So I found two baby birds out of there nest and try to fly but can't yet but keep jumping out and I have animals around and I was afraid they were going to kill them so I'm taking care of them. One of the birds is less developed. It still has its baby fluff/feathers and some spots are bare. It's making a little clicking noise when it breathes and it shivers a lot. I'm afraid it might die. But im wondering why it's making the clicking sound when it breathes. I think it's shivering because it's cold or scared. Please help?
Answer
PUT IT BACK SO THAT IT'S PARENTS CAN FEED IT AND TEACH IT HOW TO FLY. If animals do eat it, that is the circle of life. MOM AND DAD bird feed the babies. It will die without proper feeding, and if you try to feed it incorrectly, you CAN DROWN IT. Put it back.

Dryer making noise...?
AntDU
My wife and I are buying our first home.
We went for a walk through and to show it off to our folks, and figured we would check things out. We ran the dryer and it made a thumping noise. It gets hot and seemingly spins fine, it is just loud.
When it stopped, it thumped louder and sounded as if the breaks were not working (that is the only way I know how to describe it). I asked the Realtor, he said it was lint build up or possibly worn bearing and it is not a big issue and it is an easy fix.
Well, I don't believe anybody trying to sell me something.
Anybody have an idea?
I am here to add detail if needed.
I know it did not have breaks, I was trying to describe the noise (lol).
I placed my jacket in the dryer to ensure it was getting warm. It did.
Answer
Someone is lying to you about lint being the cause of the thumping noise. It can plug up the vent, especially at the outside vent if that has a grid to keep small animals out, and if it gets thick, the dryer won't dry clothes. But it won't make any noise.
You didn't say if you opened the dryer door to make sure nothing was inside. We typically use some baby shoes to fluff up down-filled items we dry.
Assuming that the dryer was empty, the thumping sound could be something as simple as the rollers that the drum rests on. I believe it would get louder just before the drum stops turning when you shut it off.
These rollers are replaceable, and a good DIY'er can replace them. It requires removing the front panel (and probably pivoting the top back to get the front off--pull forward on the top sharply and then up) to get to the rollers. While you're inside, inspect the drive belt and replace if needed since it's easy to do while you have the front panel removed. Make a diagram of the belt and how it is routed. If the idler roller also seems to be in bad shape, replace that also.
If you're concerned about parts cost, get the model and serial number and make some calls or check online for the price of replacement parts. For now, just figure the rollers are all that needs replacement. If you're not handy, call a repairman, explain the situation, and get a rough estimate. Tell him (or her) that you won't hold them to the estimate since they didn't inspect the dryer, but that you're just trying to see if it is enough to be concerned about when buying the house.
This would be a good time to clean the lint out. You can get one of those long lint brushes wherever you can buy "as seen on TV" items, like Walgreens.
Also consider what the worst case scenario is. If you really like the house, would having to buy a dryer break the bank? You can get them used on Craigslist and sometimes even for free on a Freecycle list in your area. Newspapers always have good used ones for sale for $25 to $100 and even higher, depending on what features it has and how new it is.
People buy new dryers when they don't really need them, just to have a newer one. People are losing their homes and selling off their possessions before the move out. It won't cost a lot to replace the dryer if it's not worth repairing. You can find one if you look.
Best wishes on the house if it's what you really want. Just like marriage, it's best to accept things as they are and not dream of changing things, but at least with a house, you actually can change them, if it's really worth doing so. But when you make changes, don't expect to recoup everything you've invested.
