TAKE CARE IF YOU SEE A YOUNG DESERTED BIRD

Every Spring and early summer the RSPCA are contacted by people who come across young birds which they think have been deserted by their parents.
In many cases these birds have not been abandoned and trying to rescue them can do more harm than good.
If you are however genuinely worried leave the young bird (usually a fledgling) for an hour and on your return you will normally find its parents have dealt with it.

However if you still think the young bird is orphaned please contact your nearest vet or the RSPCA.
