Nestling birds

Naked or barely feathered baby birds or “nestlings” can be returned to their nest. (Your Scent scaring away mom is a myth!) If possible, returning to the nest is step one! If the nest is destroyed a nest can be made!

fledgling birds

All birds go through a stage when they are old enough to leave the nest but still learning to fly. If you find a bird that is feathered but not flying, try to determine if it is a fledgling! Parents are often out finding food so they can be alone for extended periods of time. IF the baby is uninjured, please watch it from a distance for 4-6 hours to see if mom and dad are returning to feed it.

Baby duck

If a duckling is found alone, it is extremely unlikely the mother will come back. This baby needs rescue.

baby owls

Baby Owls will sometimes fall out of their nest while mom is sleeping. This does not mean they are orphaned, try returning to the nest or a low branch in the tree it is under.

a warning about
neighborhood cats

Unfortunately we cannot save every bird from the possible prowling cat. If you know a neighbor who lets their cats roam, please talk to them and ask they keep their cats indoors if you have nesting songbirds!
