Tamsin Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Last week i woke up to find muffin's baby dead,on closer inspection I felt his croup and felt something blocking it(I think it was the crust from bread), it really is a shame he was a lovely bird.

Diana1 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Sorry to hear this - how old was muffin's baby? Just goes to show that it is worthwhile soaking the bread. I remember as a child finding three dead thrush fledglings probably just about the age to leave the nest. Their guts were totally blocked with bread.

Tamsin Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Thankyou all sooooooooooooooo much for your kind words. The annoying thing is that I always soak the bread,but I think my Grandad gave them french bread and didnt soak it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana1 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Have you told your grandad I've been thinking about the insensitivity of my posting - basically telling you off for not soaking the bread - and it wasn't even you. Can muffin provide any more babies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamsin Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Claire you did make me laugh I will wait untill spring for chicks as its starting to get a bit cold for babies now,so I hope he will live upto his name again next spring .He can Certainly provide more babies I dont want to hurt my Grandads feelings as he wouldnt do it on Purpose but I will expain that if the bread doesnt get soaked it blocks the croup so hopefully he will soak the bread in the future.,but I thought he would have known as he use to keep chickens,so I should have told him when he asked if he could give it to them I know this is a bit of a winge but after he died my grandad said I noticed it was uncomfy with his croup,if he told me this before I could have massaged the bread down . Diana you were not to know,I would have said the same to someone else I should have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
