamental birds are much more frequent than people could imagine and that in many cases they are not appreciated, progress in a silent way and when they are evident, veterinary action may (usually) arrive late. To remark that, in general, practically any avian symptomatology should be considered as if it were a pathology that could be serious, and not allow the disease to develop because then it will probably be too late. To do this, we must thoroughly investigate the symptoms, take preventive measures that do not harm (such as giving liver and intestinal protectors according to the leaflet) ask for advice from veterinarians, breeders, etc. and administer the most appropriate treatment RAPIDLY, but without rushing in the treatment or with the doses in such small animals. If the days go by and the bird does not improve, it is necessary to continue investigating and, if necessary, change the medication in an informed and contrasted manner. Doing nothing or stopping research usually ends up with the bird dead, but acting without being sure of what is done and in what dose, it likely ends the same way. Finally, it is necessary to obtain and confirm the sufficient veterinary experience and have the serenity to determine in each case whether it is convenient to hasten to do and / or administer what medicine and in what dose, or if it is better not to do and let the situation evolve without medicating for the time being, or according to the medication that has already been administered. And that a limp in a bird is not always an injury caused by a blow, but the symptom of a disease of some organ (usually the liver or an intestinal disease) that needs to be discovered and treated as soon as possible. When in doubt, change diet to one with the lowest possible fats (only birdseed, or birdseed with other low-fat seeds such as millet, chia, fresh fruits and vegetables) and administer lipotropic and regenerating liver protectors in curative doses immediately ... although nothing could foreshadow a fatal outcome. Acidcare also has protective properties of the intestinal mucosa and stimulants of the immune system. In doses according to the leaflet do not cause damage and will surely save the life of your bird (if it is not too late). Hopefully these comments will be useful to save your pet birds from an absurd death and to keep them with a basic wellness.
No worries. This white wagtail is not a pet bird but wild one. She lives on her own and she seems to just drop by his garden as one of her breakfast places. We shouldn't forget that Japan bans people to keep any wild animals as pets except for certain predefined reasons. But thank you for your input.
ハクセキレイ、人懐っこくて、
めんこいですね😄。…👍✨
人間が好きみたいです。^ ^
じっと見ていると、だんだん寄ってきますよ。^_^
本当に可愛いです。☺️
また来て巣作りをして欲しいな。
とっても可愛いです！
また来てネ！
💞💚💕💙💘🇨🇱
>0:48
めっちゃ見てる
たべものあるのでしょう？おだしなさいなみたいな
この子には餌はあげてませんが、いつも近くに寄ってきてました。0:48のところは、スマホで顔が隠れてたので、いつもと違う人間かと疑ったみたいです。慌てて右の方に回って、ブロックの隙間から顔を確認して、安心して、また前に戻って来ました。^ ^
やっぱりcmついてますね😄
何回観てもかわいいおしりです😄
本当についてますね。ちょっと笑えます。^ ^;
ハクセキレイは、情緒豊かでとても遊び好きでした。^ ^
飛ぶ時もジジジジと鳴きながら、ちょっと羽ばたいて、勢いでちょっと滑空して、また羽ばたくって感じです。慣れると、見えなくても飛ぶ声でわかります。^ ^

