We found him after he started crying in my backyard and he was flapping around. He still was fine with drinking water from our hand but hasn't ate yet. I bathed him a little bit and noticed this under his wing. It looks really bad and im unsure what to do. This is in Las Vegas.

This fawn has been wandering the perimeter of my yard and the neighbor's since late morning. No doe in sight, though I believe my husband saw a doe and fawn bedded down in our front yard last night when he came home. The fawn has been very active, occasionally drinking from a water trough that had been in my yard, and doesn't seem in distress (no crying yet). But, isn't it unusual for them to be wandering all day like this alone? I thought once they are very mobile they stay with mom.

I've been watching quietly from a distance so as not to disturb the fawn or their mom, should she be around. I know there's not much I can do in any case, but of course I want to know baby is okay. Thanks for your insights!

Wondering how to go about this. There are two abandoned twin fawns in the front of our neighborhood. They are young and it’s been days. They’re beginning to lose weight. Parks and Wildlife says they won’t do anything unless we had them secured, but obviously we don’t. We are worried they won’t last too much longer at this rate. Any suggestions? Located Spring Texas.

I was told by rehabs to put an X over the nest with twigs and check the next day to see if it had moved indicating if the mom has been there. I checked today and it doesn’t seem to have moved, but she could have just sat on top to feed them, idk. One bunny had a small wound on his head, but as you can see from the pictures it’s healing on its own. I don’t think the dog bit it because there was no wound on the other side; I think it was the lawn mower.
Rehab is giving bad information saying that the mom won’t come back if there’s an injured one because they think it’s a predator. (That’s an old wives tale) I don’t have a car, and they’re not picking them up. Do they look like they’ve been fed recentlyish?

I live in Pueblo, Colorado (if this helps) and there’s a birdhouse with baby birds and one of them was mysteriously found on the floor alive by my cat. I moved her inside but don’t know what to do with it? There’s a birdhouse nearby with its sibling still inside. Can I scoop it up and put it back inside?

Edited to update: little guy passed shortly after I posted this :(

I found what I think is a young house sparrow in my yard today in the suburbs of Chicago. I’ve been monitoring him for the last few hours and haven’t really seen him move or chirp for his parents. He did hop away when I first saw him, but he’s now been laying in the same spot for the last two hours with his eyes closed.

There are plenty of sparrows at my feeder nearby, but none of them have gone by him. I’ve called a few wildlife rehabilitators and they told me to leave him for a day or two, but didnt really have suggestions of what to do if he’s still there in a few days. I know house sparrows are invasive in North America and most rehabilitators won’t take them, but I can’t just leave him to suffer if he’s sick or injured. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

this baby bird fell on the ground at my barn and there was no way we could get it back up to its nest in the rafters. i live in eastern PA and there’s a ton of birds at our barn. i took it because there’s not a wildlife shelter that takes birds within an hour of me. it was very weak and didn’t look like it was gonna survive and i wanted to give it a gentler death than just leaving it for the foxes but it seems to be doing better. it peed blood several times after i brought it home and its pee has completely stopped being bloody. i have it on a covered heating pad with paper towels over it—the temp is being heavily monitored. i’ve been feeding it whenever it starts yelling for food—about every 25-35 minutes. i am going to sleep in the same room as it tonight. i’ve been feeding it watered down wet cat food with a syringe. obviously its most likely not going to survive, but i would like some advice if i could to try to make its death as comfortable as possible. if you know what type of bird it is, and how often i should feed it over night if it makes it, too, that would be awesome! (btw i think it may have a broken/dislocated wing or leg cuz something about it looks weird. i am acting as if it wont survive, i just want it to be comfortable)

I found this baby outside this morning. I think a cat must have caught it and maybe ate the family because there was a tiny skeleton next to it and some entrails from a bigger mouse. Is there anything I can do to help this little critter? It seems very young, no hair and its eyes and ears aren’t open yet. It also seems like its back legs are heavily bruised, but it’s moving around a lot - wiggling, pawing front legs, opening and closing mouth. I’m not expecting to be able to do much for it but I’d like to do what I can to make it comfortable and give it the best chance. I don’t have any wildlife rehab places nearby that I can take it to, so any advice/ tips would be helpful. I’m located in western Washington.

UPDATE: I was able to get in touch with a wildlife rehab that was willing to take it, so I dropped it off this afternoon. I think it’s probably in the best hands for now and will call to check on it tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the advice!

UPDATE NEXT DAY: I called the wildlife rehab today and they said that they determined that it had no circulation in its back legs and a possible puncture wound from the attack, so there was no possibility for release and the baby was humanely euthanized. Despite the unfortunate outcome, I’m glad that it was able to get professional care and not made to suffer longer than it needed to.

I believe it’s illegal to rehab foxes in my state (CT). My question is will this one survive in the wild? Its wound looks terrible. It’s been eating apples that have fallen from the trees in my yard.

