You should feed the dang thing some Rat Poison. Damn pesky birds!!

I found him fallen from the tree in my garden. His mother and father cannot be found

they're being feed by the parent so they themself doesnt know how to eat

So the I tried feeding it worms i bought from a pet shop but I every time iput the worms into the bird mouth, He didn't swallow it but continue to open hismouth begging for food and the worm just crawled out. Is it that it is still too young to eat worms or it doesn't know how to?

try buying dry seeds (those soak in water will dissolve type n chicken's food) in bird shop and soak wif water. try feed it wif ice-cream stick. Very Happy

AjithFan SG

if i feed him worms and crickets, will he die.

stellazio SG

ok think of it like a normal bird..those bird shops u ask the uncle what do those young baby birds eat..

798 SG

it might hurt its intesticle cos of the moving worm.

anyway u must be prepared it might die anytime (perhap in the morning) since it was dropped down from its nest. must also depend its will power to live since it has lost its parents.

digicharat SG

nope. but that should be saved for when its much older.
now, baby just buy those bird food and soak in water like the above said. then roll them into something like egg roll and just push it down their throat will do.

798 SG

i think uncle might know. but it's getting quite dark now... at worse try to kill the worm n chop into small bits n feed the bird.

i heard can feed it wif boil egg too. make sure egg is cold.

AjithFan SG

ok i go and look for it.

AjithFan SG

i just give him fruits can? small bit

AjithFan SG

I will try looking for his parents and return him back... maybe tommrow morning or tonite they come back ..

starblue SG

birds usually eat their worms alive anyway. just make sure it swallow the worm loh...

and who's the one who said "intesticle"?? Laughing *cough*intestine*cough*

798 SG

dunno... but do your best to feed it. actually mynah is easy to take care comparing to other baby birds. last time i used to feed babies sun birds, 'chang kuay', crows, 'hua mei', hawks and others. Mr. Green

chang kuay is special cos it need a baby chick to keep it warm wif him. i remembered my father killed the chicken when it grew up and i was terrible upset and see the chang kuay was sad too.

ShrodingersCat SG

i fed mine small bits of papaya... you cut small small.. use the toothpick give him slowly..

can also try bread that's soaked a bit with milk or water

798 SG

confirm wif my dad, he said only chicken foods...

798 SG

Embarassed dunno how to spelt.

SMAPLionHeart SG

let it watch bollywood movies and join you and post nonsense in sgforums

mamamamama SG

intestine + testicle = intesticle?? Twisted Evil

Xcert SG

geez...couldnt the chicken be spared?
technically speaking...both the chang kuay and the chicken are pets...

798 SG

actually not so sure but i think chang kuay can be eaten too and it run very fast. it is black in colour.

anyone got any picture of this bird?

ditzy SG

Feed it a chicken drumstick. Laughing
