Help - bird trouble!

[MikkyB]

My flatmate's sodding cat has bought in a pair of chicks, both seem a similar type and both still seem capable of movement.

 

They have small feathers on some parts of their body, and two lines in a V shape running down their breast. They also have black eyes that arent opening and funky afro tufts!

 

Simply put, is there anything I can do for the poor fellas, and if not, whats the most humane way of putting them to rest - as I cant see them surviving without help!

It is 99% likely they will die of shock over night.

[MikkyB]

Its also 99% likely that the cat is going to get booted if I see it this evening! Ive put them in a tupperware box filled with tissues and left them somewhere warm, at least they won't die alone.

Eat the cat.

[mathew]

giv them back to the cat, afterall it was him who caught them so only fair

[Marco]

Get some worms out of your garden and feed them to the birds

It would only play with them, that's cruel.

[Chiefgroover]

They are still alive, being indoors usually kills birds overnight, fright etc, but if they are that young it wont make any difference, they may be fine, the worms idea is good, keep them down low in case they walk and fall off something. If the survive 24hrs they will most likely be fine, but you may have to wait a while until they are fit to be set free. Ask around of there are any local bird keepers, tropical birds and the like, they may take them.

Just got back from the shops and my flatmate threw them out in the rubbish outside . .

[Glosphil]

He threw them in the rubbish ? wtf?

 

Get them out then, and take them to an RSPCA rescue centre. They are living animals and as the owner of the cat, you have a duty... get on with it

[Pete]

Nice flat mate. Tell him from me he's a f'king wanker.

[Glosphil]

Nice flat mate. Tell him from me he's a f'king wanker.

 

Seconded

[Graham S]

Wtf??

 

Did he know they were still alive? What a heartless tit! I think as Glosphil said, call the RSPCA or a vet or something, or do a search on the net for some advice...

[Pete]

Nice flat mate. Tell him from me he's a f'king wanker.

 

Actually don't tell him that. Just kick him in the happy sack.

[Charlotte]

Or put a black bag over his head and throw him outside. Was that a bit too far?

Depends what floor they live on.

[MikkyB]

My flatmate is actually a 'she' and unfortunately we have those huge wheely bins with the roll back tops so despite my best efforts they are nowhere to be seen

 

Rest in peace little bird dudes . .

[hogmaw]

I can't believe anyone would just chuck them out just like that. Has she no compassion? What's she got to say for herself?

[Guest NINJYA]

Oh no - i would have had them.

Not good enough. Find them..... MURDERER

Sadly it's what cats do. I use to have a blackbird nest in the garden and with a pond I get loads of birds flocking in. That was until two new neighbours moved in with cats. The nest is gone and my garden is one big pussy magnet. I haven't seen any tits for ages even though I leave my nuts out. Too much pussy, not enough tits and need bigger nuts.

:d

In future if anyone finds a baby bird in need of help. simply mash up some white bread and milk and feed it with a syringe. leave in a box outside well covered and its mother of father will hear its calls.

 

Done it loads of times.

 

R,I,P little chicks.
