FAQs:
Young Garden Birds
Garden birds like thrushes, blackbirds and robins often leave the nest before they can fly. They will dot themselves around the garden and they will call out to their parents to feed them when they are hungry. Never pick up an uninjured fledgling unless you are sure it is in danger. If you do place it in a safer place and leave. Its parent will find it.
Owls
Owls are often found on the ground. 9 times out of 10 they are ok. They may have fallen from the tree and chosen to lay low until evening falls. Fledgling owl are very capable of climbing back up the tree. So the same applies, leave them be unless they are obviously injured or in danger.
Ducklings & Other Water Fowl
Ducklings are often brought in when the parents have abandoned them. This is rarely the case. Parent ducks will often fly off or try to distract you if their brood is nearby. Most ducks nest away from water to avoid river or lakeside predators. They only take them to water a day after they hatch. This often means a long and dangerous trek. Chances are that if the mother duck flies off she will return so leave well alone. Only pick up ducklings if you are sure that they are no longer with their parents or if you find one on its own.
