Spring is here - and so are the baby birds? Here's how to tell if they need help!

Precocial chicks, like ducks and masked lapwings (plovers), are independent from the start – they can feed themselves and usually don’t need our help.

Altricial chicks, like magpies, parrots, and noisy miners, need parental care until they're ready to leave the nest. If you spot a featherless chick with closed eyes, it may need help reuniting with its parents or nest.

Fledgling altricial birds are learning to fly and likely have watchful parents nearby, so give them space unless they're in danger.

If you are unsure, call WIRES on 1300 094 737 - otherwise, enjoy seeing the new birds settle into the season!

Spring is here once again! 🌸🐦

Read more about what to do if you find a baby bird, thanks to our friends at WIRES.

Remember to only intervene if the bird has little or no feathers, can’t be returned to the nest, or is injured, cold, or lethargic.
