THE REPLY
Hello Dr Johnson,
Thank you for your email. We are happy to accept most wildlife. We do not charge for this service. They relinquish custody to us and do not get the animal back.
We stabilize the animals and then send them to a rehabilitator.
You are welcome to send us your avian referrals. I will send you some cards to have on hand for your clients who might own exotic pets. Thanks!!
Have a great day,
Debbie
