I found a new born bulbul in a park and took it with me. I took care of it for about 3 weeks. It was all healthy and fine but one day I bathed it with water only and it suddenly became so sick and died within few hours. Was bathing the cause of its death?
Hi,
Wild birds that are found, should never be kept as pets. They need specialized diets. Bathing a bird is rarely needed, and it’s not ideal to soak a bird. As for why the bird died – it may have been the diet, or it got too chilled when it got wet or there was another problem. In the future, please return a wild bird to the nest, or if that isn’t possible, find a wildlife center to take the bird and raise it to be released back to the wild.
Take care,
Brenda