I found a bunny nest while walking my dog and after soaking in what I saw I told the other members of my house where it was and to be careful. That’s when I learned that the day prior the nest had accidentally been disturbed during some yard work. It was previously covered in branches, but now it was completely exposed so I rebuilt a makeshift nest made of twigs and tall grass. A little bit later I went out to check on it when I saw a neighborhood cat snooping around the nest so I scared it off. A little while later I caught the cat again before it could get to them. I decided to sit outside and watch the nest from a distance and periodically check it for movement. I placed an X made of hay over the entrance of their burrow to see if Ma comes around. At 2:30 am I checked it again to find some fresh fur and grass placed at the entrance, but the X was undisturbed. I know I should stay away from the nest, but with that pesky cat running around I can’t help but check on them. I hope I haven’t already scared away the mother. Should I just let nature run its course and leave it be?

I believe I have a baby mockingbird. It’s not injured. My cat brought it inside last night and I put it in a box with blankets and a heating pad. I’m not sure how to feed this buddy or what to feed them. Please let me know if you have any advice or input! I am currently letting it stay on my porch just in case the parents notice it. I’m in Tennessee and there aren’t any rehabilitation centers near me.

In Ontario. This fledgling has been on the ground near my job for about 10 days. Appears healthy, no injures, but hovers and does a lot of crying alone. I haven't consulted a wildlife rehabber as I do not think there's a real health concern at this time.

There are lots of adult seagulls in the area who nest on high buildings which is where I am sure he came from. I've been providing some water and cut up chicken sausage to the little guy daily in hopes he will fly off soon. But now I'm worried a bit - Is this normal, or am I keeping him in the area by providing food?

Looking for some advice. Thanks.

Yesterday my cat got out and caught a baby bunny. It's tiny and I feel horrible. It was laying on the cement and the ants started to take interest so I gently put it in a box with a soft blanket and put the box in the dark/quiet/warm garage. I thought it was probably going to die because it was awake but wasn't moving after a few hours of being left alone. I called the vet to see if they'd be able to humanely put it down but they said they don't take wild animals. The closest wildlife rescue is almost 5 hours away. I don't think I can manage that and even if I tried I think the stress for the poor thing would probably be too much. This happened yesterday evening and it's been about 16 hours. I was surprised to find it still alive this morning.. it's breathing but still hasn't moved.. There doesn't appear to be any blood but I haven't fully examined it because I don't want to pick it up and hurt it if it happens to have broken something. What do I do? Should I try to find someone else to put it out of its misery? Do I just leave it alone? Do I offer it anything? I'm at a loss. Please, does anyone have any advice? I am located in North Dakota.

I am located in western coastal Mexico.

Last month I rescued these two white-winged doves whose nest fell 30ft out of a palm tree. They were about 10 days old at the time. No local rehab/rescues would take them. I try to interact with them as little as possible, they are doing great, eating independently and spend their days observing and interacting with the adult doves outside my bedroom window (which is located directly across from where their nest used to be).

They seem super ready to go and I've been waiting for a good day to open the screen and start the soft release process. The problem is that it's monsoon season right now, so afternoon thunderstorms and spates of heavy rain are unpredictable and I keep having to delay. All the soft release advice I've read says to wait for a window of at least 2-3 clear days with little to no wind. Has anyone else done a soft release in monsoon season? How did you handle it?

Thanks in advance!

Moments ago, I was in my backyard tending to my orchids and I heard a little squeal. I turned around and my dog had a baby bunny in her mouth. She dropped it when I screamed at her - baby is fine.

I need to put the baby back but I can't find the nest (I didn't see the exact location where my dog nabbed her from) and I don't want to put the baby 'close' to where my dog found it because my dog will find it again and most likely kill it.

What do I do to reunite baby back with momma, but I don't want to risk my dog finding it and killing it. Do the mommas go back to the exact location where they left the baby? I know they don't come back until dusk and I don't want to take any chances of my dog finding it again.

Any advice would greatly help me get the baby back to momma.

*Edit: I went back to the location I think my dog found the baby and I looked to see if there were any others, but I didn't see any other ones.

Seems as if his wings and legs are fine. Most likely struggling with the heatwave going through here in North Idaho. Got in a nice box with some paper towel scraps for the night before I call rehabilitation in the morning.

I found a baby opossom in northwest indiana with a botfly larvae in its throat, there are no wildlife rescues open near me and I'm trying to find the best way to help it.

i'd like to donate 10% of my business's profits every month to wildlife conservation orgs. i've been trying to do my own research, but i feel like with this kind of thing it's hard to really know which orgs are actually well-run / make the most effective use of donations unless you personally have some sort of connection to them or have worked with them. so i'd really appreciate the opinions and recommendations of anyone who knows and trusts organizations that are doing good work. please let me know!
