WILDLIFE
What do do if you find injured wildlife...
Is it really injured?
LEAVE IT ALONE:
Baby deer alone, with no parents in a field, sat like a cat in "loaf" position?
This is totally normal. DO NOT touch or move them, just walk away.
LEAVE IT ALONE:
Baby hare alone in a field, no parents present, sat like a cat in "loaf" position.
This is totally normal. DO NOT touch or move them, just walk away.
LEAVE IT ALONE:
Baby bird, with most of it's feathers waiting for mum in the garden.
This is totally normal. DO NOT touch or move them, just walk away.
