house any local wildlife without the proper license. When finding injured or
orphaned wildlife call a rehabilitator for instructions, keep it warm, quiet,

§ To keep animals safe, put them in a cardboard box or even a brown paper bag.
§ If a young bird has fallen out of a nest, put it back. The parents will often return.
§ Don’t attempt to feed babies until you contact a rehabber and find out what kind of food they eat. Don’t try to force food or water down the bird’s throat.
§ If the nest has been destroyed, or must be moved, an empty hanging basket or a Cool Whip container (with holes in the bottom) will make a good substitute. Place the nest or nesting material in the container and put it as near as possible to the original location. The parents may well come back to it.
§ You needn’t be overly concerned about catching diseases from birds. Be sure to wash hands thoroughly after handling them. Pet birds may pick up diseases so don’t allow the wild ones to contact them.
