Abbott would like everyone to know his favorite snack is grapes 🍇 nom nom nom

(Abbott came in with head trauma and has made a full recovery- but is not big enough to survive winter on his own yet so will be vacationing here over the winter)

SO IMPORTANT!

Wildlife are NOT fun little projects. The suffering I have seen from people doing this has jaded me for life.

Please never feed a wild baby- or ANY wild animal without training from a professional and stop anyone you see or hear who are about to try!

Advice from google, your friends/neighbors or random people on the internet is NOT sufficient and results in death or unnecessary suffering almost 100% of the time.

If you find wildlife in need, ONLY keep the animal warm and safe in a quiet area. No food or water. Then start calling rehabbers and leaving messages.

Sweet Mr. Abbott 💚

He came in with head trauma (most likely hit by a car) and was very lethargic, skinny, wobbly, & disoriented with some blood coming from his mouth. After a handful of days with good nutrition, hydration, and anti-inflammatories he made a full recovery.

Since it’s so late in the season and he is still pretty small, he will spend the winter getting spoiled here and be released in the spring.

Less work for you, and better for the environment. It’s a win/win. 🐝

Don’t threaten wildlife rehabbers like this.

It’s MONTHS of unpaid labor, intensive work, and out of pocket costs for us. We are not salivating over kidnapping healthy babies YOU put in danger and now refuse to try to reunite with their mother.

These people chopped down a tree with an active nest in it, and only tried “reuniting” for a few hours. And somehow I am to blame for their unethical practices. Do better.

This sweet male sparrow was found in a sticky trap and removed by the finder. Unfortunately he lost all of his tail feathers needed for flight.

Spent about a month here to grow his feathers back and has been released where he was found.

*Please never use sticky traps, and wait for a professional to remove animals from it- especially birds whose bones and feathers break very easily. You can rub dirt on all the sticky area to prevent further sticking if needed.

Best of luck buddy 💚

Living creatures are not fun DIY projects. Please never try to raise or feed a wild animal you find.

She told me she was laughed at by one company and hung up on by another. Deanna has been volunteering for us for months now and wanted to make sure any pest control company she hired didn’t use anticoagulant rodenticides. She witnessed first hand how our predator species suffer from eating poisoned prey and didn’t want to contribute to the problem.

Like many pest control companies, they denied that rat poison is affecting our wildlife. When I posted about our Salem hawk that has trouble clotting, a few pest control companies appeared in the comments accusing us of lying and making up this whole narrative.

Here is a picture of our Salem hawk while he was alive. Despite our best efforts, he did not survive.
Beside him are his bloodwork results. Positive for multiple types of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides…

Deanna eventually contacted Banner Pest Control, where she was treated fairly, her concerns were validated and her rodent problem was addressed- without harming the surrounding wildlife.

Don’t waste your time or money on pest control companies that care more about making a buck than they do about the damage they are doing to our environment.

A big thank you to Cape Ann Wildlife, Inc for helping us with this hawk. ❤️
