Yes, this is definitely one of the cutest baby birds you’ve ever seen. But can you guess the species? 👀

‼️49,000 patients‼️ And we couldn’t have imagined a more fitting way to mark this milestone 💚

Patient 49,000 came to us the way the best stories do — through a community that paid attention, and a network that showed up.
This Eastern Screech Owl nestling was found at the base of a tree in the Florida Keys, and the team at Florida Keys Wild Bird Center didn’t hesitate: they assessed, they cared, and when they realized he was the only owl of his kind in their care, they reached out to us — knowing we had others his age and species for him to grow up alongside 🦉🦉🦉

That’s what this network is. Not just referrals — genuine collaboration. Shared knowledge, shared purpose and, sometimes, shared patients ❤️‍🩹

We’re proud to be part of it. And we’re rooting hard for this little one 🦉

How and how much patients eat is an important indicator of their health and stress levels!

This Florida Softshell Turtle was found in the middle of I-27, in traffic. It sounds unlikely — but it happens more often than most people realize.
This patient came in with a badly cracked shell. We tried our best, but the injuries were too severe and she passed after a few days in care.
If you find a turtle on the road, help them cross in the direction they were heading. If they’re injured, bring them into our care 🐢

Head trauma is one of the main causes for which we admit hawks at our hospital. Unfortunately, it often comes with corneal ulcers too. Vision is key to these animals, so after they’ve healed, we test them on hunting to make sure they can use their vision well 👀 🦅

Cat attacks are one of the most common reasons small birds end up in wildlife rehabilitation — and this little Blue Jay is a perfect example.

Domestic cats and dogs are actually a big threats to local wildlife, even when they’re well-loved, well-fed pets. It’s instinct — they can’t help it.

If you have a cat, keeping them indoors as much as possible makes a huge difference. And if you’re out in nature with your dog, please keep them on a leash — especially where wildlife is present.

Small actions, big impact. 🐦🤞
