What to do with an injured animal!

Approach it quietly and calmly. Young birds that are fledged and can hop away usually have their parents nearby and are best left alone but may be placed up in a nearby a tree. Use a towel or sheet to cover their head and for birds, enclose their wings to prevent flapping.
Gently, but firmly pick them up holding their wings against their bodies. With hawks, owls and tuis be careful of their claws as they can grip very tightly. With herons, gannets and gulls be wary of their sharp beaks.
Place the animal in a box that doesn’t allow for too much movement and has holes in for ventilation with newspaper or an old towel lining the bottom. Put in a warm (not hot) and quiet place, away from cats and dogs and give us a call:
Tauranga (07) 578 7054
Rotorua (07) 349 2955.

When transporting birds in a vehicle be sure to have the radio/tape off and close car doors quietly.
