AUWatch this video to find out how our very own Brittany Salmons of @audubon_nc and her family were able to rescue a young Osprey that was stuck in the water, unable to take flight.
What should you do if you ever see this happen?
π©Ή Prioritize your own safety first and foremost!
π Call local wildlife rescue right away. They can give you guidance and might be able to respond quickly.
π If you do elect to help, use tools, not hands. Even smaller birds can have sharp talons and beaksβand can injure you without meaning to.
π¦ Give it space to recover. Stress is dangerous for wildlife, so once itβs safe, back away and let it rest until itβs ready to move on its own. Then if you need to, get it to your closest wildlife rehabber.
