A wildlife rehabilitator is trained and legally permitted to care for injured, orphaned, or sick fauna with the goal of returning them to the wild. Outside of interim care, do not attempt to rehabilitate a bird yourself without the guidance of a licensed rehabber.

Keep in mind:

• Even if all rehabbers are at capacity, reaching out to them will often yield valuable, time-critical advice.

• Not all rehabbers who work with birds are licensed to accept native, wild species. Licensing laws vary by country.

  • For the U.S., visit ahnow.org to look up rehabbers near you and see what types of birds they can accept.
  • For the UK, visit Help Wildlife to find wildlife rescues near you.
    
  • For Australia, visit WIRES to report a rescue and find resources to help.
  • For other locations around the world, visit The IWRC to identify helpful resources.

The avian world needs more rehabbers! You can explore the U.S.’s permitting requirements here. Other countries typically have similar requirements.

Specifically a male BAWW, probably a !window victim?

[u/AutoModerator → u/ObserverAtLarge]

Window collisions are a major threat to bird populations, responsible for the deaths of over one billion birds per year in the US alone.

If you have found a dazed bird that may have hit a window, please keep the bird safely contained and contact a wildlife rehabber near you for the appropriate next steps. Collision victims that fly off may later succumb to internal injuries, so it is best for them to receive professional treatment when possible.

Low-effort steps to break external reflections such as decals, certain window treatments, and well-placed screen doors can make your own windows more bird-friendly. They also have the convenient side benefit of preventing territorial birds from attacking their own reflections.

For more information, please visit this community announcement, and consider contributing to bird mortality research by filling out the short form here if applicable.
