Hey Jill! Great video, and it's good seeing your buddy Brooke in this one. It's so cool that you could help out with that Woodpecker. Sad that it didn't make it, but you both gave it a chance. I didn't know that birds breathe through their bones. Looking forward to your next one!
Thanks for trying! You guys are awesome. If you don't have a vet tech near by, your State's Wildlife Dept may have a list of bird rehabers. The State I live in has a very short list of wild bird rehabers on the State's Dept of Environmental Protection website. One or two veterinarian offices are on the list too.
I rescued a a baby bird about a couple hours ago from my cat and this video is very helpful to make sure my baby friend is safe till morning when we can get Quinn to the vet we named it Quinn
I came home from school, and wanted to check out the bird feeder for deer tracks, as they were all over our yard. I walk into the backyard, and when I look at the bird feeder, there’s a bird stuck inside it! I ran over to help it, and it seemed really stressed, and it was tired and trying to escape. Luckily, I freed it, but it couldn’t fly. It ran under my porch and hid. I tried to give him some bird seed, but he hid underneath a piece of wood. I took a box, craved a large hole in it, and lined it with towels to keep it warm. It just snowed about a foot, and it’s cold out. I’ll definitely be trying to help it out! Thanks for the video!
Ohhh boy, try to give it some suet cake, that has fat in it, to help keep him warm, if he will eat it. Poor fella, keep me posted. and thanks for being awesome!
@@askavettech2057 He’s still outside, and I don’t think I can bring him in. I have a chaotic Lego that might just attack the poor bird, so this’ll be a challenge to keep him healthy
@@askavettech2057 it looks like the little dark-eyed junco is gone, but it’s dark out, so I can’t tell for sure. I left the suet cake out anyways, and I’m hoping he’ll be gone by the time tomorrow comes.
@@askavettech2057 my little Gus is very amazing and he also was born on my birthday so in march we will be together 9 years… Gus spent a month with me in the hospital a few months ago after a serious operation and because of him and my love for him I pulled through and by Gods grace…Everyone loves Gus …💕🐾🧸
Great video Jill ...just subscribed as per Brooke recommendation. ☺ Such an antiquated law though when we now have the knowledge to help indangered species
For once YT recommended something I'm interested in. Used to tech a loooong time ago. Subscribed to see what new things I can learn. I learned a ton about birds in this vid! Thank you!
Love this. I have been helping injured birds. Even of it's just taking them to a dark secure safe place to die. If they survive I let them go. I have as little contact with them as possible. I don't care about laws. I will try my best to help. I can't believe that woodpecker died. It's looked so strong 😢
@ktbkimber I'm assuming you didn't actually watch this video....beings that I recommend multiple times in this video that they need to go to a rehab.......... thanks for your comment- I also never said I was qualified to treat wildlife. Thanks for your comment
Great video Jill on caring for the woodpecker! I just took in a male cardinal who lost all his tailfeathers when attacked by a dog and can't fly. How can I care for him and keep him warm? He eats and drinks but that's all. I have him in my bathtub to keep my dogs away. No bird rehab close by. It's cold at night and I worry about him. Thanks for any advice.
Aww you are a sweet sole taking care of natures little animals! ❤️. Soo keeping him in your bath tube is not ideal, other than away from the dogs! I'd have to do the same prolly, or a cat carrier. But giving him some natural things to stand on, will help keep his feet in shape for when he is released 🤞! Also make sure you are giving him fresh water everyday, and seed with some kinds of fruits in them, like a suite cake with apples or something like that. The high fat will help keep him warm. I would not give him supplemental heat, because we are heading into winter and doing so could slow feather growth! you want them to grow as fast as they can! Remember Chickens often go through a molt this time of year in preparation for egg laying. I would think Cardinals do the same to some extent (I don't know if you have a male or female) But it can take a while for those tail feathers to grow back, if you are planning on keeping the bird until they grow back you should invest in an actual bird cage so it has room to learn to fly again with those new feathers. Hope this helps:) Best of luck to you!!!!
Just found your channel and your information is great . Thanks for sharing on all subjects . Can you do a video on the senior dog and strategies to help with your comfort . Specifically Home tricks to help with incontinence or eating softer food ….
Jill, my 80 lb, 10 yr old “ puppy dog” has gotten arthritis/having a bit of trouble walking. I’m medical/gave shots a trillion xs but never to a dog. Vet wants me to. Could you maybe show me how w/shot site on rear leg? I don’t want to hurt her. No rush. Tks
Thank you, Jill. I virtually met you on Brookes GITWz channel. Y’all were digging a well. Then I saw you, Brooke and the other ladies take what’d I’d call “ the polar challenge”.. think your swim was in like 40 degree water. Brrr! You are strong! Anyway, see you next time for vet advice! Tks!
What is the probability of injured birds surviving a predatorial encounter? Can they grow back their feathers or heal on their own if you give it a clean safe habour and nurishmemt?
I retrieved what I believe is a small finch from my cat, I immediately walked across the property to release it onto a tree only to find it's no longer flying and a wing may be broken. I have decided to try and nurse it back to health for my daughter who loves nature (aside from bugs). My two main concerns are that I have to keep it outside in the colder winter weather, however it's Florida so the temperature doesn't drop all that low. Secondly when handling said bird I noticed a faint minor blood spot on my hand, I don't think it's majorly life threatening but this is my first wild animal I'm trying to nurse back to health for release. Anyone have suggestions on what to do?
I love that you want to try to help this little bird! I hope that it will be ok, a broken wing can take a bit to heal, but as long it doesn't need to use the wing, and can keep it against the body, it should heal. I would get an enclosure built for him/her with some of its natural habit. And figure out what it eats. You can take a picture with your phone and Google search it so that you know what kind of bird it is. Keep the water changed every day.
0:22 literally what just happened caught family cat getting a bird not sure if it’s hurt it moved and stood upright when I checked on it but curled up in a ball and hasn’t moved for a while
why kill it if lethargic? In the wildlife rescue center they administer medication if there's a puncture wound from cat claws/teeth, to treat them, better do that from the beginning rather than do nothin, wait and then have to kill it later, right?
It is ok to hold dead birds bare handed, just wash your hands after carrying them. I am not sure who says that, but it could be because some birds have mites or lice and they could get on you, if the bird has been dead a long time it could have maggots inside it. But none of those are harmful as long as clean your hands.
Right!!! it is silly! But they have wildlife resources and rescues that are specifically trained in wildlife care. As Small and Large Animal Veterinary offices, we are bound to send them somewhere else. Like I said in the video, " some vets do treat them" I have worked at "some vets offices" Haha... Sometimes you just Gota help! That's what we do!!
@@askavettech2057 i watch girl in the woods and was searching for how to care for injured bird. I found a quail hit by car and left in safe place but not sure i i should go back and get him. Didnt expect to see Brooke. Quails have families so didnt want to take him out of area
Brooke is a good friend of mine, and she needed some advice. I think leaving it with its family is a good idea as well. You can either go check on it or let nature take its course.
I am happy they have a law to protect but it’s bologna that they don’t have places to help I have spent hours calling everywhere and it’s absolutely disgusting and ridiculous that there is no help I have a finch that is dying or sick or injured and I have no help
I am so so sorry you are going through this. I hate that there are not more places like that as well. Funding is the biggest reason they are so few and far between. Most take these animals and rely on grants to keep them with the money they need to provide treatments
Great video thanks. Some we think a dead actually recover at the bird rehab, and they xray so no extra pain. I use brown paper bags to transport teeny tiny birds, and have some folded down cardboard boxes ( do not take up space) in case we find a injured large bird. I do not know if true, but once I read the hard wire on a kennel might damage large bird wings/talons so should pad inside wire with styrofoam. A friend & I rescue songbirds when they migrate thru the city, birds hit the glass skyscrapers or fall to the cement, most do not survive impact. A youtube shows us in Newark NJ th-cam.com/video/kjxoV66pCcM/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/Awp3mupoRyo/w-d-xo.html of us picking up injured Warblers.

