Another Day, Another baby

Another Day, Another Baby

Yes, we have been busy.  Babies  have been coming in  pretty much every day.  Some are hurt, others are just lost and starved.  Oddly enough , the hurt ones we can do more for.

 Last week we got in several new youngsters.  of them, all but 3 were damaged badly.  We have one with eye trauma, 5 with broken wings, and 1 with severe wounds, probably from a cat.

And of course we also have some hurt adult birds.  All in all we have been on the road a lot getting hurt birds.  None of them seem to be nearby..  Most are at the edge of Wake County or just inside an adjacent county.  We are averaging $800 a month on gas for rescues.

We have sent about 16 birds to the large Carolina Raptor  center.  Those birds are ready for outside cages and CRC has more cages and LARGER cages than we have

Still, as a rule we do our best to care for birds we get in  until such tim as we are sure that they are beyond us,  Then we find others who have the facilities.  That does not mean we send out all birds. most birds are released (60%+-) or die (30%+-).

For a while, we will have babies.   Soon, those babies will be on their own, hopefully healthy and hopefully never to need us.
