DO baby birds return to their nests after they begin flying?
stop "rescuing" those birds is the only suggestion you pick. toddler birds have been leaving the nest quite fortuitously for hundreds of years without the choose for human counsel. you think of you're assisting them and this makes you experience sturdy approximately your self yet surely they do no longer choose your help interior the slightest. in case you detect a fledgling chook which has maximum of its feather hopping around on the floor doubtless "abandoned" then merely pass away the chook by myself it does not choose your help it is meant to be out of the nest and has been making waiting for that day for a on a similar time as, it truthfully does not choose putting lower back interior the nest, what a waste of time. The discern birds won't come to it while you're around so pass away nicely by myself. they don't seem to be continuously the suited at flying and look slightly pathetic however the discern birds will look after them and feed them. maximum fledglings do no longer proceed to exist the 1st one year regrettably, they die from predation and lack of ability to locate food, for this reason the mothers and fathers have maximum of babies so possibly 2 out of 6 toddler birds proceed to exist from each and each grasp Nature is merciless yet this is the way it is, in basic terms the main effective proceed to exist to pass on their genes to the subsequent era and you need to no longer intrude in this technique.
Parakeet is bleeding from its wing after flying around cage wildly. What should I do?
If it was just a little blood but the bird seems fine now, it probably only cut itself, or damaged a feather that was still receiving blood; it's happened to me before and it's shocking to see blood on the cage (and the bird). But if the bird seems reluctant to use the wing, if the wing is drooping, held at an odd angle, or if the feathers are sticking out in a weird way then unfortunately the wing is probably broken. If the wing is broken, my advice to you is that you need to take it to the vet... you shouldn't try to set the bones as a budgie is tiny, will struggle, and you could end up just making things worse. BUT if the wing isn't set then chances are it won't heal properly, which would leave the bird crippled and possibly in pain for the rest of its life. If the wing is broken and you can't take it to the vet immediately, take an old (clean) sock, cut it so that you have a loop of material roughly the length of the bird's body (not counting head and tail), and try to slip it over the bird's body. This will hold the wings against the bird's body, preventing it from hurting itself further by using the wing. Even though it's "just a $20 parakeet" it is still YOUR bird and YOUR responsibility. I certainly hope that if it were a dog that had broken its leg you would take it to the vet and not just leave it the way it is because you can't afford it. If you really can't be bothered to care for your bird properly then you should probably give it to someone who can.
Can Pigeons learn to Talk?
Pigeons don't have any ability to mimic whatsoever but they can be very gentle and sweet pets! cockatiels can also be very gentle and sweet (they're like feathered teddy bears) but generally only the males will learn how to speak. If you keep repeating the same things to him daily - he'll pick up a few words and possibly even simple phrases. The other thing with pigeons is that they need a much larger cage as they don't have hooked bills to climb around their cages with. Ideally a cage would be the size of at least a medium dog crate with similar dimensions and a flat bottom. You can add a couple of perches (one high and one low) in there too. Cockatiels are much easier to accomodate for. Also keep in mind that cockatiels can be deafening (especially males) if noise is a concern for you.
The pigeons used to carry messages are called homing pigeons. These pigeons are particularly good at remembering where they live, and finding their way even when they’ve been transported tremendous distances away from it. If you want to be really sure your messages will get through, you’ll give the pigeons a few trial runs first, to make sure they know the way.You take the pigeons from their home, put them into cages, and transport them to your location. When you want to send a message, you strap it in a special lightweight case to the pigeon’s leg, and you let the pigeon go.It simply flies home, that’s all.Pigeons don’t fly anywhere else — only home.The advantage to a pigeon-borne message is that it’s unlikely to be intercepted, and the pigeon will head for home very fast — faster than a car could ever get there.The disadvantage is that pigeons can sometimes become lost, and they’re certainly prone to being picked off by predators. So, often, messages would be repeated with multiple birds, so that at least one pigeon would make it home.
Current flows in a loop[ which means the circuit is closed]. A bird sitting on a transmission line does not complete the circuit. If the same bird keeps one leg on one line and another leg (or any part of its body) on another line(or the neutral points), then it will get roasted.Consider this circuit where a bird sits on the wire:The values R1 and R2 are resistances of the line. Electricity takes the path of least resistance. The two legs of the bird which is perched on the same line does not complete the circuit. The R_Bird( resistance of the bird’s body) is much higher than that of the line, so the bird might not experience high current. The potential difference between the two legs of the bird is same( since the resistance of the line is the same throughout).The current flows on.The bird is safe.Now consider this scenario:A bird sitting on a line decides to fly away and raises the wings. With one wing touching the neighboring line and the leg on the first line, this creates a closed circuit. Thus electricity (following the path of least resistance) will detect a potential difference between the wing (which touches the other line) and the leg(which is placed on the first line). The current tries to take on that path creating a short-circuit. Eventually the bird gets zapped and falls off the line. Now the current will continue to flow on.The lesson we learn here is that when ever we play with electricity, make sure you (your body) does not close the circuit. When we poke our fingers into an electrical socket we get shocked because our body will offer a lower resistance . Thus a potential difference will be created between your finger and the feet( which is placed on the floor acting as a neutral point).
