It is getting close to the "season of the lost birds". Many inexperienced finders receive a lot of information from folks meaning no harm or they may even volunteer to take the bird off their hands. This causes delays in getting the birds care they need. While you may think they are fine, they look fine, or "they are so nice!", they are lost and need remedial care and a safe place (safe place refers to no predators, no car or house scents, etc) to be while the parents are located. So we are putting together our first stab at where the bird may be in stages based on how you find them. We started with the worst one first, on the ground. They have a very short amount of time to get them help. Try not to handle the bird once retrieved. Bird rescues are better options for birds rather than shelters.
