Hi Canonised and Mindfulness,

Thanks for your input and your sharing. Appreciate it!

Canonised, while I share your view about mynah and crows as pests, an injured and helpless chick needs help, no less, whatever they are. I just cannot bear to leave her to die, though we all know there are just too many of them and one gone would not make a world of difference. Thanks, any way for your little comfort that your message has brought.
 

Hoho its like a drama. I agree with Canised to a certain extend though. Allowing some of them to multiply unchecked means an upset to the balance of nature and food chain. But without them the food chain will be affected too. Comparing pests and scavengers to wildlife of gentle more sociable nature i personally feel that the bird come closer to understanding your gesture when you feed and nurse its wounds back to health more than a cockroach. If the bird were to live and fly away i am sure in its memory in life he will remember what you guys have done.
 

Hi Raymond, sorry to hear about the chick's death... and don't feel too bad about it... the important thing is that you tried bro ! and I admire you for that... :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

PS. Probably not due to the mealworms but other factors such as injury etc ?

Hi Micky,
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, the chick may have died due to other reasons beyond us.
Cheers!
 

It looked too sick/injured to survive. :cry::cry::cry:
 

Hi, just want to share some experience here :

Incase you found any sick animals and decided to take care of it, here is some advise for you :
- for food, just give eggs ( mix it first ) and use syringe (you may want to remove the needle part first) to force the animal to eat it.
Incase you dont have syringe, you can use water pistol also.
Like human, animals lost appetite during sickness, so even if it sound harsh, for the first 1-2 days you better force the animal to eat if they dont have any appetite at all.

- for water , you can also use syringe. Actually if they already eat mixed eggs, you dont really need to worried about water. mixed eggs = food + water. :)

- dont forget to clean the syringe after meal.


You can do this to almost any bird / cat / dog you found. Dont go confuse and seeking for worms, bean, etc - remember every seconds, counts!

Found a sick cat last time, and the veteranian advised me to do this.

Alas, my family decided to throw the cat without my permission. I only took care of him for 2 days only and actually he was much better than when I found it.

Hope this helps! :)
