๐ŸŒฟ Wildlife Rehabilitators Make a Difference! ๐ŸŒฟ

Did you know? In 2023 alone, Connecticut wildlife rehabilitators gave over 10,000 animals a second chance at life! ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿข This included:

๐Ÿฆ‰๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฆ… 5,375 birds
๐Ÿฟ๏ธ ๐Ÿฆฆ ๐Ÿ4,679 mammals

To the public finders, did you bring an animal to a rehabilitator this year? What species was it?

Today, we set out on an urgent call to rescue a bald eagle in Pomfret that had been electrocuted. Despite our efforts to reach the scene quickly, it was too lateโ€”the eagle had already passed. Itโ€™s always heartbreaking to see these magnificent birds fall victim to such tragedies.

This eagle was part of a larger story. Banding records from the Bird Banding Laboratory revealed it was banded as a chick in Massachusetts on May 29, 2008, when it was too young to fly. Its gender was unknown; however, from its post mortem weight we can surmise it was female.

While itโ€™s always heartbreaking to lose any animal, especially one as symbolic as a bald eagle, we take comfort in ensuring it will find purpose even after passing. The eagleโ€™s body will be prepared and shipped to the National Eagle Repository. This unique facility, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, plays a critical role in supporting Native American traditions by distributing eagle parts and feathers to members of federally recognized tribes. The Repository also works to educate on wildlife laws, raptor conservation, and the significance of eagle feathers in Native culture.

Itโ€™s a reminder of the complex intersections between wildlife, conservation, and cultural heritage. Fly high, noble eagle. ๐Ÿฆ…โœจ

Today the nicest man with the best of intentions found a flying squirrel rolling in the road. He decided to try to help it. The 1st thing he did was throw a Carmel nut bar in with it. The squirrel was so hungry he dove right in. Not only can feeding wildlife kill them if they are dehydrated cold or can aspirate this poor guy was covered in sticky Carmel & his eyes were stuck shut. He had all the food stuck to him. Wish him luck he is in really bad shape.
Perfect timing Sunny Kellner! Thanks for sharing! โค๏ธ

Our baby squirrels are growing up & moving out. Our 1st group of 4 have been released. They are still using their release cage as the safty zone as they acclimate.
The squirrels that were furless are now fully furred & in their release cage getting used to the area. They will be released in a week or so.
We open a small hole in the cage. They can come & go for as long as they need until they build their own nests. Predators can not get in.
We still support feed them as they acclimate. We could use some help doing that. We can use peanuts sunflower seeds, & pumpkin seeds to give them a meal during the day.
Please check out our Amazon wish list if you would like to help. There are other things on the we are in short supply of right now. Disposable gloves , paper towels & laundry detergent.
Any support would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for following & caring.

Sadly this is spot on. All I wanted to do is help people help wildlife to give them a 2nd chance at life. Each year it gets increasingly difficult. ๐Ÿ’”

Would-be wildlife rehabilitators in Connecticut face a hostile public and a lack of veterinary support, veteran rehabilitators say.

Won't be too long before they can go outside. Good thing too! They are extremely wild! As they should be.

Please write to any of the CT State Representatives on this extremely long list of names... and tell them that you support a BILL (HB5219)(ACC Standards for the Spraying of Herbicides Along Railroad Right of Ways as amended with LCO 4156) to BAN the USE and the SALE of SGARS statewide. SGARS or Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides are responsible for countless unintentional victims across the globe. These super lethal and toxic ingredients should not be allowed to be used ANYWHERE since they are so dangerous and there is no way to streamline these ingredients to target only one animal. Poisons kill all who ingest it... including non-targeted wildlife, household pets, and even small children.

This baby Great Horned Owlet died because of someone using SGARS instead of the many alternatives available. To learn more, visit our website under alternatives.

THIS LINK WILL BRING YOU TO THE
CT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Please take action on behalf of the countless victims that do not have a voice.

Squirrels are here! A family of 4 came in about 3wks ago. Their tree was taken down & home owner took them in instead of giving mom a chance to come back for them. Reuniting is always best. Moms will create new nests & move her babies in. They are thriving, starting to eat solid food & getting wild.
Then we got in an almost hairless baby girl. I have seen this a few times over the years. It seems to be a vitamin deficiency. We have corrected it in the past by a healthy diet & lots of leafy greens. This girl was being harassed by crows. She is terrified of us but will nurse on formula.
We could use support filling all their needs. If you would like to help their are many ways. We could use financial help to do the necessary repairs on their pre-release cage. You can go to PayPal & donate by putting in [email protected]. You can go to our Amazon Wish list. We can use mouse & rat rodent block, Applesauce & walnuts to make nutritious food. You can DM me & I will let you know what fresh foods we can use in the moment. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for following & caring โค๏ธ
