Backyard Rehabbing

Bol

"Save some for Inky," the Roper children chant at meal times after their father found and brought home an abandoned baby crow. Two years later, their parents find an injured wild bird, take it to a wildlife rehabilitator, and begin the process of becoming rehabilitators themselves. What they find is that the most difficult part of rehabbing is not working with the birds. The public, who know little about wild birds, can hamper a bird's healing and even become a danger to their lives. ...a man saw an injured pigeon... "But I didn't touch it," the man said. "I didn't want to catch rabies." I explained to the man that rabies can be caught from...wild and domestic animals. Birds...cannot catch nor carry rabies. I then asked the man to pick up the bird and bring it to us in a covered box. "You want me to touch that bird?" the man asked...and hung up. An injured bird may need immediate attention from the person who found it, and that could be YOU! Suggestions are included as to how to help the birds.
