If you’re unsure if the bird needs your help or have questions about handling, housing, and transporting it, please call our Wildlife Help Line first: 205-663-7930, Ext. 2. You must leave a message on this line to be assisted by a trained Specialist. Specialists are busy caring for animals but monitor this line and return calls at least every hour from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. The only way to talk to a Specialist is to leave a message, and they will return your call as soon as they can.
Tips to help wildlife
Sustainable Land Use.
Coffee grown in the shade of tree canopies, rather than on land cleared of vegetation, preserves precious habitat for many species of migratory birds. Consider purchasing shade-grown coffee and other items produced from sustainable land use practices. Make your purchase power count!
