🌿 Found a Baby Bird? Here’s What to Do! 🐣 It’s that time of year when fledglings and nestlings start showing up in our yards—and it can be hard to tell if they need help or are just going through a natural stage of growing up. Before stepping in, it’s important to assess the situation carefully. We’re sharing two helpful flow charts to guide you: 🔹 The first is from the National Audubon Society—a fantastic resource to walk you through what to look for. Thank you, Audubon, for this clear and compassionate tool! 🔹 The second is from the book Healers of the Wild: People Who Care for Injured and Orphaned Wildlife by Shannon K. Jacobs (1997). Even decades later, its advice is still helpful and heartwarming. 📍 Local Note on Wildlife Rehab in the RGV: Currently, there are no wildlife rehabilitators operating in Hidalgo County, but there are a few in neighboring counties: two in Cameron and one in Zapata. You can find the full list of licensed rehabbers here: 👉 https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/rehab/list/ Texas Parks & Wildlife Wildlife Rehabilitators by County Thank you for caring about the wild birds in our community! 💚 Every act of awareness helps protect the beautiful wildlife we share our world with.
