Author Topic: Franky, the injured american goldfinch  (Read 10397 times)

So I was playing Garrysmod with Pwoshi and Robo Noob, when my brother comes in with this tiny little golden bird in his hand saying "It was hobbling along the road with a broken wing."

So he leaves it with me to take care of. I was thinking I should let it go, but it's freakishly cold out and the cats in the forest near my house would devour the poor thing in seconds.

Anyone know what to do? Usual goldfinches eat micro-birdseed, but this little guy won't eat any. He's shaking alot right now. I have him in a shoebox.

What2do?

If it's a baby, it might not be able to eat without its mother or father.

He's a bit bigger than this.

Send him to the Galapagos Islands =D

Call Animal control and have them take it
Its not good for the animal if youre sheltering it
Also, the Goldfinch is my state bird :)

:D, I am probably going to when my parents get home.

Can I have it :D?

No :D

believe it or not, getting a goldfinch mama puppet and then giving it worms (to the baby) will make it eat most birds arent domesticated. basically get the mama puppet, feed it and try to hde a bit gold's are a bit smart

I'll throw together a sock-puppet.

He's sleeping now. :o

1. Don't tell him you Profile name

2. Don't put him in a shoebox, use something else

3. Don't pick him up


Maybe you should pad the bottom of the shoebox with rags or something, so he's comfy :D

Thats awesome. I wish I had one :(
