Wild bird in South Australia Pied Butcher bird. Sore swollen feet. Prefers to stand (on the side of) one foot. Now has swallowing problems. Fed dog food and occasionally grated cheese. Please help love Nicki x
Ideally, it should be examined by an experienced wildlife or avian veterinarian. The symptoms reported may be due to injury or infection on or around the feet. It may also be diet related. Dog food and cheese are not appropriate foods as these birds subsist on a diet of small prey, insects, fruits and vegetables. It is never recommended to feed wildlife as it can be detrimental to them and dangerous to you.

A week ago I filled my pigeon's food bowl with 4 types of seeds including wheat. I have been seeing bugs and insects in her place but could not recognise where they come from. Today I found out that those bugs and insects are present in my pigeon's f
They are probably grain mites and they will not harm her. I cannot tell you for sure without seeing what the bugs are myself. There are other bugs like weevils that may be the problem. I suggest you consult with someone locally that could probably help you better. Freezing your bird food should eliminate most of the insect problem. However, for some of those stubborn insects (like the weevils), actually freezing the food for at least 48 hours, removing from freezer for a couple of days and then refreezing for another 48 hours should do the job. Those little ant-like seed bugs are sometimes a littler harder to kill, and a second freezing usually gets any the first freeze missed.