What is the probability of injured birds surviving a predatorial encounter? Can they grow back their feathers or heal on their own if you give it a clean safe habour and nurishmemt?
As long as they have a safe space and no internal organ damage they can recover an attack. Yes. it can take a few weeks of recovery though.
I love Woodies and love to watch them peck in the trees.
Me too!
I retrieved what I believe is a small finch from my cat, I immediately walked across the property to release it onto a tree only to find it's no longer flying and a wing may be broken.

I was told not to leave food or water for them because they choke from stress. Eating or drinking
@@AymiD-l8l thank you for the information
Should we take Quinn to the vet in the morning?
Yes if they can treat wild birds, if not find the closest wildlife rehabilitation center.
Well how did it go with Quinn??
Quinn died somehow Quinn got scared to death. Yep scared to death is like Quinn was in shock
By our cat, my sister left the door open on accident
Ohhh, I am so sorry for your loss.
Seems kind of crazy to me that these animals are "protected" but you can't take care of them to get better?

Awww your a wonderful human! Thanks for loving our feathered friends!
The new skyscrapers in NY use "fritted" windows that have decals and such that make them more visible to birds .
You say it's a female, yet you keep referring to it as "he", I don't get it
I messed up, human error it's a Female
Why did you tell us it was a female then keep calling it a he?
it was a mistake on my part, I have already addressed that comment- Sorry about that.
why do you keep calling her a he? You said it was a female.
human error...
