I was at the ocean today. I was there watching numerous people walk up to something on the beach and walk away.
After about thirty minutes a lady walked up to it and then I saw it was a shorebird. I rushed over to see and she had a Grebe. I brought it home to warm up and recover.
What is wrong with people they can't even bend over to save a life?
Most people should stay away from injured wild birds, as they could be carrying feather mites or diseases.
Besides, it's illegal to take care of injured native birds-you're supposed to take them to licensed rehabbers, but if you pulled it off without getting fined, then so much the better.
