Wildlife Care Center

My last two weeks at Wildlife allowed me to work with some of the mammals for a change. The baby-season is over for songbirds, so the birds under my care whittled down to one (one moor hen) two weeks ago. So as the number of songbirds decreased, I started to help more with doves and pigeons, and then more recently squirrels and opossums. Jessica and Dani taught me how to hand-feed baby squirrels. And I was shown how to clean and feed the larger squirrels and opossums. Very cool. I'm looking forward to learning more about these little critters when I go back to the WCC after our travels. Freda, Jessica, and Freddi - remember you promised I can work with the mammals on my next tour of duty! Ha! They made this promise to me in order to lure me back to the nursery. They also provided me with this framed and signed picture:

The staff in the nursery all signed the picture of these baby mockingbirds...the white one is a rare albino mockingbird we had gotten in over the summer. He had red eyes and was beautiful. What a wonderful gift to remember all of my babies and the great staff at Wildlife Care Center. Thanks to everyone there for their patience and all of the information that they shared with me over these past months. I look forward to going back when I'm back in town.
