Rescue Tips-- Do's and Don'ts

When to INTERVENE: Intervene if a nest has been blown out of a tree.  Pick it up, place it in a berry basket and tie the basket to the limb of the tree using heavy twine, or place it in a crotch of a tree. A baby has fallen from the nest.  Pick up the baby and return it to the nest.  Touching a baby bird will not keep the feathered parents away, but do not handle the baby a lot.  Their bones are very fragile.  Call the wildlife center for more advice on baby birds.
