Don’t worryparent birds do not recognize their young by smell.
If you can find the nest (it may be well hidden), put the bird back as quickly as possible. If so, the nest is almost certainly nearby. However, you can still identify juvenile female cardinals from adult female cardinals as female adults have red crests. If the baby bird is sparsely feathered and not capable of hopping, walking, flitting, or gripping tightly to your finger, it’s a nestling. It’s tougher to identify juvenile female cardinals as these don’t grow the same intense red plumage as the males. Juvenile cardinals have gray-brown bills that turn orange over two to four months. At around the 1-year mark, young cardinals are nearly impossible to tell apart from adult cardinals. Juvenile feathers begin to molt around 2 to 4 months after hatching but won’t resemble adult plumage until that year’s winter. After a couple of weeks after fledging, juvenile cardinals are easy to identify from this crest, which is still a dull brown. However, juvenile cardinals still sport their distinctive crests, which develop in males and females from day 7 to 10. Their tails are short and may appear a faint rust-red, but otherwise, they’re pretty drab, and both the male and female lack red adult plumage. Photographer Michael Cassella captured this photo of a floofy young Great Horned Owl in fading sunlight, highlighting the streaked feathers and glowing yellow eyes of the chick. Some of these symptoms also mimic egg binding. A thick, black, tar-like texture might indicate digested blood in the stool. Egg yolk peritonitis Common / possible symptoms: Sudden death, loss of appetite/anorexia, weakness, depression, respiratory distress, lethargy, fluffed feathers, lack of vocalizations, yolk-colored droppings, swollen vent and/or abdomen (the swelling feels spongy to the touch), and ascites. If the poop contains either too much clear liquid urine or a lot of white, pasty uric acid, there could be a kidney problem. Abnormal bird poop may have a different texture or consistency. Juvenile cardinals are a light-brown color with fluffy undersides, breasts, and neck feathers. Feces makes up the rest of the dropping and is typically more solid. For example, the Pyrrhuloxia and Red-crested cardinals lack much of the red body feathers as the Vermillion and Northern cardinals. Juvenile cardinals also have fluffy chest and underside plumage.īaby Vermillion cardinals, Pyrrhuloxia (desert cardinal) and Red-crested cardinals are similar to the Northern cardinal, though they look different as they begin to molt and grow out their juvenile plumage. Juvenile cardinals look similar to adults in size and shape but lack red plumage until around November (some 6/7 months after the breeding season). The crest develops around 10 days to 2 weeks after hatching and is typically present before the emergence of red adult plumage. Juveniles molt away most of their first feathers in the wintertime, developing their brown and red adult plumage. These first feathers are called pin feathers.
