Hello, I am a Veterinarian
So many post are appearing of “what do I do” after finding baby birds, squirrels or bunnies.
Leave them ALONE! Period
I know before my education I thought I was saving all these animals too, I wasn’t.
Find a bird, look for a nest in the area. If you see no nest place the bird near the trunk of a tree and just keep an eye out for predators. You can absolutely make a makeshift nest out of cardboard and paper and also place it on a branch securely on a tree in the vicinity you found the bird.
Found a bunny, find a small nest or leave it exactly where you found it unless it has marks from a predator.
Found a squirrel, LEAVE IT EXACTLY where it was. You can search for a nest and put it in the nest, if no nest is found, LEAVE IT. (Unless there is a risk of predators). Then call your local county animal rehabilitation.
I know as humans we want to do everything we can to save animals but we often times get too involved which ends up causing the death of these babies.
Unless these babies are victims of an attack from a predator, leave them.
