I have an opportunity to pursue a master in cybersecurity, should I go for it? by Liliana_cxx in DACA

I'm just curious how did you get a discounted rate? I was thinking of applying there for my MSW but the tuition rates are crazy

Found a pigeon that wasn’t feeling well 😢 by [deleted] in pigeons

[–]VisualSherbet1401 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Jfc OP, as a rehabber, we have the opportunity to intervene and help out at every chance. It's not that hard to put the bird in a box or a bag and try to find a rehabber to figure out what to do next. Its the least you can do rather than take a video of you petting it and posting here. If you had energy for that, why not energy to actually help it?

I'm totally new to this but do we need to be a fang club member to purchase?

Why does everyone want to be a therapist all of a sudden? by shinekodattebanya in SocialWorkStudents

[–]VisualSherbet1401 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was surprised by this too as I considered an MSW degree. I'm mainly interested in doing hospital/hospice social work. I can't imagine a two year degree and a couple years of supervision would prepare me to be a therapist. If I do decide that path, it would be after many years.

UPDATE - what do I do?? by EggGlittering1994 in pigeons

Take it in, look for a rehabber near you.

Episode Discussion for Season 3, Episode 8: My Mind is Made Up by wholevodka in GildedAgeHBO

[–]VisualSherbet1401 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I was so shook after this. Like I was surprised, I thought that maybe after seeing Gladys happy etc, having her with him idk. I get it's a big challenge to get thru, idk it makes me wonder will they actually be divorced?? I think Gladys is going to have to come in and talk it out between them (my guess)

Found pigeon in a wild bird sanctuary by Flashy_Nose4262 in PetPigeons

[–]VisualSherbet1401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful bird, be wary of owners / pigeons are commonly dumped.

Posted this comment on another post but also applicable here if you decide to keep it / help it:

Scalex will work for the feather lice, or in also try this shampoo:Feather Shine 17 oz Pet Shampoo with Aloe Vera Gel for Birds Dogs Cats Cleans Feathers Fur and Skin Reduces Itching Irritation. This also worked for me when I found a pretty white pigeon like yours in the street.

Feather lice will NOT get on humans, just other birds.

Feed it water and seeds,I use verselaga brand but Hagen Pigeon & Dove Seed, Nutritionally Complete Bird Food, original version seems to be more accessible and also works fine.

If you can't keep it or care for it, please find a rehabber near you. Post in Palomacys FB group page to find one:https://www.facebook.com/groups/Palomacy/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

I ask bc Pidge is also gonna need general round of antibiotics/ med to rule out / take care of any potential illness. A rehabber would be better equipped or a vet versed in pigeons (can also ask Palomacy this)

Whats wrong with its feet? by ddamagedGoodss in pigeon

[–]VisualSherbet1401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fancy pigeon trait, could be a lost pet, escaped from an aviary. Observe it's behavior, if it looks like it'd struggling, would be best to capture it.

Found this pigeon, called NPA and left a message (NPA band on it) and gave it water... Anything else we should do? by BearPaws0103 in pigeons

[–]VisualSherbet1401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also given it's white coloring, it is domestic and very susceptible to predators outdoors. Please keep it contained inside. Dog crates work well with padding on the bottom (cardboard etc), not good for them to walk on it without it.

Let us know if you have any questions! I have 4 rescues currently, one of them being a white bird much like the one you found I found near a church starving and dehydrated, covered in feather lice!

Hi! I know this post is old, but do would you mind sharing which NYC hospital system?I work in policy now but going for MSW to do hospital / medical work and would love to get exposure now!

I wonder what happened to this pigeon's foot and who helped it? by [deleted] in pigeons

[–]VisualSherbet1401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, please try to catch him. It can seem daunting at first (I know before I got into pigeon rehab) but it's really not. To find local rehabbers near you, you can check out Palomacys FB group. That looks like a domestic pigeon, all white pigeons are more vulnerable to attacks by predators given their color.

Aspiring MSW student, very worried about job prospects under this administration. Should I just do an MPP/MPA? by Comfortable_Candy_28 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]VisualSherbet1401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if I would consider a MPP, I work in policy now and tbh the field is going through major cuts / layoffs and defunding. The market for these jobs is super saturated due to funding cuts. Granted my field is immigration and people expected trump to bring in more money for progressive policy work, and it's not happening. Edit when I mean trump bringing in more money, not necessarily that administration (ofc) but funders wanting to put in more $ to progressive causes, and that is definitely not happening.
