r-studios Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 something odd happened today my mom woke me up (i was sleeping on the couch)and she said, "theres a baby bird in the road". Being us vegeterians n all we wanted to save it from being hit by a car. Most likely it was trying to learn to fly. We wer stuck with a major delima the mother was trying to attack us while we looked at the bird. And if we touched it to move it off the road the Mother might abbandon it. I decided not to do anything for if it died it was meant to. And it did it was hit by a car (i did not witness this) but my mom told me. After that i felt weird was there anything i could have done. I wanna know yur opion what would u have done what could have been done (being otakus and respecting things like this and knowing that lose lose situations like this come up in Anime) I wanna know tell me what u feel.:whoops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPGchick Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 awwwwww...*sniff *sniff...sooo sad. that is sooo sad. i dont know what i wouldve done, but most likely i wouldve jumped out there and grabbed it off the road. i dont really think about those kind of things before i do it. that reminds me of the time my dog caught a bird and i saved it, but it was dying and my dad put it in a box and shot it. i cried for like hours( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... r-studios Posted June 22, 2003 Author Share Posted June 22, 2003 it was either abandonment or death i dont know how to choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... KittyLynn Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 [SIZE=1][COLOR=dodgerblue]Well I have to deal with these situations everyday, being as my family takes in abandoned baby animals day after day and re introduce them into the wild. Well, you could've of done one of lots of things. You say that when you touch it, the mother might abandon it, well thats true, if you were ready, you could've picked up the bird and raised it yourself. Or, if you're weren't ready for the responsability, you could've stood near the bird and gently move it off the road with your foot and usually the bird would move by itself. (I've done this many times, it works) There are many other answers, but sadly it is too late. Too bad that bird couldn't have lived a long life. :( -KittyLynn.

My family and I were holidaying at Phillip Island one year (an island near Melbourne) and we came across a seagull on the beach...its wing was broken. And it was kind of being "harassed" by other birds and stuff. Clearly, if we'd left it, it would have died. At the very least, the tide would have come in and drowned it. So, I took a tea towel and carefully covered it...and put it in a cardboard box with a soft lining. We had actually planned to visit the Penguin Parade that night (which takes place on a beach with a wildlife center nearby). So, we took the box with the seagull in it...and when we bought tickets, we went to the wildlife hospital there and handed over the seagull to them. I'm guessing they probably put it down, because I doubt that they'd invest their time and money healing a seagull (considering that they're a dime a dozen at Phillip Island...as opposed to being endangered or something). But anyway, at the very least...we knew that they'd put it down peacefully. So I was comforted by the fact that, rather than being drowned...or eaten alive by something on the beach, the bird was at least in a quiet, warm place where it could die peacefully.

We called an animal place and they came ond got the duck.It's fine now!

Could you pick it up with gloves on and put it in the grass or by the tree that the nest is in? I heard that the mother would abandon it because it would smell the human scent. PS: If the gloves would work, and if you saw the nest and could reach it, then you could have just placed it back in its nest. I thought that is what someone did on a television show once and it was fine. Yes, they did use the gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathKnight Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 [color=crimson]I'm in the middle of this forest, so there are odd animal creatures strone about in different places. I was mowing the lawn, and something caught my eye to the right, something was moving. I looked down and behold- it was a baby bird. I had almost run it over [i]and[/i] stepped on it from the sheer height of the grass. However it appeared quite dead, because it wasnt moving a bit- but suddenly it just opened and closed its mouth, squirming to and fro slightly. I went inside and grabbed a generic napkin, nothing fancy, and picked the little bird inside. I glanced up this giant, 25 year old oak tree that towers above our lawn- and the nest was on one of the highest branches, and I could actually hear other baby birds. So I grabbed a large ladder and climbed as far as I could on it, and then began navigateing the branches intill I reached the nest. I rolled it out of the napkin into the nest, and carefully made my way back down. I'm guessing it survived, since I never found any random carcasses underneath it, and the nest itself was eventually destroyed [it was empty I believe] by a strong thunderstorm.

Guest Zeh Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Something like this happened to me last summer. A group of us were walking around, going to help out with a kids program, when i saw a small bird on the road. He (I think o_O) was hopping around, and cars were going over it. We thought we would be splattered with guts a few times. Learning from my mom, a bird lover, i knew it would fly away if it could. I ran out and picked it up, while a guy i know 'Dave' stopped the on-coming traffic. Across the street was an animal hospital, so we walked up to the crosswalk and went across. We gave the bird to the lady at the desk, and she said she knew who to call to take care of it. Then we left. If i were in your shoes, i'd of run over and picked it up in a small box. Then i'd lay the box down a little ways away from the road. (If the mother was with it, like you said, it would of been better.) Then i'd come back in an hour or so, and see if it was there or not. If not, then great, if so, i'd bring it to an animal shelter, or hospital, or vet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Mei Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 [color=green]Actually, I've learned from Animal Hospitals and experience that Human scent does NOT cause the mother bird to abandone her child. In fact, all you touching her baby does angry her a bit, but she would get over it.>> Anyways, this reminds me of my baby bird...B.B. It was like my best friend for at least a week. I took care of it and fed it, considering it was the only bird to survive from it's nest. (The other eggs fell out of the nest, which was sitting on our hose...holder...thingy.Oo) Well, moving on, I took care of B.B, feeding him/her(I'm assuming it was male), carrying him around, and helping it when it tried to fly.^^() B.B. seemed to enjoy a delicacy of smushed bugs and wet bread, which was very easy to feed to him after he was used to me. His mother still came by every day, feeding him other squished bugs and such, like she should, and keeping him warm at night.^^ I seemed to have formed a friendship with her, because she didn't mind me at all being near B.B, or her for that matter. Eventually, B.B. flew around the yard a bit, all the way to the wood pile in the back. He jumped onto a tree, where he appeared to be happy. I didn't want to bother him or move him, so I thought I would let him stay there for the night instead of his nest. The next morning, I went to check up on him. He wasn't in the tree, nor in his nest or around the yard, so I assumed his mother had helped him fly away overnight. I was horribly mistaken...as I continued to check the yard, I decided to check the woodpile again. I leaned over to see if he had jumped behind it...and that's...where he was... He lay there on the ground before me, dead...he had fallen out of the tree and appeared to have died in his sleep from the impact. I cried all day, and we buried him in the backyard. His mother never came back, or at least not for this little child. I still miss B.B....he was such a sweet little bird, so smart for a robin. I know though..it was his time to go, and I must..accept it. Back to your story, I personally believe you should have picked up the bird and left it in the yard. If the mother didn't come back to feed it, then take it to an animal shelter where they can care for it until it learned to fly. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, but you did what you thought was right, and that's what matters.^^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say->"Death comes only for the weak" no matter what you would have done. The bird's inner soul was to weak to survive...it had to be let go.

Like I say->"Death comes only for the weak" no matter what you would have done. The bird's inner soul was to weak to survive...it had to be let go. Don't linger on it's death...it was the right choice. Good luck on finding peace in your own soul. Stay strong..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subversive Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by RPGchick [/i] [B] i feel like it was my fault that that animal can no longer be with his family or in the wild.[/B][/QUOTE] If its going to live in the wild why should you help it. Wouldn't that make it kinda not wild. Besides while you typed that about 20 birds died, it just happens. I'm really not in a good mood right now, doesn't it show ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XeEmO Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I saw this thread when it was posted and I didn't really know what to say. I still don't, but to be honest I probably wouldn't have done anything. I would have probably just ignored it and assumed that it would have gotten out of the road or someone would have gotten it out of the road eventually.
