How to Get a Bird Back When it Flies Away
(This applies to corvids, parrots, and some other birds.)
I have heard people say that if your bird flies away you'll never get it back, but if you know what to do parrots and corvids are some of the easiest birds to get back.
Here are a few ideas about what to do:
Watch direction of flight so even if it flies out of sight, you know what direction to start looking in. Depending on the type of bird and how frightened it is, the bird may fly miles before landing.
If a bird is frightened, it is likely to fly in a fairly straight line away from whatever upset it.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BIRD even if you have waited for hours below it and it hasn't flown down to you. If night falls, and you are unable to stay with the bird, make absolutely sure you are back before dawn when the bird will wake up. The bird is very likely to fly somewhere new at dawn, or start looking for you. I can't stress this enough: you need almost unreasonable amounts of patience. It may take your bird many hours (perhaps even days) to fly down to you, but don't lose hope. (If you don't know for sure where the bird is, make sure you start looking for it again at dawn.)
Have someone else go get treats to lure the bird down, or its cage if that is available. (If the bird likes its cage, that can act as a lure.)
Things you can do to prepare for this ahead of time:
Teach your bird to come to its name.
Teach it to fly down to you. ("Stepping up" and flying upwards to you are not equivalent to flying down. Flying down takes different skills.)
Record its calls, so you can replay them for it when it flies off. If you can't see the bird or the bird can't see you, you can replay the recordings to help call it to you.
If your bird has unclipped wings, but never flies because its wings were clipped so young that it doesn't know how, either keep its wings clipped or teach it to fly. Otherwise it may spontaneously fly off your shoulder when its outside and not know how to fly back to you.

I just witnessed two birds being Heimlich manoeuvred by a third bird and I can't find anything on the internet about this behaviour. The top had his wings wrapped around the bottom two, huddling them together, and he repeatedly got a little air then slammed the flat of his claw into their backs - both the bottom birds were noticeably spitting bits of food out their mouths with every hit. It didn't look like any bird sex I've seen but again, I cant find anything about birds practising the Heimlich on the net so if this is just the world we're living in lemme know, maybe they've always done this and I'm reading too much de lillo

So I heard the Carolina Wrens fussing and wondered what was wrong/if I needed to go shoo away a cat and uh nope
These two just are yelling at each other ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tumblr media
They were side by side just....fussing at each other 😂 (by the time I got my camera up the one had jumped to a better yelling position)
Idk maybe they're trying to yell at me to put more food in the feeder...or maybe they're arguing over whether food magically appears there or not? Who knows!
....aw now the one's just....dejectedly sitting there :(
Tumblr media
What happened friend? Did you loose the argument?

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.

Lovebirds are the prettiest parrots/parakeets, I really want some but I have no idea if I'll be able to handle it because all of the online resources lie about how birds are easy to care for. They aren't. I know they aren't. I'm gonna try to get a pair of these lil mango buggers at some point in the future, but in like, the way far away future. I always look it up online but all I get is stuff that's like "oh this bird is the easiest to take care of and a great low maintenance starter pet it's the perfect pet for beginners go get a bird with 0 prep" for every bird, and I know for a fact that birds are high maintenance. So for future reference, any lovebird owners out there, can you tell me what it's like with 0 sugarcoating? I want to make a safe choice for the birds because those poor little guys need proper love and care and I want to know wayyyy in advance if I'm capable of providing them with a healthy environment or what I need to look out for before I even think of getting one. (I really hope someone sees this because I don't trust the other parts of the internet. there's too much sugercoating around birds, it drives me insane when I have an actual question about pet care. This is why birds get passed around from home to home because nobody can care for them since it's way more work then they thought it was.)

Over Tea
A sudden chill sweeps through Gotham, almost like Mr. Freeze had just attacked only thing was the man was currently locked away in Arkham, and was felt by all. And talked by all via word of mouth and on social media as well.
The clouds and smog that covered their dark city shifted and swirled, a rumble beginning deep inside them as the weather turned from smoggy to rain and thunder with no real warning. The strangest thing was the green glow that could be seen when thunder rumbled inside the gray clouds.
Then like a candle being blown out, the rumbling stopped, the rain ended, and the clouds parted all over Gotham.
For the first time in a while Gotham had a clear sky and it felt... it felt like something heavy had been lifted off the city.
It was this sudden shift and the all felt chill that had set off alerts for Batman and his family. Since early morning since the first change and shift happened he was in front of the Batcomputer trying to narrow down where it started.
After hours of searching with the help of Red Robin, Oracle and strangely enough Red Hood, they managed to narrow down where the odd power had been coming from.
Was still coming from, only very low.
The old and abandoned observatory tower.
-x-x-
"More ecto-tea Lady Gotham?" Danny asked, his hand waving towards the steaming pot nearby.
The woman smiled lightly, her dark painted lips curling up to show her sharp fangs for a moment before saying "No but thank you Young Kingling though I would like more cookies if you don't mind. Now where were we?"
Danny nodded towards her and signaled towards a maid skeleton ghost who walked forward with a tray of cookies. The maid swiftly placed a few more cookies on the spirit embodiment of Gotham plate before bowing and stepping away.
"We were just about to discuss the sentience of the Court of Owls." Danny said as he lightly tapped the large almost mountain of paperwork on the table they were sitting at, floating high above the floor as shooting stars and planets drifted around them. Many ghosts floated around as well, servants that had sworn their loyalty to the Young King, and were preparing things like snacks and drinks for two powerful beings in the room as they discussed business. Nearby doors and windows though were ghostly knights that stood tall and alert, making sure no interlopers interrupted the meeting taking place and ready to defend not only Lady Gotham but their King.
"Ah yes them." Lady Gotham grimaced as she took a drink of her ecto-tea. "That will take some time for us to discuss, they've been running around unchecked for to long and even with my limited abilities to hinder them has been less than ideal."
"You, Lady G, were deeply cursed for many, many years and I just broke most of it." Danny cut in quickly, he was not about to let this wonderful and powerful city spirit blame herself for something out of her hands "Due to said curse you couldn't do much so please don't go blaming yourself. Its mostly broken now, so you can freely start healing yourself and your city self now that jerk demon that cursed you is in Walker's prison for his crimes."
Lady Gotham grew silent for a moment, her dark eyes staring deeply at the young King but then warmly smiled, well as warm as she could seeing how she was Gotham itself. "You reminded me of my Knight, Young King, treating me like this. Not afraid to point out the truth and facts."
Danny gave a light laugh as he took a hold of one of the cookies on his plate and gave a bite "I'll take that as a compliment Lady Gotham. Now about those Court of Owls...."
