Baby Bird Rescue Advice

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A BABY BIRD THAT MAY NEED RESCUE

​

If you find a sick, injured or orphaned chick it will need to see a vet or experienced wildlife rehabilitator.

​

However, some chicks that may look like they need rescue, could be healthy chicks still learning how to fly that are being tended to by their parents.

​

If you have found a chick that may need rescue please work through the diagram below to work out what to do.
