Wildlife in Crisis, Inc.

Wildlife in Crisis, Inc. Wildlife in Crisis volunteers answer over 20,000 phone calls and care for over 5,000 injured and orphaned wild animals each year, since 1988. Please be patient.

If you have found an injured or orphaned wild animal please call us and be sure to leave a voicemail. We usually return calls within 30 minutes during business hours. We need to assess each situation to decide what the best course of action is for each animal. Remember, these are wild animals and often the best course of action is to simply leave them be, or offer a gentle helping hand. Placing wi

ldlife in a captive situation is a last resort. We are entirely volunteer run and receive over 200 calls per day. If this is an emergency please call local police. Thank you.

Our baby crows were moved into their flight cage this week. They came in separately after being injured after falling from nests. As our baby birds mature we slowly graduate them to next phases in their journey towards freedom. We continue to hand feed our baby birds once they are placed in outdoor enclosures and gradually they begin to self feed while developing flight muscles and feathers. These two are enjoying one another’s company immensely.💚

Baby opossum #72 this year! A bumper crop of opossums or a record number of mothers being hit by cars on our increasingly overburdened roadways. Regardless, that’s a lot of mouths to feed! One by one each are thriving. Some are being tube fed, others drink from a syringe, some lap from a bowl and some are weaned onto solid foods. We have all ages and conditions of these babies currently healing and growing in our clinic in incubators and on heat pads. Thankfully this little guy is old enough to drink his milk from a bowl. We just love his little feet and prehensile tail.💕

So many ducklings….🐥Dozens of our growing duckling were moved to an outdoor swim enclosure this week and those in incubators graduated to larger indoor enclosures. These little ones arrived and were placed into a vacant incubator. their first step here. We often put a calm mallard duckling in with our wood ducklings as a mentor to keep them calm and encourage self feeding. This trio arrived on the same day separately. All were found alone on roads without any mother in sight. All were peeping frantically upon arrival, but now they’ve settled into their new surroundings. They’re all eating well and resting comfortably. Now we monitor and watch them grow.💚

These downy woodpeckers were brought to us a month ago as nestlings after their tree was cut down. Miraculously they survived the fall protected by the tree hollow their parents so carefully chose for them. One did suffer a leg fracture and they were all bruised from the fall, but all healed and thrived. Day by day with hand feedings every 20 minutes they matured. Eventually eating insects on their own out of tree logs in our outdoor flight cage. On this beautiful June day we released them onto our sanctuary where trees are left to stand for wildlife.💚🌎🌳

Receiving many birds entangled in fishing line this week!😐 Most are recovering from deep wounds caused by line and hooks. This robin was a quick turnaround. We were able to remove the line, allow him to rest and then spend some time in our flight cage. We were able to send him back to his point of origin same day. Those healing from lacerations and punctures need to spend weeks with us. It’s always great to send them home same day after line removal. Stay safe little robin. Humans, pick up your line!🧐
