Please note that BPQ is NOT involved in the rescue and care of injured birds.
Wild bird rehabilitation is not our area of expertise and we CANNOT accept injured birds from the public.
However ... we get many, many approaches every year from members of the public who have found an abandoned nestling or an injured bird and don't know what to do with them.
Most frequent questions people have can be answered by:
The very detailed website of the Urban Nature Information Service run by the McGill University Department of Natural Resources Sciences at http://unis.mcgill.ca/en/uw/index.html
