VERY IMPORTANT!! USE HEAVY GLOVES, SUCH AS WELDERS GLOVES TO HANDLE THE BIRD. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THICK GLOVES, USE A HEAVY BLANKET OR BEACH TOWEL TO THROW OVER THE BIRD. QUICKLY, SCOOP UP THE BIRD AND PUT IT INTO A CARDBOARD BOX. DO NOT USE A CAGE!! WIRE CAGES CAN QUICKLY RUIN WILD BIRDS FEATHERS. If you have a bird of prey
because you know it is in need of help: 4. CALL OUR WILDILIFE NUMBER IMMEDIATELY.
