Hope your weekend is as exciting as this bird's weekend. This lucky ground dove came in with no injuries. He was good to go and he went.😂#FloridaWildlifeHospital #wildliferehab #RescueRehabRelease #wildliferelease #HelpWildlife #keepingwildlifewild
🪶Flying into the New Year!🪶
This clip is from our Great Horned Owl, Archer, training session. He was asked to fly to "perch" and then he is rewarded when he does so. This type of training is great cognitive enrichment for our education ambassadors.

Patient 24-7002 is a Lesser Scaup that was found on the beach unable to stand. Lesser Scaup's migrate south for the winter and we commonly see them very tired due to their long migration. Lesser Scaup's can go as far south as Central America! After 10 days of care, lots of rest and no signs of injury, this Lesser Scaup was on its way back to the wild.
In the video you can see one of our tubs in our CCU, these are used for wading bird patients.

Happy #NationalUglySweaterDay! During the winter our flying squirrel, Takoda, gets a space heater as well as an extra fleece blanket over his nest box. It looks like overnight he made himself the coziest nest. Hope you are all staying cozy as well!

Adult Bobcat Patient
Another facility recently transferred an adult female bobcat to FWH for extended rehabilitation care. The bobcat was found in the road and believed to have been hit by a vehicle. She showed signs of neurological issues due to the situation. FWH is closely monitoring her and will continue to do so as she heals. We are always happy to work with other organizations to find the best care for our local wildlife. 🐾Watch till the end and see her playing around with a tree branch in her enclosure.🐾 #FloridaWildlifeHospital #Bobcat #RescueRehabRelease #Bobcats #floridawildlife #wildliferehab #KeepingWildlifeWild
Another happy Freedom Friday video. We hope he learned a valuable lesson. Good luck little one. #FloridaWildlifeHospital #RescueRehabRelease #helpingwildlife #Floridawildlife #floridawildlife #freedomfriday
