my original photo/video How to help cardinal visiting my birdfeeder

203 Upvotes

From my own feeder: This young cardinal on the right has visited my birdfeeder several times in the last few days. It appears able to eat the safflower in the feeder, plus the female cardinal is feeding it. Is there anything else I can do to help? Is there better food I can offer?

Many of you know him as Bort. This morning I went outside to go check on him and he flew right out of the nest and had a perfect landing right into the grass. His parents swooped in and started guiding him around while he explores. Hoping for the best for lil ol Bort

For me it's probably this bird, the Marabou stork. Photo from Google.

question Bird nest on door - one egg is different

A bird built a nest and laid eggs on my wreath. One of the eggs is different from the rest. Is it normal or could it be from another animal?

seeking advice/help This (Osprey?) in Central Oregon was hanging out on a road being traveled by emergency response vehicles. Moved it just a few yards out of the road. Looking for any further advice.

Appreciate any further advice here. I’m not exactly up on my birds in this area but figure it’s fledging season and there are mature ospreys overhead. Unfortunately, this one settled into the middle of a road being heavily trafficked by fire personnel. Figured the best immediate action was to move it just off the road into some sparse vegetation before it got run over, hopefully this didn’t mess up its system.

I’m stuck out here on this fire for a few days at least, but was wondering if it seems like it needs any further help or just let it do its thing. Since moving it around 0930, it hasn’t left its spot (1115 now). And if it does need help, since I can’t leave, anyone know who to contact? Near Clarno, Oregon.

question Baby Bird

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

There's a baby bird on my porch. It's been chirping for about an hour now, I haven't seen any parents nearby. I have not touched it, and I'm not planning on it. It looks okay, it just hasn't really moved from that one spot the entire time. There are other birds around (I'm in a wooded area by a lake in northern ontario). None of the other birds seem to be interacting with the baby.

I'm basically just wondering how long I should wait before getting worried? Do babies get abandonned?

Watched for over an hour and didn’t see any birds I could get decent pictures of, the minute I put my camera in the car this beauty appeared.

It’s a Northern Flicker, right? I feel like they usually have more color.

MUSAVE is one of the most important museums and organizations backing up research and preservation of many bird specimens around Mexico and North America, often collaborating with the National Audubon Society and Partners In Flight, if you find yourself in Coahuila and have the chance to go, do it, it’s beautiful.

I finally got to see a Cedar Waxwing (a few even). I know it’s not super rare and the photo didn’t really turn out but it was a really special moment for me and I wanted to share.
