| Here is the protocol if you find any wildlife alive and injured. First don't get to close. Watch and observe what the animal is doing. If you think the animal is in immediate danger then you might want to try to contain the animal, but only if you feel comfortable doing so. Never handle without gloves or a towel. It is best if you get in touch with TCWC at 209-547-3233. For more information on what to do click on the picture. |

| If you find a baby bird and the bird has feathers and is fledgling, (hoping around on the ground) this is normal. The baby bird is just learning how to fly. If the bird is safe from other predatory animals, let it be. The parents will take care of the baby bird. A bird in distress will be gasping for air with their mouth open.

| For a baby mammal, also be sure that it is actually orphaned or abandoned. If you know the animal is orphaned or in trouble, carefully put the baby in a towel-lined secure dark box and bring it to TCWC. If that is not possible, call a veterinary close by and they will help you. Never handle any mammals without gloves or a towel. Especially raccoons as they have a skin parasite that is deadly to humans. Do not attempt to feed or take care of the animal on your own. Use gloves or a towel and attempt to get the animal into the hands of a professional as soon as possible. For more information on what to do click on the picture. |