おたがいに
自分の動画にcmついてた事知らなくて教えてもらって気づくという😆
セキレイの鳴き声は特徴的な鳴き声なんですね😄今度見かけたら聞いてみたいです。
いいね。可愛い鳥！
最近、わての近所でも見かけるわ。歩いてると急に降りてきて、わざわざ目の前を、ちょこちょこと歩いていく。何やら、性格がドバトに似とるぞ。長い間に人間を観察した結果、こいつらには敵意はないぞと、分かったんじゃないかな。同じ星に生きる者として、仲良くしていきたいもんじゃ。
近づくと逃げるけど黙ってるとよってくるよねこの鳥
理由については詳しくは知らないんですけど
セキレイさん達は人間をあまり恐れない鳥のようです
@@グリモワール-y9x ツバメが人の住居に巣を作るのと同じ理由でしょう、人間がそばにいれば、カラスや猛禽類の襲撃をうけない。
駐車場でよく見かける鳥だな
トコトコ歩いてかわいいやつ
So cute 😍
Thank you.ありがとうございます。^ ^
メスだと分かるのは体の色合いでですか？
ほぼ毎日私の家の裏口扉にタックルしてノックして来ます。開けてやるとチチッチチッと鳴いてエサを催促し、あげると満足して帰っていきます。
たまにキッチン窓の正面までホバリングして（正確には間欠で羽ばたいて上下しつつ）ジロジロ家の中を物色までしている😮しかも換気扇で料理の匂いが外に漂い出すとどこからともなくまた現れる……
過去に4回ほど家の中に歩いて入って来ましたｗテーブルの上の食パンの切れ端だけ持ち出してた日もあった😀
人間の行動をよーく見ている鳥さんですよね。
ありがとうございます。^ ^
基本、人が好きみたいですね。^_^
とても感情豊かで、一羽一羽性格も違いますね。^ ^
この子は、つがいできたこともあって、オスを待たせて自分の近くを散策したあと、呼び鳴きをしているオスに小走りで近づいて、羽を下げて甘えてました。オスメスですが、冬はメスの頭がグレーみたいです。このチャンネルの二番目から、いく本か投稿した動画はオスだったと思います。ちなみに、plaza.rakuten.co.jp/teaandmuffin/diary/201806180000/?scid=wi_blg_amp_dac_4
こちらのブログにオスメスの違いが分かりやすく書かれてます。^ ^
リンク先拝見しました
なるほど！家族内で勝手に「シロクロ（白と黒がはっきりしている子）」や「グレ（グレーだから笑）」とか呼んでいて、なんとなくはっきりした色合いの子の方が攻撃的で気の強い子が多い印象があったので
オスかな～とか思ってたんですが、これを読むとあながち間違いでもなさそうでスッキリしました！
セキレイちゃんはお茶目な動きや仕草が多いです。それに人が好きだなんて言う事なし😂
会社で粉塵まみれの中で君に会うと癒されます
うちは女の子はほとんど来ない
ハクセキレイのお尻なら永遠に追える
こんにちは
今日はこれがおすすめに出てましたよ。
このおしりぷりぷり、うちのだいずちゃんもやったことありました。
これはメスのなにかの行動のような感じか。
それにしても12万回視聴凄いですね😊
ありがとうございます。^^
一番再生数多いのはこれで、ほかの動画には反映されてません。；；
お尻フリフリというか、しっぽピコピコは、オスのセキレイもやってます。^^
寒くなれば、ことりpiyoさんの町にも現れると思うので見てみてください。^^
人が好きみたいで、じっと見てると寄ってきたりしますよ。^^
sekireikuro さん
おしりぷりぷりはオスもメスもやるんですねー😆
寒くなったら現れるんですね
この動画を参考にして見てみます^_^
駐車場とか道端によくいますよ。^^
撮影してても逃げないのすごいです！
可愛い💕
ありがとうございます。
初めて来た子でも、しゃがんでジーっと見てると、だんだん寄ってきます。基本的に人が好きみたいです。^^
尻尾がフリフリしてて可愛すぎる
尾羽を地面にぴとぴととしてから、チョコチョコと歩き回る姿は本当に可愛いですよねｗ
ほんとだ😍
かわいい！

ありがとうございます。^^
ほんとですねー、凄く可愛いですね、この子がコガネムシをたべたのですね、セキレイクロさんのネーミングのルーツを知って親近感感じました♩ハクセキレイではなくセキレイクロさん。教えてくれてありがとうございます。
カブトムシの幼虫を小さくしたようなコガネムシの幼虫を大喜びしながら持って行って、すぐに帰ってきました。^^
本当はクロセキレイにしたかったんですが、確か、もう名前を登録してる人がいたので。
もう少し考えればよかったです。^^;
sekireikuro さんの名前いいと思いますねー！😆👍🌸
よく学校の屋上にいて移動する時スケート滑ってるみたいやから名前わからなくてスケートする鳥って呼んでた
この子可愛い☺
可愛かったですよ。外に出ると、上から降りてきてました。
可愛すぎて泣ける
可愛すぎ問題
よく駐車場で見かける鳥ですよね。
ですよ、可愛いですよ。^^

セキレイ本当カワエエわー！
ウチにもハクセキレイが来ました！
名前がわからなかったのですが、
この動画を見ていたので、
「あの鳥かも？」(^_-)-☆
と思いました。

