I found a baby crow this morning and now I’m starting a community group because of it
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share something that happened today that really got to me.
I was walking my dog this morning near the pond at my apartment complex and found a baby crow fledgling sitting on the ground. I stayed with it, made sure it was okay and moved it into a bush nearby while its parents were watching. Came back a few hours later and it was gone. One of the parents was just circling above cawing and looking for it and honestly it wrecked me.
Someone took it. That little bird could not even fly yet. And taking a crow is actually a federal offense under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act so I really hope whoever did it knows what they got themselves into.
Anyway it made me realize we kind of need a space for this stuff. I started a Facebook group called Cupertino’s Wildlife & Pet Community for anyone in Santa Clara County who cares about the animals around us. Lost pets, injured wildlife, local rehab resources, reporting mistreatment, all of it. Just a place where people who actually give a damn can come together.
If that sounds like you come join. And if you ever find injured wildlife in the area please do not keep it, just reach out and we can point you to the right resources
