Out walking my dog in New Mexico and she started sniffing something. It’s a baby bird! It breathes and moves its head, but didn’t even try to get away from her. What do I do??
There’s cats in my complex, so I don’t think it’ll survive the night on the ground like this
Located in NC. I am not familiar with bunnies. I've never seen such a small baby bun in my life. My dog grabbed this one today after trying to play with it. She did drop it when I told her to. It is unharmed thank GOD. I left it alone for roughly three hours where she dropped it and went out to check to see if it moved. It was still in the same spot & burrowed in the grass. I can't leave it in my yard bc of the dogs and the lawn mower. I picked it up and put it in a bucket with a towel. Should I move it to another location? Will it be okay on its own at this age? Its eyes are open and it hops around a little but doesn't make it very far. Thank you for your help!
I made a post previously on this. Put it on other subs. THIS IS A WILD BIRD. NOT MY PET.
But, I haven’t gotten too many answers.
I have a starling with a potential RI, it’s coughing and sneezing in spurts a little too frequently throughout the day and night.
As you can see from the video though, it acts fine.
I found its best and siblings destroyed by rats in NYC. This was the only one that survived.
I’ve called almost every vet and rehabber in my area. All have declined care due to starlings being an invasive species here.
I did find an emergency vet that would take the bird in, but it’s incredibly expensive and I’m not sure it’s my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I could give antibiotics with very precise dosing? Or other non medicating related methods to help him out?
Just happened upon three baby squirrels at the base of a tree with their mother lying dead next to it. No rehabilitaters or sanctuaries or even animal control will pick up the phone, does anyone have any connects/insight as to what I should do? Much appreciated
Does anyone know if this is a grey fox or coyote? Was turned into game and fish in Arkansas and we are having mixed opinions.
I never think twice about seeing fledglings and I always ignore them...or help them off the major road by my house. But today, I saw someone releaseing something into the grass in the lot by my house. She had a box with cloth in it and nitrile gloves. I was curious but didn't ask about it. 2 hours later and maybe 2-3 meters from where she released something there's a fledgling robin in the middle of the road. I go to move him onto the grass and I've been watching him but I don't see parents around. He followed 2 starlings and a passing robin ignored him. It's been maybe 2 hours and no sign of parents. I'm concerned someone released him and parents are no longer around. Should I pick him up and get him to a rescue? It's turning dark now.
My brother found this mallard on his work boat with a few eggs but basically no nest. He hasn’t moved them but he does have to use the boat so he has been driving it with the mother and eggs still inside. What is the best recommendation for how to relocate them or make them safer? I’m worried they are going to crack :(
My MIL found a small bunny behind a house and she managed to get it fenced in, just in case it turns out to be a dumped baby. Anyone have any suggestions? Upstate NY
Hey! So this kitty has been coming to my door everyday for the past week! I know I shouldn’t have, but I left a treat out for it because I could tell she was hungry, and had recently had a litter! She keeps coming back, she’s coming very close to me now, however I have been careful and not put myself in any position to be bit by her, and I have not touched her. Ideally, I would love to be able to take her to the shelter to be spayed, and possibly get her kittens fixed as well. What is the proper way to handle these kitties? Trap spay release or rehome?
Yesterday I found a bunch of newly hatched baby birds on the ground by this pipe and I thought I should leave them alone. They all died the next day. But this bird wasn’t there yesterday so it must’ve just hatched today but it looks weird. I don’t want it to die. Is there anything I can do? I live in near York, Pennsylvania.
I accidentally deleted my earlier post… this female cardinal started banging into my kitchen window yesterday. I posted here asking if she needs help and learned she’s probably attacking her reflection to protect her nest.
She started again at about 5:30 this morning. I don’t mind that she’s doing it, but I’m afraid she’s going to get hurt.
The window screens are on the inside, so I drew on the outside of the windows with bar soap to try to break up or block her reflection, but that doesn’t seem to have made any difference.
Any ideas?
This baby has dropped in my balcony, parents have abandoned it and the nest is destroyed. What to do??

Hi everyone. I realize this is one of the dumbest things ever, but I am unfortunately being serious.
About a year ago, my sister and I were trying to get an armadillo out of a hole because my parents’ guard dog was trying to kill it. In our infinite wisdom, we remembered seeing somewhere (possibly Ice Age?) that water could flush animals out of burrows.
Well. It did come out, but unresponsive.
I felt horrible and panic-attempted rescue breathing/CPR on the armadillo before my brain caught up to the fact that armadillos are one of the few animals associated with Leprosy.
There were no bites or scratches, but definitely close contact with saliva/secretions. At the time I kind of shoved the memory into the back of my brain and moved on with life.
Fast forward to now: I casually mentioned this story to my fiancé and he reacted like I personally tried to French kiss the Black Plague. So now I’m here asking people who actually know wildlife:
Was this a genuinely concerning exposure, or just a wildly regrettable but statistically unlikely life event?
I know Hansen’s disease can have a very long incubation period, which is why my brain has now decided this is suddenly relevant again a year later.
Please be kind. I have already accepted that “armadillo CPR” was not a medically recommended activity.
Im out west so the closest one is over half an hour. However they won’t pick up and the other close one is closed. All others will be closed within the time it’ll take for me to get there. I found a very soggy dark eyed junco and even after getting him dry and warm he’s sitting funny. Didn’t seem to be flying well and he was easy to catch. I moved him out of the bucket into an empty horse supplement can with holes punched in the lid. I plan to put him in an old reptile tank for the night and drive him out to a rehabber tomorrow when I go to get feed. Anything I can do for the little guy over night? I believe I have wild bird food but worst case I have some chicken feed/cracked corn. Would anyone take him today? I know I’m not equipped to take care of him but I don’t think I can get him to a rehabber tonight.
Bird has sadly passed, warm dry and cared for at the very least
There are 2 babies in the white circular newspaper tube. One baby is outside the slot but you can see her in the photo (left side). I don’t know how she’s alone. Should I move her with the others?
Only asking because yesterday or the day before there were three others that are bigger and all flew away when I walked outside. I just noticed this little pop his head up and look at me. I haven't seen the parents in a day or two, so just want to make sure this might be normal.
I’m trying to find care for a baby bunny that has been injured. He is still VERY lively and has a chance at survival if he can be rehabilitated. All the places we called (NE Kansas Wildlife & Operations Wildlife) are not taking any animals in right now and one even said if we took him in, they would probably use him as food for the other animals they’re caring for, so the best thing to do is release him tomorrow. I didn’t know if there was anyone with experience in the area that could help? Or a vet that would see him? I don’t know if he can make it on his own.
So as the title says I have found a baby Possum right outside my door this evening! It looks super small so im nervous about its chance of survival but have also been reading things online that while a possum may look small, they are self sufficient.
Should I leave the little guy or take him to a refuge or something? I want to help but dont want to interfere if that would just make things worse.

Hi all. We have a bunny nest under our deck and I blocked it off from our dog.
Unfortunately, when the baby ventured out, our dog went after it. I wasn't home at the time but my mother in law said she got the dog away from the bunny but was not sure if she injured it.
The bunny is now sitting somewhat in the open bleeding from the ear. It's got a small garden fence around it. It's still alive but wont move if I get close to it (I only got close to take the pictures and I didnt touch it) it has a little blood on it's back too, but it looks like it got wiped there from something else and there's no wound that I can see.
Is this a fatal injury? I'm hoping it's just a scratch and the baby is just scared.
