I Found a Baby Bird — Now What?

I Found a Baby Bird !! Now what?

A baby bird’s best chance for survival is its mother. If the bird has feathers and is safe from fire ants, cats, dogs and people, just watch it from a distance to see if the mother bird is still caring for the fledgling .

If the birdis a nestling ( has no or few feathers) and you know where the nest is, then put it back.

If you do not know where the nest is, then try making a substitute nest. Use a berry basket or other container, and line it with grass and hang from a nearby tree. Watch to see if the mama bird takes care of the baby bird within an hour.. If not, then call a wildlife rebilitator

If the bird is hurt or sick ( unable to flutter wings, bleeding, wings drooping, weak or shivering)….then call a wildlife rehabilitator.

DONATIONS

Each year the Tyler Audubon Society tries to raise all the money that we need to achieve our goals and our mission. We rely on donations from individuals like you to support local interests in city council meetings, sponsor educational programs, and finance our recreational events, which foster public awareness of the importance of preserving Texas natural resources.

Often what might seem like a small amount of money to some of us has a huge impact in our environment and makes a big difference in the quality of life of the residents of Smith and the surrounding counties.
