Spring Cleaning
Welcome to spring. At All Creatures Great and Small, spring clean-up happened during winter. All cages,walls and floors were cleaned, gearing up for the busy season ahead. Towels, paper goods and medications are being donated or purchased with donated money.
Cavity nesting birds (woodpeckers,chickadees,nuthatches and some owls) plus squirrels and rabbits are busy already. Mates must be chosen, as well as a defined territory located. Seasoned parents will decide on an area that is fairly safe and provides ample food. Still storms will occur trees will be cut down and accidents will happen to young fledglings and babies. This is where All Creatures Great and Small comes on duty. In 2006, we were proud to release, back into the wild, over 60% of the animals brought into the rehab center.
If you find an injured bird or mammal, please call our new phone number (410)-740-5096.
All Creatures Great and Small looks forward to spring and assisting injured wildlife.
