I own a white dove and she's staying with my aunt over at another country, when I last visited her, her left wing was bitten by the neighbours' dog, its bleeding and she can't fly properly, we don't have a vet in the area so how can I treat it?

(extra details)We leave our dove around the garden, she never flys away and she only eats from our birdfeeder so she's always walking around the yard, after she has been bitten she always stays inside her cage like never before(we use the cage as a pet voyager), please help me.

how can I treat the wound?

The chick is 2 weeks old and has been bred in an open aviary. The chick is not being neglected and is being well fed, but she is busy building a new nest.

I have a chicken egg that is possibly fertile. Whenver I look at it there's a very small dark spot and some faint lines on one side of it. I've been keeping it warm with an incubator I made, using a plastic box, towels, a heating pad and a small container of water for humidity.

I've only had the egg for two days, but I wonder...am I seeing things or is it really fertile?

what do you think?

If you are a bird owner, you must feed your birds more than just bloody seed!
I work in a pet shop, and come across this every day.
Small/large parrots need fruits and vegies breads, grains etc. Nectar feeders,Lorikeets etc need wet and dry food fruits vegies breads.
People need to do research before they want a bird
Our birds in our shop are given the highest of care, food wise and hygiene. They have fresh branches in their cages, newspaper on the cage floors with hay over it, fruits and vegetables, millet sprays, native flowers for nectar feeders, date scones, cor on cob to name a few. Come on people, how would u like to eat a dry weet bix every day and water for sometimes beiong 25 years, no wonder our birds are dying off like flys.
and yes i do have birds at home 2 lorikeets and 2 lovebirds inside and 2 12 foot aviaries outside its more of a 5 star hotel, they have their own vegi garden.

I live in the Midwest and there isn't an ocean near me. But when I am in big, open, outside parking lots, there seems to be a bunch of sea gulls flying around. How do they get there and why do they stick around? Do they think the reflection from the cars looks like the ocean or something?

Is there a safe way to clean hummingbird feeders and other such containers such as rabbit water bottles that provide you with no way to get to the inside of the bottle? I know these items need to be clean for the critters, but I have an awful time getting all the slime and mold that tends to quickly accumulate out. PS I do not have a diswasher.

I've had chickens for many years and often observe this behavior, but I've never found a scientific answer for why the hen does it. (I know the folklore about how she is so very proud of her accomplishment!) Sometimes the whole flock joins in to cackle along with her, even the roosters. It certainly lets me know I've got another egg for breakfast -- but what purpose would this serve in the wild? Wouldn't announcing the production of an egg attract predators to the nesting area? Or does the racket scare them away? Anybody know?

While vacationing in Central Wisconsin I found a baby bird floating in the lake, about 100 yards from shore. It is NOT a water bird. I picked it up and brought it inside, wrapped it in towels and dried it off. I didn't think it'd make it, but it's doing okay. It has all of its feathers but still cannot fly. I'm feeding it a combination of wet dog food, sow bugs, moths, crickets, maggots. The thing eats anything. My question is what kind of bird is it? I'm a seasoned bird watcher but this one has confounded me. It's about 4 inches, no tail feathers, charcoal grey back, grey belly. Beak is like a starling (not yellow though, just the shape). It constantly squawks. Non-stop, only at night when he puts his head under his wing to sleep does it stop squawking. Any ornithologists out there who can help me figure out what the heck this thing is?
