Hey all,
Just figured I would share a piece of info for anyone who ends up with birds to help out.. This I found interesting in a course of wild birds I had to take for the rehab lic.. Now I won't get into the specifics of what to do if you find a baby bird, etc.. Just one interesting fact.. Putting a baby bird of green grass or green leaves can prove to be fatal.. Sure it has been done and the bird lives, but the chance is about 60% it will kill the bird, baby or older. Drying grass and leaves give off different gasses which can harm or kill the bird. So if you do take a rescue in, use paper towels or very dryed out grass..
Just a helpful note..
