Save Me Sunday: Help! I found a baby bird!



Aw, I love Derek!! He always means well. We all do!

Do you know what to do if you find a baby bird?

It is currently baby bird season (spring and summer), so if you live in the city, country, suburbs, or anywhere in between, you are likely to come across a baby bird at some point.  They are so adorable and helpless-looking, if you're an animal lover like me, you will always want to scoop it up and help!

BUT SHOULD YOU?

Before you scoop up the baby, survey the situation and ask yourself a couple of questions (advice via my very good friends at the Wild Bird Fund):




OK so far so good. You've called a rehabilitator like the Wild Bird Fund who can be reached at T: 646-306-2862, and determined that yes this bird DOES need help, and you are just the person to do it!!  Now what??



You can download the PDF version of these tips and tricks for baby birds at the Wild Bird Fund site HERE.

I will definitely be posting more about bird (baby and adult) feeding, care, etc in the future!  Please let me know if you have questions. The Wild Bird Fund is an excellent resource, please check them out. Wonderful people doing amazing work in NYC and beyond!
