It's also illegal to relocate raccoons in NY. Pest control companies ARE lying to you if they say that's what they're doing.

Dell is a house mouse who was found with symptoms pointing to poisoning in December '22. Happily, he recovered rather well, though he never gained a normal mouse fear of things that he should. In fact, he's really not afraid of anything or any one. So he stayed with us, living his very best mousy life.

At three years old, Dell is quite a senior mouse! Here is baby Dell in his intake photo on the left, and a couple of him looking very dashing today. 🐭🩵

Big shout-out to the fantastic folks at the fantastic Little Brook Farm for saving (and bagging!) their fallen hay for us. This example of 'one man's trash is another man's treasure' helps tremendously to keep little feet warm outside, and offer extra insulation in houses for these coldest of nights. 🌬️

When the call starts out "my boyfriend did something stupid", it's never good. So was the case with "Alpha" who was of 2 ducklings who aforementioned boyfriend had impulse purchased to keep in his sorority house. Now the ducklings were half grown and causing a mess. And a stink. As ducks do.

Sadly, as they had not been fed chick starter instead of the appropriate food for ducklings, both grew to have physical deformities.

Alpha lives with her bestie, "Chicken", (who's actually a duck) in the special needs house, along with a handful of hens and roosters, and a pigeon who is not special needs, but moved in to avoid others of his kind, for whom he has no use.

Every day, Alph is carried out for pool time, which is her absolute favorite thing in the world!

Please be mindful of the effects of food litter on wildlife. Littering is unacceptable even if it’s biodegradable. Many animals are hit by cars every day because they are looking for food in or near roadways as a direct result of food litter. One of the easiest ways you can save wild animals is by holding onto your food waste until you’re able to put it in an trash can or compost bin.

With sub-zero degrees last night, the chickens were cozy way up high, and extra fluffy shavings gave the geese and ducks insolation from the cold.
Today's highs are topping out in the teens, so the houses with compromised critters are staying closed up.
We're all looking forward to spring!

The urge to protect trees and plants from Gypsy/Spongy Moths, Lanternfly, and other pests, is surely understandable, but please do so in a manner that doesn't endanger all the rest of the critters!

That would be a "nope". 1/10. Do not recommend. 🐔🦆🪿🌨❄️☃️
