  • Super informative!

    This is an amazing podcast! I’m not a rehabilitator (yet) since I’m still a teen, but I have learned so much from this podcast from loons not living in captivity to crop milk in the columbidae family! Gail Buhl does an awesome job and I have this podcast to thank for an interest in rehab!

    To rap up my review, this podcast cast is well made, very informative, and loads of fun! I would highly recommend.

  • Invaluable information - thank you for this resource!

    I’m a new “sub-permittee” to wildlife rehabilitation in RI. We are fortunate enough to have a great clinic as a central hub for rehabilitation. I am learning so much as I take shifts there. Staff and experienced volunteers are great at answering questions, but they are so busy! This podcast has been a wonderful gift to give me in-depth information so that in can increase my knowledge without stressing out busy staff. Please, please, keep these episodes coming! And thank you!
