From one fur baby parent to another, my deepest condolences. I lost one of my two loving kitties in March this year unexpectedly, and something that helped me get through it was what a coworker had said: "No matter how long we have them in our lives, it's never long enough." Take solace in the fact that your gave your dog a life full of love and happiness no matter how long or little you were together, and that death is not good-bye forever. It's only for a little while.

[@armyofthedead5443]

@NatYourAverageNerd Thank you, and I'm also sorry for your loss. I'm glad you were able to get through. Having loving people to be there for you during hard times really helps. Unfortunately, I wish I could say the same. But when Bruno was sick, my boyfriend dumped me, and around the same time, my dad was told he has to be admitted to the hospital for a back surgery. A day before Bruno passed away, I called my ex because I needed him to help me through it, and he agreed, but then he ghosted me. Sorry for the rant, but I'm just angry 😅

​@@negritotenfoldwhat a strange question. Why?

[@bramble-nicky]

I was in floods of happy tears when I first saw that tiny heartbeat. ❤ The expressions on your face when you are caring for him is pure bliss. I've raised pigeons found in house attics and blown out of nests. Those first weeks are nerve-wracking. Thank you for being so caring xxx

[@bernadettecartin]

Good, then you will have experience. Isn't it better to have the formula in a container for the baby to insert its beak to drink? I read many years ago that pigeons actually make a substance in their crop that is the closest a bird can get to making milk, hence "pigeon milk," and that they feed their young by having them stick their beaks down the parents' throats to drink the "milk.". It always makes me so nervous to see him syringe feed the babies. I get that it's necessary, but wonder if it would have been easier for them both if the baby could have drunk the formula. I raised a mourning dove years ago. I put the formula in a pen cap. The dove would probe around with his beak until he found the spot, plunge the tip of his beak in, and gulp down the formula. He was eyes open when I found him, if that makes a difference.

[@bramble-nicky]

@bernadettecartin In my experience every baby bird had been a couple of days old at most and had to fed by opening their miniscule precious mouths. It can appear somewhat brutal to see but is a vital step for their survival. Gradually you have to thicken the mixture as the baby grows. I was always the most nervous when changing from liquid to solid seeds.

[@bernadettecartin]

@@bramble-nicky Thanks for your reply. Btw, I don't think it's brutal. It just looks so risky for aspiration pneumonia.

[@bernadettecartin]

@@bramble-nicky Also I thought I was clear but will specify I was only speaking of feeding pigeons/doves regarding letting them insert beak to drink. I've also done a couple of robins and had a chimney swift for a few days, and they were all gape-mouth feeders. Even a freshly hatched bird should be able to thrust its head up and gape so the parent can insert food. I'm guessing yours were too weak when found and needed to have their beaks opened to be fed until they got stronger?

[@bramble-nicky]

@@bernadettecartin Indeed the ones I cared for were too weak to keep their heads up for food. Currently I'm keeping an eye on a robin's nest. Thank you for being so caring with our tiny feathered friends xx

Today I found a sparrow nestling in our garden, completely naked, with closed eyes and covered in Ants. I saw that it was still alive and as I couldn't find the nest, I decided to bring it inside. This baby was barely alive, but because I follow your channel for some time now, I kind of just knew what to do and with a little research, love and help from my husband, we managed to bring it back to life. Now it wants food everytime I'm nearby and looks much fitter. I hope we get it through the night. I just want to thank you so much for your content. If I didn't know your channel, I probably didn't know what to do today, but you kind of encouraged me to to the right thing and make the right decisions in this situation. Looking forward to my first sleepless night caring for this tiny life. ❤

Also, a few years back I was at my grandparents pool and when I jumped in I saw something white in the skimmer box 😅 When I told my mom, carefully opened the skimmer box and found a bunny! At first we didn’t know what to do, but I thought it needed to be warmed up! So when my mom ran to get some towels, I blew on the little thing like you do! After the bunny fell asleep in my arms, we wrapped it in the towel and called a friend who looks after all sorts of rabbits and bunnies! We named the bunny marshmallow

With pigeons it always amazes me how something so... weird looking... can turn into something so beautiful. I have a pigeon pair nesting on my balcony for the first time this year (lived in the same apartment for 23 years). They've been sitting on two eggs for a littl over 24 hours now. I'm super excited to watch this whole process from up close. Henrietta (I actually saw her laying the first egg, so I know for sure who's who) is okay with me opening the balcony door and coming outside, if I have to (the nest is right next to the door in one of my planters). The male, Henry, is gone as soon as he sees me through the window of the closed door, lol. Well, he was before they started the incubation process, so I won't risk anything now. I will patiently wait until she's on the nest, to do whatever needs to be done outside. So far so good.
