What cleaning product should be used to clean up bird droppings?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 4 Comments

I have 25 finches in one large cage. I moved them recently to a different part of the house. And I noticed the wall that was behind the cage is now covered in bird droppings & stuck on seeds. What should I clean that with without thinning the paint behind it?
Thanks I will try the water soaked paper towel idea.

Do birds have teeth to eat their food?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 6 Comments

If they do, how do they eat seeds and hard stuff like nuts and fruit?
I was making a bird feeder for my house and I was wondering what kinds of foods I would put in. I was thinking about my hamster’s food, (seeds and almonds, corn, pieces of papaya, pinto beans) But then I thought "Do they have teeth?" So that’s why I asked this question.

Help finding the species of this bird?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 1 Comment

So our kitten has caught once again another birdy, but this time, i managed to get it away in time. This little bird is a little… actually quite shaken and wont open it’s eyes. Nothing seems to be broken and my kitten only pulled a few feathers. I think the bird will be fine. It’s not really moving much, it’s sorta just sitting in a small open box with some wood shavings for my hamster and it’s out in the barn on a high wooden beam so there isn’t much chance of another animal harming it. It can fly away any time it wants but it’s just sitting there.

I need help identifying this little birdy. I spent the past hour looking up the species but i cant find much.. It’s small, but not tiny, but it can fit in the palm of my hand…, it’s a dark gray color, more like black if you look at it from far, it has black eyes and black feet. I live in Hemmingford, in Quebec, if that helps.. i think I’ve seen others like this before so i don’t believe it’s a rare bird or anything. it hasn’t made any sound so i don’t quite know about that. We have a bird feeder out side the house so im sure it’s there every single day. My mum said it wont eat anything even if i give it any seeds or even bread..?
Do any of you have any idea’s as to what type of bird it might be?
Also, if there is anything I can do for this bird. Im letting you know now, im only 15 so im not about to jump in my parent’s car and drive who knows how far to find a vet that treats birds.. (I live on a farm an hour away from even a mall… imagine that!!)
So any tips or suggestions are welcome and thanks for your help!!!!

(PS, if any of you have a site where i can learn more about this bird., i’d appreciate it!)

Pet BlueJay, Have a couple Qs?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 2 Comments

I have a Pet Bluejay that I have had for a long time. He loves to eat fruits, mealworms, and seeds. He had his own cage that he sits o his perches and talks to me. I let him loose outside durring the day and he hops around and stuff. He only stays in the cage at night. He likes to play in the water. I wet the grass and he likes to cool down in it.

I AM RELEASING HIM WHEN HE GETS HIS FEATHERS IN AND IS ABLE TO FLY. BUT MAY GET LISCENS TO KEEP HIM BECAUSE HE IS SOO ATTCHED.
He could eat on own, he cracks open the seeds by himself.

I was wondering what else can he eat. Homemade treats for him. WHat are soime things around the house to intertain him. Or at stores.

He has a cage that is approx 16in(L)*13in(W)*24in(H). I found one that opens up at the top and you can put a perch on it. Its is pretty big its
19in(L)*14in(W)*32in(H).

1.) Toys that he can be intertained with? Around the house or at store?
2.) Treats he can have? Homemade or at stores?
3.) Should I get him the bigger cage?
4.) Anything else to add or able to give him or anything?

I ended up getting him from a kid who messed with the nest. I have taken care of other baby birds like robins and they were released in my back yard. They come say hi to me and get mealworms and stuff and then they are on there way.

He plays with his rings he has but One o them broke. I wanna try somthing diffeernt. He also has a mirror and he cracks me up and pecks at it thinking htere is another bird there.

Can You answer ALL my Qs PLEASE!
DONT say take him to rehaber, I know what im doing but wanna knw toys and stuff to keep him entertained at night or in the morning when im at school.

Bird feeders…………….?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 2 Comments

I want a wooden bird feeder that maybe the top comes off or rises so I can fill with seeds.I’ve tried a nearby craft store. They have ones that are basically decorative. I want an unfinished one so I can have my 2 yr old help me paint it. I tried The Home Depot & the lady said no. I know one can be built (didn’t really want to but I guess will if I have to).

I would like a simple one if it has to be built. Any good ideas how to go abt doing that or does anyone have any patterns to make one?

Thanks.

I want to make a cage for my thistle seed feeder, but I want the holes to only be big enough for goldfinches..?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 1 Comment

Ok, this is my situation. The reason I need a cage around the feeder, is so that the larger birds won’t hog all the seeds away from the goldfinches. I don’t mind that other small birds of that size can get in, I just wanna keep the house finches, sparrows, chickadees, etc. outta there. I know that the goldfinch is like 5 inches long, but none of the bird sites seem to report how tall they are upright (or how wide either). That’s why I don’t know how high or wide the holes in the cage should be. I live in an area where goldfinches inhabit year round, and I realize they would be brown right now, but if you can’t keep a supply of thistle seed, you’ll most likely never see them! So that’s where I am. If someone can give me exact numbers on the height & width of the holes in the cage I want to build, I will choose the first answer with those numbers as best, which will of course earn you 10 points.

My dog is going potty in the house suddenly after…..(warning: a bit long)?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 3 Comments

So about 2 months ago I adopted a 9 year old Min Pin. She was adjusting well and took to me and my boyfriend like glue. We never had any problems with her she has actually been the best dog. The previous owner told me she was crate trained and was used to sleeping in a crate from 7am – 3pm, well my hours are much less then that, but when I put her in the crate she fought like crazy and the entire 3 hours she was in there my neighbors told me she was shrieking none stop. So I tried leaving her out of the crate and she did fine no crying, no destruction, and no accidents.

The last week give or take a few days she has three accidents that I found one poop was all over my living rooms and yesterday she peed on my shirt. The other accident I do not think I can blame on her she got into my birds seeds and was not feeling well and her schedule was messed up but was after the first accident. I take her out at 8 am my boyfriend takes her out at 11am and 2pm I come home at 5pm and she gets about a 30-45 min walk and then depending on the weather we go out at 7pm and 9pm this is herschedule every day she eats at 10:15am and 8:15pm her food is homemade from a vet recipe reccomendation due to food allergies and takes prescibed vitamins. I also hae a 10 month old puppy who is crated but they are out together when some one is home both dogs play and get exercise.

It is not jealousy of having the other dog around because she came from a house with another dog and a baby and her and my dog hang around each other and play and sleep together. I just took her to the vet and they said everything was normal (this was after the bird seed chow down). Could it just be her old age? Or is it something else? I also do not think its terretorial because she keeps hiding the messes she is making. She is also confind with baby gate to the livingroom when and nothing is on the floor or in hear reach except dog toys, her crate, and her bed.
