Official first day of Spring Post:

If you find baby wildlife the first course of action is to reunite with mama if possible while interfering as little as possible. If it is not possible to reunite baby with mama, put in a dark warm safe place while you seek help. 

For Anniston and Calhoun County, specifically, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES call The Anniston Museum of Natural History. As of my last interaction with them they were not a qualified rehab facility and definitely didn't behave as such (they crippled opossums with what would have been easily remedied diet and then gave them away as pets when they became too burdensome. Ask me how I know).

For mammals (furry animals with nipples), please contact Wild Mammal Care of Alabama 205.871.7803.

For birds, please contact Alabama Wildlife Center.

Please share and save some lives.
