Just last night, this bird flew into my house. Well, it had a nest in my AC unit hole, so when I scattered its house just yesterday morning, when I got back in the evening, I realized a bird had fallen into my house through the hole.

Well, eating it is out of the picture . I support vegetarians but I eat meats not birds . Im thinking of keeping it as a pet, it’s been flying up and down in the house with no success of finding its way out, and thus weak and exhausted. I know birds are fragile and difficult to train. Should I keep it? Any idea the breed? Or what to feed it, Or I just let it go back to it’s habitat so we don’t stress eachother. Im confused. Help.

Im in a dilemma. help please.

Set it free. Unless it is injured and can't fly

That's a swift. Please, release it. I keep a lot of birds myself, and I've come to realize that most people that keep wild birds as pets just because they accidentally flew into thier houses end up not knowing how to take care of the birds. You're not prepared to keep it. You probably don't even know what it eats or the kind of cage it requires.

Going by the way the wings are spread out and the mouth open, it's extremely stressed and dehydrated. It's also a baby bird with poor flight skills. To help it, give it some water, keep it for a few minutes to rejuvenate and then release somewhere near the place you saw it hoping that it reconnects with the parents or others of its kind. Swifts are social birds.

You're a nice person for not killing it!

This bird is called swallow

Anoint the bird with anointing oil and prayers and then you are free to keep it as a pet

Beautiful Swallow.
It's a migratory bird. Checkout the body,there might be a tracking tag.
The specie mostly migrate from Italy to Nigeria and go back when the climate is conducive.
They can travel for months without perching.
Please release the bird if u can't feed it or if it's not wounded .

Leave it in the house till tomorrow and see what happens.

hope am not offensive, no intended. its just a petty talk, seem you take it so serious
I agree with wat you say, it should be ensured the bird is strong to fly on its own. After that it should be freed

albert2512:


He asked opinions about keeping it as a pet n I answered based on that sir.

That's a swallow

You can keep it for a while. Make sure you feed it. Cater to it. Love it. Protect it. And let it go when after few days.

What is the plantain doing there, sure you aren't planing something like peppersoup? 😁
Please that bird is less than 3weeks old.

That’ll make a nice pot of bird peppersoup.

Please release the poor bird back into the wild.
I don't want that poor bird to die for nothing.

Someone said the bird flew into his house, you said he should release it into the wild. Are you implying the OP is a wild animal living in the forest ?

That birdis a swallow it does not stand and it feeds only on insects look for a place to free it you have to throw it cause it can fly from the ground

BscHolder:
do you still have Sense?

Take it or leave it. Do not say I did not warn you

I don’t know the original name in English but we call it God bird in Benin. They build their nest in people homes. Traditionally we are not permitted to kill or eat it. Please release the bird, I believe it still learning how to fly.

that's a sparrow, they live in colony and breed in colony too they eat flying insects while in flight and can't normally fly back up if they fall or land on the ground they need a slight elevation to achieve that by diving off first or if you can throw it up for the boost.
Just check up more on swallows[color=#006600][/color]
