BIrd was perched atop a tree in my yard. It lloked like it had yellow wings, but it could have been a yellow strip along the side of the body from the cheek to beyond the hip joint. (is that what it is called?). I had never seen one before. The black was VERY black, yellow was brilliant. No white, NO grey. It was a medium sized bird, about 6-8 inches, maybe bigger, about the size of a catbird. Voice was distinct notes but not a song, just single notes that had a little bit of expression, but not much.
I hope this is enough info. I can’t find any black with yellow birds iin the books, only yellows with some black and other colors.
Thanks for helping me solve this mystery.
The Baltimore Oriole’s body is opposite in coloration — the breast is deep dark dark,very black black.
This sighting is in southern California.

Do white feathers fall from the wings of an angel or from a white bird?

Someone recently told me she found a white feather, and took this as the sign that an angel had visited to make things okay. I, ever the cynic, say it came from a white bird. What do you think? And have you heard this saying before?

Ok, my dog catches baby doves all da tim&I can never get to ehr fast enuf to get them out before dey die. So this time I grabbed her&da bird was still alive,&I got her to drop it&I put it in a box with some towels. I live in TX, I know where TWRC is, but my parents won’t drive out there. They say I got the bird, it’s my responsibility. So when I picked up da bird to put in da box, I gave a tiny look over, but I didnt want to hrut it, so I just looked it over quickly. It a baby mourning dove, the ones that are grown with their feathers, but still have da baldish faces and some baby down left. So it was flappign its wings&everything, and it doesn’t look 2 bad,&da box is small, so it was tryign to jump out of it. It doesn’t look that hurt, so I put it in my front yard under some bushes. I’m watchign for cats at teh moment, so it doesn’t get itself into another peril. It has it’s mouth open, like it’s panting,&it can walk&flap it’s wings, but i think one is broken. So what can I do?
Can I give it some water? Or bird seed? I woudl ahve to go buy some, so is there somethign else I can give it? My parents won’t take me anywhere, they don’t want anythign to do with it.
My brotehr went outside and said that he had made it all the way out into teh street. He was flappign both winsg really hard and tryign to fly, and he got up about an inch off the ground. My brotehr chased him back into the yard so he wouldn’t get hit by a car, so im not as worried now. I still need help though. It’s startign to get dark.
Ok, and now I looked out the window, and I ahd to go out there and save him because he was in the yard and this otehr dove was attackign him! he was all scrunched up on the ground and teh otehr dove was on top of him and peckign him between the shoulders. he lost some feathers and I went out there and the baby tried to fly away, and then the otehr dove acme back and swooped at him, while i was standign rigth there! it was acting very agressive, so i ahve these rocks piled agaisnt teh fence and i got the baby to go in there and i covered up the intrance with a towel, so he can breathe and still get out, but i don’t want him to get attacked again!
ok, well, i was trying to save room. Why does it matter what breed my dog is?! She’s a german shepherd/lab, if it’s so important! please, anything to help the bird! I’m scared for it!
Im going to try the eyedropper, but how can i get it to take it? its mouth isnt open anymore, do i open it myself? will it hrut if it bites me?
ok, well, now i foudn out that he’s bleeding. And he won’t take teh bread with milk in it.

I dont know what to do! There is a bird in our chimney and it has been there for a few days now. This happened last week as well and whta we did was just hold sheets up to the back door so it would fly out, and it did. But this time every time my dad is home it goes back up the chimney and stays there so we havnt been able to see it to llet it out. But I can see it right now! And I dont know what to do! No one can help me get it out for about 6 hours and I cant get it out myself. It looks like the wings are broke and it is now just staying where I can see it and it looks so helpless! I want to help it! Any ideas on how I can get it out safely? no stupid answerrs please!
We got it out and it is fine!

motors from their original position (as in this video) on the vertical stabilizers to the wings WITHOUT my permission (inventor, designer, engineer and supposed project manager!), thus preventing on-demand super-maneuverability and slow speed flight….while still allowing the super high-speed flight of the ORIGINAL design!

What is the yellow breasted bird in my backyard?

It has a yellow breast, yellow stripes on the wings and a little yellow tuft of feathers on its head. Very pretty, but I never saw it before last week and I think it is building a nest in my azaleas. I am in South Alabama.
