Seed rescue birds how to#
Human raised birds become used to being provided for by humans alone and are not taught how to live in the wild, find natural food resources, and avoid predators. The baby birds parents are the best able to raise, protect, and teach their young. Removing birds from the wild decreases their population numbers, removes parents from their mates & young, and with baby birds - removes their source of protection, guidance, and source of food. Our aim is to keep WILDLIFE WILDso ALL can continue to enjoy them.
