Feeding Time For Small Birds


They are cute, they are funny and they are just like human offspring. 

These stunning photographs show the lives of warbler chicks and their relationships with their mother, but while they may be birds, they have striking resemblance to our own children. 

All day long they sit around, tweeting, waiting for mum who is on a constant battle to keep them stocked up with food.

The demanding warbler chicks can't fly yet so they perch precariously on tree branches waiting for their mum to bring delicious grubs and grasshoppers and there's much excitement when they arrive. 

The images display the incredible lengths the mother birds will go to in order to feed their hungry brood who are just days old.

The pictures, captured by photographer Octavianus Darmawan in Jakarta, Indonesia, show their incredible skill as they hover with the tasty treat and feed them in mid air. 

The 56-year-old said when he takes the pictures he can take anything from a few days to week to capture the perfect shot of the mother and her chicks together. 

He said: 'I take pictures to showcase the beauty of nature around me.

Fast food: The birds stand precariously on the thin branch as their mother comes and goes at great speed 

'I'm always impressed when I see the mother birds feeding their chicks because I can see how difficult it can be to find food and raise their kids. 

'They have to face dangers like snakes and cats and it can be a struggle but they work hard. 

'I became appreciative of my own parents after watching these birds and it made me thankful for the struggle they'd gone through to teach me and raise me well.'

How to Administer Medicine to a Bird


Medicine may be in the form of a medicated seed, powder, liquid, ointment, drops or injection. How themedicine is given and in what form depends on such factors as its type and palatability, the condition and temperament of the bird, and the owner’s temperament. Administering medication in the feed is inefficient but is easier for chose owners who do not wish to handle the bird.Administering Medicated Seed
  • Medicated seeds are available commercially. The success of medicated seeds depends on the condition of the bird. Seriously injured or sick birds usually do no teat or eat very little. Also, this type of medicine is only suitable for grain-eating birds, such as budgerigars, canaries and cockatoos.
Powders and Liquids in the Feed
  • This is not a good method, because the amount of medication taken by the laird is in proportion to the amount of food consumed, which. Are usually determinedly the medication’s palatability and the nature of the bird’s injury or illness? In effect, the bird may be overdosed or under dosed.
  • The powder can be made to stick to the seed lay coating the seed with vegetable oil before adding the medicated powder.
  • If the medicine is in liquid form, the seed can he soaked in the liquid overnight so that it is well impregnated before feeding the bird.
Powders and Liquids in the Drinking Water
  • The bird may be overdosed or under dosed according to the amount of water consumed. When using this method, make sure the bird is drinking the medicated water. The palatability of the water can be improved by adding glucose or honey.
Liquids by Eye Dropper of Syringe
  • This form of administration requires you to be able to catch and restrain the bird.
  • Hold the bird from behind, with the head between your thumb and index finger and the palm of your hand and remaining fingers enclosing the body, wings and legs.
  • Turn your hand over so that the bird’s head is tilted slightly backwards. This position will allow liquid from the eye dropper to run towards the back of the throat rather than towards the open mouth (beak).
  • Hold the eye dropper or syringe in the other hand, and move the tip of it towards the bird’s beak; the bird will automatically open the mouth to bite the tip.
  • Quickly dribble the liquid, a drop at a time, into the mouth. If the bird does not swallow, tilt the head back little more and dribble more liquid into the mouth. If you tilt the bird back too far and administer the liquid too quickly, the medicine may flow into the windpipe, causing the bird to splutter.
Crop Feeding
  • This is an efficient, professional method of administering liquid medication using a plastic tube oar metal crop needle attached to a syringe. Crop feeding should be left to your veterinarian or trained personnel, who have the required special knowledge and skill.
Administration by Injection
  • This is a route often taken by veterinarians. Injecting medication is quick, efficient and convenient and should be left to your veterinarian or trained personnel.
Administering Drops and Ointments
  • Eye drops. With the bird’s head held between your thumb and index finger, tilt the head tithe side so that the eye you are treating is uppermost. Holding the bottle of eye drops in your other hand, put one drop directly onto the eyeball. Keep the bird’s head tilted to the side for 20 seconds to prevent the eye drops rolling out and being wasted.
  • Eye ointment. Many eye ointments are manufactured to be solid at room temperature and to melt at body temperature. In applying these ointments, use the same technique as for administering eye drops. Avoid using excess ointment to prevent contaminating the feathers around the eye, which may lead to excessive preening and self-mutilation.
