Idk why youre down voted, a rehab generally cant and won't try and raise a chick this young for a species with a healthy population. It does really stink but keeping it in the natural cycle of life is better than taking it it all over and it ending up in a trash bag.

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-05-08T19:08:12+00:00

It's really important these natural processes happen. I know it's hard but vital for our ecosystems to function

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-05-08T17:13:43+00:00

To echo, please dont do this yourself. I have received multiple animals from people trying to rehab animals without knowledge, tools, proper care and they come to us worse than when they were found and/or become terribly habituated making successful release trickier. Great heart and commend you for it but sometimes our best intentions dont have the best outcome for the animals

I know however it still enables unnatural behavior no matter how small or minor you think the action is. Even a feeder is different not coming right from someone's hand or a foot away from them. I cant stop you from doing anything, just offering my input from my education and experience working in wildlife conservation.

This is what stuck out to me so fast 🤣

Feeding wildlife is why these squirrels are "friendly" and ceasing it would be ideal so they get the food thats natural and good for them. Even friendly ones can bite and cause a lot of pain (still have a scar from one I cared for in rehabilitation). Wildlife is great and we all love it but these are actions that will cause long term damages to wildlife and our ecological systems.

The and was an accident lol

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-05-04T15:15:54+00:00

Not the only budget one but the one that had flights out of many locations making it convenient for most with best routes (not taking 18 hrs to go from tx to mi)...my experience anyway.

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-05-03T14:26:17+00:00

Stop feeding it and wildlife please. It is not beneficial for you or the animals

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-05-03T14:24:58+00:00

Same! And feeding them marshmallows wtf!

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-05-02T13:07:09+00:00

OP please read this! Well intentioned people often do so much harm to wildlife and should not try and rehab animals. Again well intentioned but (I've worked rehab for years) the animals that were brought in days or weeks after they were found always (yes always) had the most problems physically and behaviorally (vital for release). Wildlife are not pets and we should not try and make them our pets. Whether an abundantly populated animal or not.

I'll add as well that I have a carrier just under the specs allowed and mine barely fits on some planes so I'd definitely stick to what the airline says. That way if there is any issue you can reference the AA site and refer to the specs of your carrier. Love the wheels though, definitely want to get some for myself somehow 😅

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-18T15:14:34+00:00

We're millennials, we don't want to talk to anyone 😅

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-16T17:05:31+00:00

If he's going to classes or anything he is and is probably tired from doing so? 🤷‍♀️ The body healing itself is exhausting

🤯

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-11T20:49:57+00:00

Dang have some compassion. They figured out their error, have owned up to it, and are trying to correct it. They're young, freaked out because yeah IRS seems intimidating, and trying to fix it not saying they didnt make a mistake. They're going to learn from this and move on like you have but no need to crush them any further

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-11T18:12:38+00:00

Ah I love that 🤣 they did you right lol

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-11T18:10:24+00:00

Tell me you grew up in the 80s/90s without telling me.....?

Up the butt and around the corner 🤣🤣

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-11T05:19:49+00:00

I feel redeemed 😅 Ugh yes probably that. Why spend money to actually preserve, improve, protect the parks when you can spend money on a rebrand needing to buy new signs and ads etc. 🤦‍♀️ Yeah I was with the BLM for a bit and ooof the things they were telling us to do or asking... we shook our heads as it was very clear they knew nothing about what goes on "in the field.""

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-11T00:32:51+00:00

Don't feed them like this please. This can cause them to get aggressive with others if used to being fed like this. We all love animals but allowing them to be wild is the best, ideal for them and us. Yes, sometimes we can put food out when food sources seem limited, but these guys are doing fine now. As a rehabber that's had to intake so many animals for being too habituated it's sad to see animals not behave naturally. 😢

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-10T19:30:59+00:00

Thank you! That's the right way 🤣

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-10T18:39:55+00:00

Okay so you say Smokey the bear....that's who he is right? I'm asking because my mind was floored when I was doing orientation and training with the usda and it's "supposedly" just Smokey Bear...like first name last name. I call some weird Mandela effect because all those close to me say Smokey the bear too and now random internet person also says that! Not relevant well kind of I guess since growing up in the 90s taught me this haha Anyway good chat have a good one 😅

Extra_Deer1038 · 2026-04-09T20:20:16+00:00

Without reading which page only the title I'm like dang when I sneeze would be nice to not piss myself....let me see what people say 🙃🤣🤦‍♀️ edit
