Tried to search for whether or not you should own a bird in a one-bedroom apartment, but the only results i got were about the legality of it.

Honey, i dont care if it's legal, i want to know if i am torturing a bird by bringing it in!

On the left is when we first found Egwene and the right is a picture I took of her today :D

Poor Egwene had been on her own for at least two weeks, I don’t know if she was abandoned or escaped, but after a few weeks of looking no one stepped forward to claim her. With some help I built a giant loft for her and she looks so much better now. I really love her so much, and I’m so happy to have her <3

I’m going to post so many pictures of her lmao

so this yellowthroated warbler was scratching at the window at work today (ie 10 minutes ago) and I opened the door and she walked right in and she is SO friendly?? i grabbed her to try and give her water, she didnt drink but she fell asleep in my hand. I've tried giving her a box to be in and she won't have it, it's gotta be my hand. what am I supposed to do now???

she also can't seem to fly very far, which I'm not sure if it's something wrong witb her or if that's just how they are. i don't know much about birds in general. help.

BIRD PEOPLE HELP I NEED TO LOOK AFTER A PIGEON

He's unable to fly. His wing isn't broken - we suspect a muscle injury, but he just won't fly. We took him to the vet and they said we have two options. 1) Keep him overnight then take him to a wildlife rehab centre or 2) Keep him for several days until he's flying again.

Either way, he'll be staying with us overnight and I need advice from experienced people!!

He's in a wicker cat basket lined with a towel (it does not smell of cats, it's been almost a full year since we used it last). The cage is big enough for him to walk around and open his wings and I've put a bowl of bird seed and a shallow bowl of water in with him. The window is open so the room can remain cool and ventilated and we have ensured that no cats can get anywhere near him.

PLEASE tell me if there's anything I'm doing wrong or something I should be doing that I'm not, and any tips for a potential long-term stay would be GREAT.

We will keep him if we have to but I would much rather he go to a rehab. I will also try and get them to let us take him back here after recovery so he can go back into a familiar environment. We also suspect he has a mate nearby so releasing him anywhere else would not be great.

Other than a potential muscle injury and an old scab on his back, he has no visible injuries and no skin was broken. He was given a full health check from the vet and they've cleared him of anything serious.

If house chickens become one of the most common household pet birds (I can dream) I can promise that roosters will be sought out more often then hens tbh