色合いがおしゃれ
セキレイってよく見かけますがカワイイですよね😉
ですよ。今の時期です。
セキレイってほんとかわいいですよね。気のせいかもしれませんが、セキレイと道端で出会ってじっと見てると、おおっあなた私のことみてますね、どうもです。
ていうウェルカムなリアクションをしてくれた経験が何度かあります。
気のせいじゃないと思います。別の動画で、初めて会ったセキレイのものがありますが、じーっと見てると、だんだん寄って来るんです。しまいには、50㌢ぐらいの所でお尻を向けて、飛んで来る雪をパッ、パッと食べて遊んでました。基本的に人間が好きなんだとおもいます。
ほんと、可愛いですね。
とても人懐こくて、
餌付けができます。
毎日、外で仕事をしてるので
休憩時間に、お菓子の
カケラを毎日、あげていたら
休憩時間になると
必ず、飛んできて
近くをピヨピヨ歩き回ります。だんだん
馴れてきて、かなり近くまで
来てくれます。
私もよくハクセキレイを見に公園に行きます。
尾のフリフリと、小走りが可愛い過ぎますよね(*´ω｀*)
本当に可愛いし、じっと見てるとだんだん寄ってきます。^^
あなたががいじめないって知ってるから安心して寄ってくるんですね
この子は、外に出ると上からすぐに降りてきましたね。一度、降りてきたのにすぐに家に入ったら、手前までダーッと走ってきて５０センチほど飛び上がり、ギャギャギャッて文句を言ってました。
また、この子にどけと襲ってきたイソヒヨドリを追い払ってやったところ、次にまた襲われた際に、自分に助けを求めて走ってきました。
基本、ハクセキレイは人間が好きなようです。じっと見てると、だんだん寄ってきます。
可愛いんだわ～(о´∀`о)ちょこちょこ歩く仕草たまら～ん♪
重機乗りの使い魔www
今の時期はエサ少ないから、ちょっと穴を掘ったり土を散らしたりするとすぐ飛んで集まってくるよね〜。土の中で眠ってた虫掘り返されるからさ。カラスやタカとかが冬眠中のカエルを拾ってく隣でセコセコと重機の後を追いかけてくるの可愛い笑
という、重機オペレーターあるある。
目に浮かぶようです。^^
これ、ハクセキレイと言う種ですか、
家にも来ますよ。
初めはメスが勇気を示して、2年目からはオスも来だして、次第につがいで堂々とエサであるポテトチップスのカラムーチョを催促してきますよ。
あげ方はデカイままでは食べられないので、鶺鴒の一口大に手で粉砕し、あげてます。
野鳥のなので、ポテチ以外も食べてます。
蛾や蜘蛛などを、食べてました。
ですから、エサをあげなくても頻繁によく来ますよ。
はい、初めてくる子でも、じっと見てるとだんだん寄ってきます。
人間が好きみたいです。^^
へー、家のとこに来るセキレイは餌を与え続けたので、たまにコンソメやら、ガーリックとかに変えてあげないことには、懐かないですよ。
悲しいなーもう。
ポテチは味が濃くて、鳥にはよくない気もします。
インコなどを飼ってみるのもいいですよ。
お尻がピコピコしとる( ˙꒳˙ )💕
他の動画で見たが、えさをやったらなつくみたいです。
エサをやらなくても、じっと見てると、だんだん寄ってきますよ。
初めて来たハクセキレイが寄ってくる動画もあります。

ハクセキレイ大好き♡
最近うちの近所でも見るようになって近づいても（30センチくらい）逃げなくて。
その時は「こいつ大物だなー」と思いながら見てたんだけど実際可愛いですよね＾＾
しかしスズメと言いこの子といいあんな細い足でアスファルトの上を跳ねたり走り回ったりしてるけど「痛くないのかなー」って思います
可愛いですよね。人間が好きで、じっと見てるとだんだん近づいてきます。
小鳥は体が軽いので、足の負担も少ないのかもです。うちのセキセイインコでも40ｇ前後です。
美人さんですねー(^^)💕
可愛かったですよ。性格も。^^
思わせぶりによって来ては ススス〜と離れて またよって来る可愛いトリさん
この時は、いつもと違ってスマホで動画を取っていたので顔が見えず、途中で知らない人かと怖くなり、あわてて下がって横のブロックの隙間から顔を確認して、安心してもう一度近づいてきた感じです。外に出ると、いつも寄ってきてました。
すごく可愛い女の子ですね😍💕
うちに来るイケメンの男の子のお嫁さんになってほしいな✨
ありがとうございます。
イケメンの子はぴっちー君ですね。見たことあります。^^
残念、動画の子はつがいできたことがあります。
オスが少し離れたところで、こっちへおいでと鳴くのを無視して、自分の近くを散策したあと、足早にオスのもとへ走っていき、両の羽根を下げてプルプル震わせながら甘えていました。^^
むっちゃ可愛かったです。^^
sekireikuro さん、それは残念😆💦
でも、
お返事読ませていただいて、想像しただけでも、可愛さ伝わって萌え死にそうでした🥰

