BABY MAMMAL OR BIRD

Please place the animal in a box with a soft warm cloth or blanket in the bottom, close the lid and keep it in a warm quiet environment. NO FOOD, NO WATER, then get to us ASAP.

​

SHOREBIRDS

If you find a shorebird, please call us and stay with the bird until we get there. We need an accurate address and a phone number to stay in communication. Additionally, a photo taken of the bird if possible.

NEVER feed a young pelican. They habituate very easily, making it hard to learn to be a pelican.
