Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. #45: How Wildlife Rehabilitators Save Birds
Q: What are some do's and don'ts people should know about feeding or hydrating birds they find?
Do provide safe hydration from area-appropriate foods rather than pouring water down the bird's throat; avoid feeding seeds to babies that require insects, use locally available, natural foods, and defer feeding or handling in ways that could cause airway or GI harm; always aim to involve a rehabilitator for proper feeding regimens.
Ep. #45: How Wildlife Rehabilitators Save Birds
Q: Is there a resource or triage guide people can use if they find a baby bird and don't know what to do?
The guest emphasizes that there is no universal guide due to species differences, and notes that even experts struggle to identify hatchlings; the recommended path is to contact a licensed rehabilitator, use their texting/triage process, and rely on professional instructions rather than attempting broad DIY fixes.
Ep. #45: How Wildlife Rehabilitators Save Birds
Q: So would you just advise that people get in touch with a licensed rehabilitator as soon as possible? Before they take any action on capturing a bird or storing it?
Yes. The advice given is to contact a licensed rehabilitator immediately, use their text line to share a photo for quick triage, and follow guidance on what to do if the bird cannot be brought in right away; they may provide interim steps to keep the bird safe and fed while arranging transport.
Ep. #46: All About Tanagers!
Q: What is the only species of Thropid, i.e. a bird in the Thropidae Tropical Tanager family that is known to nest directly on glacial ice?
The Glacier Finch, a high-elevation species from Peru and Bolivia, nests directly on ice in narrow mountain top ranges.
