Once they're in a container, people should wash their hands well, and avoid bringing wild birds into their homes. AAU runs an emergency rescue service for dogs, cows, donkeys, birds and cats and brings them. This Indian NGO runs a hospital and sanctuary for injured or ill street animals and rescues thousands a year. Instead, people should wear gloves and a mask and use a towel to pick them up. These six nonprofit organizations support the ethical treatment of animals both large and small, wild or domesticated. Sawers said the spread of avian influenza has made collecting birds harder this year, and cautions against touching birds with bare hands. "Don't be a birdnapper - meaning taking baby birds that are perfectly fine away from their parents," she said, adding she supports the makeshift nest approach Huppé used. They're raised among other birds and eventually released. Some are put in incubators and all are fed by hand every 20 minutes, Sawers said.

Once a bird is taken into their care, staff does a full exam and provides vital fluids, medication and any treatment needed for their injuries. If it's unclear if a bird is healthy or not, Sawers recommends calling the Wild Bird Care Centre. "I think it's really important for anybody who is clearing up their property to just check, to look for baby birds, to look for nests," Huppé said.
Huppé advises against giving them food and water, and instead asks people to call local rehab experts. She said the first thing to do with an injured bird is make sure they're warm, as they can't regulate their own body temperature.
(Submitted by Christina Huppé) What to do if you find a bird during storm cleanupĬrows and owls only have one clutch a year, Huppé said, and so they're more attached to their young than starlings, grackles and robins who can have two or three. Christina Huppé helped rescue this injured baby crow after two young boys called Safe Wings Ottawa when they discovered a fallen nest.
