Baby bird advice for Guernsey - often healthy fledglings are best left alone

Submitted by Steve on 15:38, 17th Apr, 2014 | 0

With Spring 2014 well underway the GSPCA are asking Islanders to be mindful of the many fledglings popping up around the Bailiwick. 

The GSPCA would like to remind that as a general rule, it is best to leave baby birds alone.

A baby bird has a greater chance of survival in the wild than it has being hand-reared by man as they learn to fend for themselves and how to forage for food by their parents.

Around 2 weeks after hatching young birds in your Bailiwick garden usually leave the nest, just before they learn how to fly.
