Hi everyone, I am posting a video and I apologize for the video quality as I was filming it myself this is a video of a yellow bellied sap sucker that was brought to me post hurricane Helene. He was found due to him hitting a window & the woman who I was able to get in contact with a placed him in a box for safety and kept him nice and warm and got him to me right away. This is critical when birds have gotten injured and need rehabilitation. Please don’t feed them anything or give them water as I could do further damage, she followed instructions impeccably, and she was very kind and wonderful and met me and got him to me so I could evaluate him and get him what he needed …so a yellow bellied sapsucker is a migratory bird and it’s a migratory bird that is protected on the migratory bird species list. Most people know this bird as a type of woodpecker, and some people even describe them as a nuisance bird however, they are very beneficial to our flora and our deciduous trees here by ridding them of bugs that destroy the trees from within, they also feed off of sap, but they’re very beneficial to our ecology and our world. I believe that every living creature deserves to have a chance at living its best life and that’s why I think I was put on this earth to do these type of things, but I can’t do them alone and I haven’t done them alone. I’ve learned from some of the best along the ways from Veterinarian’s & friends colleagues and especially Kris Porter with Owls Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife she has shown me truly so much and I’m so grateful for her guidance. I also can’t do this without all of you so if you do see this video please, if you’re able to share my Amazon wish list or my Zelle information. I will also get Venmo up and running that’s newer to me but anything you can share or donate is so greatly appreciated. Those have all already donated already know the cause and how much this means to me and also I’m so grateful you all are animal lovers and with me on this journey! I believe my town needs a wildlife sanctuary where people can come bring animals that they have found to get help and we can get them back to where they belong in nature. So please if you see this video you can share it or you can share my donation buttons or you can just also do what you can out in the world when you find Wildlife and make sure we are saving and doing as much as we can. They are the voiceless they are the ones that need our help. They need caring loving individuals who truly want to do the right thing so thank you from the bottom of my heart for watching the video. Thank you for believing in me. I have to say in this case I am extremely proud of myself which I usually don’t say, but I really am this time and I’m grateful for people trusting me and believing in me again thank you
