A friend found a nest of baby Carolina Wrens in his van. Knowing that I have a bird and have raised birds, he asked it I would take them. He didn’t think the parents would find them if the van was closed up.
Here they are. Ready for supper. 
I was Momma for an evening and a morning. Even though I hand raised Lovebirds, I know I am not qualified to take care of and rehabilitate a wild bird. They need to learn how to take care of themselves and be released back into the wild. I guess that’s the next thing I need to learn.
My neighbor and friend, Debbie, made some calls and gave me the name of a lady in Altamonte Springs, FL that took in injured or orphaned wildlife. I called her, explained what I had , and she said to bring them over. She came highly recommended.
I had no idea that she took in so many kinds of wildlife. Go to her website and check it out. www.havenonline.org I am just reading her newsletter, and after seeing the kind of work they do…with all the animals I see in my back yard…I am going to become a member. I like helping out local organizations. This is definately one that is worth supporting.
Many thanks for all you do at The Haven for Injured and Orphaned Wildlife.
Great Job Carol and thanks for the link.

Carol, I'm so glad you found someone who would take those babies in and take care of them. I will check out her website.

Those little guys were lucky that you were there for them, and knew how to find someone to finish the job! Great post.
ReplyDeleteBaby birds are tough to raise. Always nice when there's a wildlife rehab around. Maybe think of volunteer there to learn more. Awesome capture.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that someone will take in babies and raise them like that!
ReplyDeleteThey rescue, rehabilitate and return to the wild all those that can make it on their own. I am only 1/2 hr from them and never knew they were there. Check your area. You probably have someone doing something similar. I have a neighbor who is trained to take baby squirrels.
ReplyDeleteThey are so sweet. It's great that there are people that will help out the wildlife like this.
ReplyDeleteOMY goodness...how adorable is this photo! Hope all the little ones survived!
ReplyDeleteI had 5 of these living in my run-in. Luckily, they had a momma. They've all flown on now. We now have 2 nest boxes of baby blue birds going.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, What a fantastic shot of your baby carolina wrens! One of my favorite birds as they sing and call so beautifully. One is fortunate if they have a nesting pair in theri yard -- it makes the day brighter! -- Barbara