ハクセキレイって名前だったんだ←
セキレイさん
こんにちは、
こんな場所から突然ですが
セキレイさんはツイッターは見れますか？
昨日迷子セキセイインコが外で捕まらないツイートがあって
今朝はハクセキレイ？や雀と一緒に何かをつついているのがツィートされていて、見ていてもどかしいというか暑いから早く保護されたらいいなと気になって仕方ないです😢
何か良い方法ないかなとか思います。
ていうか動画とずれた話ですみません🙏なぜかセキレイさんに聞きたくなりまして。
twitter.com/shinnme2/status/1293315412357070849?s=21
今見ました。島根なんですね、ちょっと遠いな。
罠はなかなか難しそうですね。
・まずはシードと、ケージか鳥を入れるものと、とっさにかぶせる布（上着もよさそう）を用意する。
・近づけるとこまでいってしゃがんで餌を蒔いて、じっと待つ（安心させないと）。ここで、手乗りならいいですが、荒鳥だと難しいですね。
・で、餌に集中して近づいてきたら、すばやく布で覆ってつかまえる（ケージに入ればいいんですが）。
・他の鳥と居るときは他の鳥が飛ぶと一緒についていくと思うので、一羽の時が狙い目。
ただ、女性のとっさのスピードでは難しい気がします。
あと、鳥になれてないと、つかまえるときにけがをさせる可能性も。
一度失敗すると次は近づいてこないかも。
パンを持って近づいてく動画がありましたが、あれは焦り過ぎだし、パンを食べモノとはわからないかも。
このぐらいしか出てきません。
ツイッターで、近くの鳥飼さんに応援を頼めると一番いいんですが。
sekireikuro さん
確かに
うちのくりちゃんも荒鳥だから捕まえるのは難しかったけど好きな食べ物手に持ってだまっていたら手から食べるようになって今は人の手イコールおやつって感じにうろうろしてますね。
パンを見せても怖がらせてしまいますよね。
焦らないことが大切ですね。
でもこの暑さだし、鳥を知ってる若い人が応援に来てくれるといいんですが。
sekireikuro さん
このままは可哀想だから
いんこだよりっていうサイトに登録して投稿してみようかと。
近くに鳥飼いさんいたらいいですね。
それいいかもしれませんね。
あすこは鳥好きの人が見ますね。^^
お盆ですけど、暇な人もいるでしょうし。
なんせ、松江の近くにいる人じゃないと、どうしようもないですね。
一応、ツイッターの方に一言入れて、場所も聞いてみるといいですね。
この白と黒の可愛い鳥の名前はハクセキレイっていうのか。
最近、よく見かけるようになったなと思って気になってたところだけど
まさか、あなたへのオススメで知ることになるとは思わなんだ。
しかし何故、この動画がオススメされたのか全くもって謎…。
羨ましい…
ハクセキレイって尻尾がぴこぴこしてて可愛い💕
オスとメスの見分け方はどこですか？
とりピヨ
冬はどちらも身体が灰色っぽくなるらしいですが、頭はオスが黒、メスは灰色らしいです。じっと見てると寄ってくることもありますよ。(^_^)

歩きがリズミカルで早い。
縄張り意識が、強い！バトルは、アスファルトの地面で。

*Also the breeding paste and its pigments and the sunflower seeds can attack the liver* if they are taken too much or for too long.
It is a cruel disease that progresses silently and, when its unexpected symptoms suddenly begin, they are imprecise, easily confused with other ailments, so the owners usually postpone the visit to the vet at a time already critical for the life of the bird (besides that not all vets are trained to recognize this elusive and misleading disease, even to administer lipotropic and regenerative liver protectors in curative doses, just in case it is that and not a supposed blow).

Finally, it is necessary to obtain and confirm the sufficient veterinary experience and have the serenity to determine in each case whether it is convenient to hasten to do and / or administer what medicine and in what dose, or if it is better not to do and let the situation evolve without medicating for the time being, or according to the medication that has already been administered.
And that a limp in a bird is not always an injury caused by a blow, but the symptom of a disease of some organ (usually the liver or an intestinal disease) that needs to be discovered and treated as soon as possible. When in doubt, change diet to one with the lowest possible fats (only birdseed, or birdseed with other low-fat seeds such as millet, chia, fresh fruits and vegetables) and administer lipotropic and regenerating liver protectors in curative doses immediately ... although nothing could foreshadow a fatal outcome. Acidcare also has protective properties of the intestinal mucosa and stimulants of the immune system. In doses according to the leaflet do not cause damage and will surely save the life of your bird (if it is not too late).
Hopefully these comments will be useful to save your pet birds from an absurd death and to keep them with a basic wellness.
No worries. This white wagtail is not a pet bird but wild one. She lives on her own and she seems to just drop by his garden as one of her breakfast places. We shouldn't forget that Japan bans people to keep any wild animals as pets except for certain predefined reasons. But thank you for your input.
この鳥は、警戒心がうすいですね。オラの近所のスーパーのたこ焼きやに
居ついてますわ。
これからのシーズンは、イソヒヨドリが楽しみでんな。
オスは、美しいブルーバードで、声も美声ですからね。
これが、また、警戒心がうすい鳥でんな。
知らない人は、Ｙｏｕｔｕｂｅで見てね。(笑)
イソヒヨドリは声も姿もきれいですね。うちに来るのはハクセキレイを追い払うのが玉にきずです。
ですか～、イソヒヨドリは少しデカいですからね。こいつは高所に
巣を造りますので、知り合いのマンションの玄関の上のメーター器に
巣を造ったようでして、間近で見れたみたいです。
警戒心うすいですね。
