I Found A Baby Bird...Now What?

You've found a baby bird. Does it need help? What should you do? The Ustream Decorah Eagle mods made me aware of a flowchart to help answer your baby bird questions. Since we've been watching fledgling birds in our yard for the past week, I thought I would share it.

This particular flowchart was made by WildCare in San Rafael, California, but you can substitute the name of a local rehabilitation organization if you find a bird that needs care. If you don't know of an organization near you, try searching this website. You can look by location, browse a large list, or filter by animal:

By animal: http://www.wildliferehabber.org/an_disp_list.php
By zipcode and location: http://www.wildliferehabber.org/
By state: http://www.wildliferehabber.org/states.php

Thanks to WildCare for sharing this flowchart! Please pass it on!
