We are very fortunate to have the Lindsay Museum Of Wild Life Hospital to help us out during the Fledgling season. They usually advice us to leave the fledglings alone unless the location seems unsafe or the fledgling is injured. They asked me to bring in two fledglings,treated them and then after a month of care they were released into a nature reserve. Lindsay really cares for our local wildlife and they get a lot of donations too!!
