53 Baby Birds arrive at Greenwood
You never know what to expect at Greenwood. In the busy season we usually receive an average of 10-15 animals coming through our door a day. So when Animal Control showed up with a box containing 53 baby birds, we were stunned. What did she mean “53 baby birds”?! How could that be possible? Greenwood usually receives individual babies that have fallen from the nest or entire nests that have fallen down but never this many at one time.
Apparently, a fifteen-year old boy had gone under a Longmont bridge and removed every healthy baby bird from their nests when they were under the supervision and care of the adult birds. He had brought them home and kept them in his home while his friends and he attempted to care for them. The boy’s mother discovered their attempt and called Animal Control and the birds were confiscated and brought to Greenwood.
