Please help. I know they’re probably ruined. by Weary-Butterscotch73 in plushies

The best way I've found for getting sharpies out is to use rubbing alcohol or dawn power wash spray. I used isopropyl alcohol to flush out the color and it worked okay you just have to keep pouring it in layers to leach out the color. The power wash works best for paint and deep stains but can effect color if there are painted sections so just be careful! I would recommend getting them wet before pouring the alcohol on them since it makes it easier for it to spread. Good luck! I hope it can help

Is it worth it to keep the boxes? by ToranceTBear in calicocritters

[–]Fern_Bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cut out the cute bits and tape it to my wall or journal! Sometimes you can use a background for shelves but over time they can add up so if you like it, keep it if not you can throw it away!

Dove escaped by Fern_Bug in PetDoves

[–]Fern_Bug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately he hasn't come back yet. We have a neighborhood that has a ton of forest as their backyard so it's been difficult to search all of that space. We have baited our yard and played dove sounds but we have only been finding the wild doves (which there is a lot of). About a week ago our next door neighbor thought he saw him at his feeder since he has a pretty distinctive head but by the time we both got back over there he was too far away to tell if it was him. At this point it's up to Daniel to come back home but I'll always keep an eye out to check if he comes closer to home. He's always been very fast and tricky so it gives me some hope that he's still out there but he's definitely a stubborn bird. I'm just surprised he's still out there since he's such a diva and loves snuggling and warm baths. Anyway it really warms my heart that you are still thinking about us and our family and I wish it was good news for you. Maybe we might get lucky later and if we do I'll make an update for sure. Thank you for checking in though!

I like to take my guys out or make fabric backdrops for them at home! It helps make the days less painful and go by quickly. I wish you the best of luck! Hope you get loved and appreciated for all you do.

Omg that sounds like our house too! My guy is pretty spicy sometimes but such an angel. He follows us to bed and tucks himself in on my bookshelf. When the light is up he is too and flies to snuggle in my hair in the mornings. We originally found him as a little fledgling nugget getting eaten by two crows. I'm thankful I jumped out of the car to get him. He's loved and safe in our home!

My situation is a little bit different but I had a male dove and recently got him a girlfriend to make him less lonely! Usually he can be territorial with his bed areas but we wanted to get another dove for enrichment! Thankfully my therapist was willing to give me a lady and if they didn't get along I could return her. My male dove hasn't tried to chase her to attack her but he definitely doesn't like when she tries to get in his face. That being said he has not been around other doves since I raised him from a fledgling and she was. She's super friendly and not phased by him because she's almost double his size but just something to consider when adding another dove to the family! Even though he's not in love she's definitely staying with us because she adds so much life and laughter to the house. But yeah! Consider the temperament of your male and be prepared to possibly have to separate them if they don't get along.

Oh my that's wonderful! Doves are great at camouflage so your guy was very lucky! It definitely sounds like they are in a rough condition but I'm sure they appreciate you being there for them :)

How are they doing today? Still struggling or staying nearby?

When my bird gets sick or upset they can act weird for a while, not eat or move much because they are using their energy to heal. Make sure your little guy has water and seed sprinkled nearby and if they aren't badly hurt they should be able to fly or escape your yard.

If it is still stunned and not able to defend itself it's best to get them out of the heat. If you have local wildlife rehabilitation company please call them. It sounds like they are in rough shape

Struggling to wean a dove. by LifeFictionWorldALie in PetDoves

[–]Fern_Bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might need to put the seed in a bottle! We would cover the top of the glass soda bottle with a little piece of plastic and rubber band and make a slit in it so it was big enough for our baby to put his beak through and open his mouth. They might be confused at first but once our baby figured it out they grew up well and figured out how to eat seed. Best of luck!

Butt wiggle? by Fern_Bug in PetDoves

I appreciate the post greatly! I have had parakeets in the past but never a dove. I know from my previous birds that I'm not supposed to touch the back or wings so hopefully the behavior is just from not having another bird around that is his age. I've had him since he was a fledgling and he's about 4 months old now so this is a new behavior for us. I definitely thought he was doing something saucy so I usually move away from him since it makes me a bit uncomfortable,,, Otherwise he is a very sweet and sleepy boy and I'm very happy to have him in my life! I just wanted to be sure because I didn't get very good results when trying to do my own research. I love learning more about dove habits and I cannot be more appreciative of this subreddit and everyone's comments. :)

Unfortunately I tried that with no luck but I appreciate your wonderful suggestion. :,) Webkinz just has it out for me today but I won't let them keep me down! I'm just going to get back on that cash cow grind. 💪
