It is illegal under federal and state law for any person to injure or possess a
bird of prey. What to do: Injured birds should be turned over to a licensed
rehabilitator or veterinarian immediately.
How to Handle an Injured Raptor: - 1. Find a lightweight item such as a towel, blanket, jacket, etc. large enough to cover the birds.
- 2. If possible, approach the birds from behind. Cover and restrain quickly, being careful of the talons and
beak.
- 3. When the bird calms down, carefully fold the wings against the body.
- 4. Place in a well-ventilated cardboard box slightly larger than the bird.
- 5.
Note the geographic location where the bird was found. This information will be helpful when the bird is ready for release.
- 6. Call a raptor center contact person immediately for help.
