🐦 Found a fledgling bird? Please don't "rescue" it! 🐦![]()
![]()
In the past few weeks, our ARMAC team have seen many healthy young birds being brought into the practice by well-meaning members of the public. In most cases, these birds don't need rescuing—they're fledglings, and being on the ground is a completely normal part of learning to fly. ![]()
