We don’t all like our neighbors—human or animal!

While animals have a right to make a home as well, the spots they choose may not always be ideal. If you have a wild neighbor you’d like to encourage to move on, there are several things you can do to humanely get them to leave.

If you find a baby bird in the nestling stage out of the nest, but aren’t sure where the nest is (or the nest is out of reach or has been destroyed), you can still reunite baby with its parents with an artificial nest.

Despite the changes in nest, bird parents will usually continue to care for the baby—and staying with its parents is always a baby animal’s best chance of survival. Here are 7 easy steps to making an artificial nest.

Unfortunately, birds don’t understand the concept of glass. This often results in collisions with windows, sliding doors and other clear or reflective surfaces.

A bird that hits a window can suffer severe head trauma, including concussions. If a bird collides with your window and you can go outside and pick it up, it definitely needs medical attention. Then follow these simple steps.

It’s opossum baby season, which means it’s time to check the pouch!

If you see a dead opossum that has been hit by a car (and you can SAFELY get to it), take a minute to stop and see if the opossum is a mom. By checking a pouch for joeys, you could save 13 little lives. Here’s what you can do to help.

If there’s a bunny nest in your yard, your dogs will probably happily find it for you!

… great …

We want to protect the baby bunnies from dogs, but moving the nest is not an option (mom knows where the nest is but won’t know to look for her babies elsewhere if you move them. Cottontails also cannot move their babies themselves). So, how can we keep those bunnies safe from Fido?
