Spring. The sun is warmer, the
leaves are turning green and new
life is everywhere. It's a time of
year when most people are anxious
to get outside and enjoy nature.
It's also the time of year when
birds and animals in the wild give
birth. Baby animals and birds are
sometimes discovered in woodlots,
fields, gardens and waterways.
Sometimes that baby bird or
animals may seem helpless or
abandoned. For many people, their
first instinct is to "rescue" the baby
and take it home with them. It's a
well-meaning idea, but not in the
best interests of the animal.
The Ministry of Natural
Resources recommends that people
have a baby animal or bird where it
is found.
Baby animals are seldom
abandoned. Parents are usually
close by and actively caring for
their youngsters. Handling a young
animal —even momentarily - can
discourage the parent from
returning to it. If you discover a
baby animal or bird, the best policy
is to leave it alone.
Taking a wild bird or animal
home can be a death sentence for it.
They don't make a good pets.
Feeding them pet food doesn't
usually provide what they need in
their diets and most wildlife need
very special habitats to survive.
Under Ontario's Game and Fish
Act, no native wildlife can be kept
in captivity for more than 10 days
without authorization from the
Ministry of Natural Resources.
The best way to protect young
birds or animals is to protect their
habitat. By learning more about
wildlife, protecting young animals
and birds from children and
ly members.
