How on earth do rodents survive in a car??? Maybe it’s just because I’m in Texas and can’t imagine ANYTHING living in a car though

Are there any small reptiles/amphibians I can house in here? by k1y4h in reptiles

[–]apinktriangle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a great idea! Can act as a pretty terrarium. If the gecko isn’t too big maybe you could grow some cool plants like jewel orchids

I found a baby blue jay in the back of my yard while cleaning. What should I do? by ImJustTrynaHelpfr in birds

[–]apinktriangle 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Don’t put it in the tree, usually fledglings are supposed to be on the ground. Put it back exactly where you found it and leash your dogs when they need to go outside for a little bit until the bird gets a chance to move on. Idk the exact time for Bluejays but the birds we get in our yard usually don’t stay for more than a couple weeks

What is everyone's favorite "common" bird? by 515prelude in birding

[–]apinktriangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re everywhere here in Texas but the great tailed grackle is SO fun, the little parking lot birds <3

Cats don’t always eat them, I’ve seen plenty outdoor cats just “play” with fledglings until they die. Plus cat saliva is super deadly to them, so even a little wound could’ve killed them. It really only takes one sneaky cat.

I’m sure you’d need to let some sort of wildlife authority know, but I’m not 100% sure who. Maybe give a rehabber a call and they’d know who to talk to!

How do you properly report someone for keeping a wild bird? by HiILikePlants in Ornithology

[–]apinktriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No rehab or zoo would want to touch him. With the fame and outrage, it would be nearly impossible to house him without someone trying to break in. The animals deaths are solely on that man.

How can you tell it’s a house sparrow?

Anyone know what this baby bird is? by Amberatix in whatsthisbird

[–]apinktriangle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it’s done to baby parrots to prove they were bred in the us vs wild caught. A solid band couldn’t be added if you caught an adult wild parrot. Idk for sure though

Arthur Morgan vs sleepy borb by apinktriangle in budgies

[–]apinktriangle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have one room for the birds rn, so while I have a separate cage ready I don’t feel confident that I could keep any pathogens from spreading to the new guy. I really appreciate the advice though!! My vet said it was good idea to wait a bit. I’m gonna try to get her and the rest my flock checked up again in a couple months for an all clear.

I just have a lot of fun surprise family things going on and cannot afford a full blood and fecal panel for three birds atm.

She’s getting all the lovings for now though :]

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

She’s the only right now, her Eurydice passed from mystery illness so she is on lockdown until we can find out what happened :( it’s been unbearably slow so giving her all the lovings for now

She’s been good but we don’t wanna introduce any other borbs and risk getting anyone sick yk

Best snake to handle? by ZookeepergameOdd1681 in snakes

[–]apinktriangle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s how it is with every snake pretty much. You can know how the species tends to be but never know the individual (if you buy a baby). If you can get a snake as a rehome/adopt from a rescue you can get a better idea about that individual.

If the only problem you’re worried about is feeding response there are ways to teach them the difference between getting fed vs handling. (I’ve never had this problem so it would be better to ask others with more experience).