I strongly disagree.Humans are by nature explorers - we get a great deal of satisfaction from pushing open doors and finding out what’s on the other side. It’s in our DNA to do this.We also are on a fairly desperate hunt to find life beyond Earth - and sending people on a scientific expedition to Mars will teach us more about that in the first week than after 47 years of launching orbiters, probes and landers there.The pace of interest in STEM subjects increased rapidly with the Moon landings - and will likely do so with a future Mars landing.Even now - the efforts to design spacecraft to go to Mars is producing spin-off projects that are of value here on Earth…SpaceX’s intent to go to Mars is directly stimulating things like reusable rockets - reducing the cost-to-orbit and enabling things like the SpaceX global high speed Internet project - which will have an immediate and profound benefit for almost everyone on Earth.So, yes - I think we should do it.There is money behind doing it (both public through NASA and now, incredibly, private through SpaceX).There are more than enough people willing to go there (200,000 people applied to go on an essentially suicide mission to Mars in the “Mars One” project).The technology is at least plausible to get them there and back again.HOWEVER: I strongly do not believe that this will lead to a long-lived colony on Mars. The cost of going to Mars a few times (as we did with the Moon) is reasonable given the returns we’ll get. But the cost of maintaining a colony there would absolutely DWARF the cost of the ISS or the Antarctic research station at the South Pole…and those are already subjects of great monetary concern to the governments involved. A permanent Mars base would cost a thousand times more than either.
The wings of the aircraft generate an upward force called ‘Lift’ when the wing moves forward at any speed. The forward movement is generated by the power plant (engine) which generates a forward force called ‘Thrust’. A force opposing the Thrust, called ‘Drag’, is caused by the resistance offered by the whole aircraft to the air as it moves forward. As the aircraft accelerates on ground, the forward speed of the wings increases and the lift generated by the wings keeps increasing and ultimately increases beyond the total weight of the aircraft. This is when the aircraft takes off and climbs. In steady level flight, the lift produced by the wings is equal to the weight of the aircraft and the thrust of the engine equals the ‘Drag’. While the wing supports the entire weight of the aircraft, the horizontal tailplane allows the aircraft to be balanced in flight. The vertical fin at the tail of the aircraft gives the aircraft stability of direction. The aircraft is controlled in flight by the operation of ‘control surfaces’. These are called ‘Ailerons’ on the wings, ‘Elevators’ on the horizontal tail and ‘Rudder’ on the vertical tail. The Elevators on either side of the aircraft operate in sync and allow the aircraft nose to be raised or lowered, as desired by the pilot and this makes the aircraft climb for descend. The Ailerons operate in opposite direction to each other and therefore ‘roll’ the aircraft in one direction or the other. The ‘Rudder’ allows the aircraft to turn direction.
A baby hummingbird I have been feeding for a week suddenly seems to have lost motor skill. What should I do?
A bit over a week ago I found on the ground a baby hummingbird that was not completely feathered and could not fly. It was alert and seemed healthy. No nest found to put it back into. The first two days I fed it sugar water with an eye dropper. There is no animal rescue within 6 hours of me, I called all over southwest Missouri. I spoke to someone in St. Louis who suggested nektar plus. Couldn't find it anywhere. A local man said he had successfully raised a baby by grinding bugs and mixing them with sugar water and the animal rescue in St Louis said get a 3 cc syringe and tape it to the cage for him to self feed. Did all that and he seemed to do well. Grew more feathers, started doing small flying around the cage. Then on day eight, he suddenly was unable to perch for any length of time. Then he would sort of collapse with his head on the floor of the cage and his feet on the perch. Sometimes he would try to fly but could no longer coordinate and land where he wanted. He still manages to get to the syringe and eat, but that is about all. So the question is, what, if anything can I do? Or is he somehow damaged or unable to develope normally? Any suggestions would be appreciated, but don't bother suggesting vets, wildlife rescue or trained professionals, because I have already gone that route to no avail. One animal hospital initially said to let him die. That may be what happens to him, but not without me trying.
This unexpected happening took place today with one of my friend.She was at the Metro station, recharging her card, and something got stuck with the machine and she wasn't able to recharge.In the amidst of her struggle with the card and machine, two guys came over and rather than standing in the queue, they chose to stand next to her with not really good intention. One of the guy was on a phone call talking very loudly on her head(not exactly but very close),another one was waiting for my friend to finish her procedure(yep she was still struggling).She asked the loud guy to step a bit aside,but he ignored.After a while, she again asked her to step aside, and this time he started yelling at her, and suddenly he got physical and said - kahi nahi hatt raha main, Tu hatt jaa ab (I am going nowhere, you get lost) and pushed her away and threw her card on the floor.And got busy recharging his card.She was astound by this behaviour of his,for a moment she had no clue what had happened and started crying helplessly. But keeping herself strong, she went to one of the staff and told him the whole scenario( she was still crying), but the staff refused to help and ask her to go to someone else.There was one more staff in a police uniform came to her and listened the whole issue and came to those guys. And asked all three of them to come in the control room.When the policemen asked the guy why did you do this, he started blaming at her by saying- she was touching me , who the hell is she,bla-bla and shamelessly he was refusing his intolerance behaviour(I will cut the long story into short(not really)).One of the staff said we will clear this matter by checking the CCTV footage.And as the truth was shown in the footage, the loud guy was speechless, and was asked to apology.My friend was then asked to leave and she was damn scared. While she was leaving, the guy stopped her and shouted hey,what is your name and where do you live(such a shameless guy).Again she got afraid and left right away.This was something totally unexpected and I hope god give some sense to such nonsense people, to not hurt anyone without any reason.P.S :- That loud guy was an MBA.
