Lovely pics!
I was hoping to get to Kruger when I was in SA many years ago but we ran out of time.

I'm going to try to post a picture for the first time on my new phone. This one is Joe's painting for us.and especially Yavonne ?View attachment 329281

Brilliant!
Joe is so talented, maybe he should send some to a greeting card company and get paid for his work.

Good morning/afternoon all.
It's a scorcher here!
Lola has been out and had a soak in his outdoor tub, but I think it was too hot for him so he's in come back inside now.
Definitely too hot for me so I'll be staying in again.
Hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday.

I am helping a little bird that seems to be asking me for something? Or telling me something? He comes every day and yaps at me!? When I look at him it looks like his mouth stays open? Never closes. Even when he is done talking. Does that mean something? Thirst? Hunger? Gonna bite me? He won’t come inside but I wouldn't know what to do if he did?
So for now, I am giving him water and food.
He may be dehydrated?
I know when dogs pant they need water because they don’t sweat.. but birds?
I’ll take your advice (if ya have some?) ?

What kind of bird is it?

☹️ It’s supposed to be accessible with the link. I will revert to plan B

 

[JoesMum]

Needs must. This should work

No, let's wait and see. I've "requested access" and they say they'll send me an email letting me know if it's ok to share

He sells art and products from them on a regular basis. It's hard to get him to understand the concept that he could sell a lot through his own business featuring his art. We've tried. He is working part time at a McDonald's because he wants to work for a paycheck. It's the old saying that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.?

I had to request access through an email to the owner. Whatever that means. And also grant access to my contacts which I did.?

Wonderful ????.

I don't know what that means. I've always seen birds do that too but I'm not sure why. I'm thinking it's a way to cool off. But if you maybe have a shallow dish of water for a bath out too. I keep terracotta plant saucers out plus a hanging bird bath for water. I think he talks to you because you're helping with food and water. I've had young sparrows get so comfortable they would take food from my hand. I just worry that I'll make them too tame so I quit doing that if they are healthy.

We do have to be licensed to handle certain animals. It’s not quite an “anyone can do it” set up. And we have a fully equipped vet room with secure meds cupboard, x ray equipment, anaesthesia equipment, etc. We don’t just make it up as we go along

I am so sorry JoesMum that you thought I was talking about your place of business!!
Noooo!!!!
On the video a man said that in England people are allowed to take care of wild life in their own back yards. That if they see an injured animal they are allowed to care for it themselves. Over here in the states I guess you need to be “licensed” to care for … say a deer or an owl..?
I meant no disrespect to YOUR facility!!!
I know you have a doctors office type of building where there are many very helpful and needful machines.
You and your team are one in a million for the work you have accomplished.

What kind of bird is it?

I WISH I knew..
Maybe I could describe it or try to get a picture.? I would love to get an answer.
There are actually two now.
One is small and a weird colored light brown (like a paper bag) and his song is like a symphony! It’s gorgeous but looonnggg.
The other is I think black on top and a white under belly? He just chirps but a lot! And his mouth stays open when he is quiet?
Sick? Dehydrated?
I will try my best to get a picture ASAP.
If anyone would know what kind of birds these are, it would be you guys.??
I looked up NJ birds but I didn’t see these ones…

I don’t know if it works in the USA, but I have an app called BirdNet on my phone. You let it listen to the bird call, select a portion of what is recorded and press the Analyse button. It’s really good at identifying what is making the sound.

A little phone video posted on here might help me to work out what’s going on too
