If you have a raccoon in or around your house, it’s best to assume there are babies too! We typically receive baby raccoons when there’s a situation with a "nuisance" mama raccoon in someone's house. The homeowner will relocate mom then days later the babies are discovered. The baby raccoons have been flowing in this week, so let’s help keep them with their mom this season by trying humane hazing techniques before you contact a pest control service.

Raccoons like dark, quiet locations to raise their young, so make your attic/ crawl space the opposite! You want to do this around dusk since raccoons are nocturnal.

💡🔦 Light it up! Spotlights, flashlights, strobe lights, work lights, use whatever you have! Set them up by the entrance/exit point or throughout your attic to ensure maximum annoyance.

🎙📣 Crank it up! Place a speaker or radio in or near the attic and turn it on as loud as you (and your neighbors) can tolerate. Rock music, talk radio, anything loud or with human voices will work.

If the mom is successfully annoyed, she will carry her babies one by one to a new location. It will probably take a full night or two, but she should come back for them all.

- If you're sure they have completely vacated, put up some hardware cloth or chicken wire to cover the entrance/exit hole until you can arrange a more permanent fix.

- If you're unsure if they've left, stuff some newspaper into the entrance/exit hole. Alternatively, tape one or two layers of paper covering it. If a few nights go by and it's undisturbed, then congrats! Your attic is now raccoon free and mom and babies can keep on living their best life!

📜✅ (If you do resort to a pest control service, ask them to double check for babies so they can at least be relocated together. Also ask to see the company’s state permit before you sign a contract to be sure they will actually be relocating the raccoons.)

Seriously be kind, and stop hurting and killing things.. you .

Can we be blunt? We’re gonna be blunt and maybe a little mean.

We get a lot of calls from people who, intentionally or otherwise, kill baby birds and their parents because they’re scared of them. This isn’t okay.

Songbirds are dedicated parents and— just as you would if a giant predator a thousand times your size kept hanging out next to your newborn’s crib— they’ll try to defend their young when we disturb them. This mostly involves simply swooping toward us. It’s usually a bluff attack that doesn’t actually make contact, because songbirds know they can’t win a fight against a human.

It’s unlikely that a songbird will actually make contact with your body, and it’s even less likely that it will actually hurt you. If a two-ounce bird brushes your scalp with its beak, you will probably barely feel it. Songbirds simply aren’t capable of seriously injuring humans.

If you have bird parents guarding a nest near your home or business, you have no choice but to tolerate them for a few weeks until the young are grown. Birds can’t find relocated nests and wildlife rehabilitators don’t have the resources or legal authority to take eggs or young simply because you don’t want them there. Removing a an active native bird’s nest is a federal crime.

Use the back door if you can. Hang out inside instead of on your porch for a couple of weeks. The lives of baby birds matter more than your very temporary inconvenience.

They actually make more of a mess it turns out. 😵‍💫

Join and support our efforts, please. We are just getting started but we will be their voice. Will you? https://www.change.org/HelpSaveAlabamaWildlife
All of these babies could have had a chance to be saved by wildlife rehabilitators. AL Dept of Conservation and Natural Resources said to put them in the woods and let nature take its course. Two of these babies were put in the woods and died a horrible death, most likely starved to death. The other finders had to research on their own how to get help. AL Dept of Conservation and Natural Resources DID NOT suggest rehabilitation. They simply said let nature take its course when contacted. Can you imagine what a horrible death that is? How is this Conservation? Thankfully the finders jumped through hoops on their own to find help. It SHOULD NOT be this difficult to help our wildlife.

Had to share, because I thought this was great!

Had to share, because I thought this was great!

Be that weird guy who pulled over and checked on the animal hit by a car, to see if it was still alive and in need of help.

Be the construction worker that left work early while his buddies laughed at him because he found an injured squirrel and wanted to get it to safety.

Be the irritating woman who wasn’t afraid to stop traffic because a mama duck was trying to cross the road with her babies.

Be the gross person who isn’t disgusted by a mangy fox and sees it as an animal that needs help from the right people.

Be the aggravating informant who tells the guy buying rat poison what is does to our local wildlife.

Be the uncool kid who stops his friends from trying to hurt a snake they found for fun.

When we start feeling bad or embarrassed for showing EMPATHY toward another and trying to SAVE A LIFE, then we have let the opinions of others mean WAY too much.

Never apologize for being a good and caring human being. There aren’t enough in this world.

Important information!

🚨IMPORTANT PSA! 🚨

Remember this post from spring? It's now squirrel fall birthing season and we are again seeing orphans being fed improperly. 😦

Can you spot the difference?
We posted about this earlier in the season, but as babies continue to flood our hospital, we thought everyone could use a reminder.

When humans see a baby animal in need, our nurturing instinct kicks in. We love that about our wildlife-loving community! However, as much as our hearts want to help, our best intentions can sometimes have unintended consequences.

The grey squirrels in this photo are the same age. So what’s the difference? The smaller squirrel was incorrectly fed domestic pet formula while the larger squirrel spent more time with his mom AND was provided with the proper squirrel diet by our trained staff and volunteers.

If you find an orphan that you think needs help:

⚠️DO NOT FEED THE ORPHAN! This can make our jobs MUCH harder and can even lead to the death of the very baby you’re trying to save.
🐿 Call your local wildlife rehabilitation center (sometimes “orphans” aren’t actually orphaned). Mom always knows how to raise her babies better than humans!
🐇 If the orphan really does need help, follow the rehabilitator’s advice on how to safely contain the baby (you can use a sock full of rice, microwaved for 30 seconds, and placed in the container for warmth).
🦨 Transport the baby to your closest rehab center (most rehab centers are admitting so many new patients right now, it helps if we can depend on our community to transport animals to us).

Bees 🐝 are so vital to us ♥️

Bees 🐝 are so vital to us ♥️

Did you know, those little bees you see in the evening sitting on flowers are old bees.
Old & sick bees don't return to the hive at the end of their day.
They spend the night on flowers, and if they have the chance to see another sunrise, they resume their activity by bringing pollen or nectar to the colony.
They do this sensing that the end is near.
No bee waits to die in the hive so as not to burden the others.
So, next time you see an old little bee sat upon a flower as the night closes in.....Thank the little bee for her life long service. 🐝

Please help when you can. ♥️
