Yep, the coonie gang at the Rainbow Wildlife Rescue is at it again. They are growing like weeds and are learning to fish, catch crickets, and all the fun stuff raccoons do. Once they have learned everything and are old enough, they will be released back into the wild.

Sleeping Time at the Rainbow Wildlife Rescue
The raccoons like to squeeze into the space between the fly screen and the hardware cloth and camo net and end up in the funniest positions!
Mary and Mo are 2 white winged doves that were raised and released here at the Rainbow Wildlife Rescue. But they are sticking around. Mary helps me raise other little doves and watches over them on the outside once released. Most of them left, but not Mary:

How to feed an Orphaned Infant Squirrel
Warning! It is illegal in most US States to be in the possession of a wild squirrel. By law you are required to turn it over to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator!
This movie is intended for those folks that are not bound by US law and want to help out a little baby that otherwise will slowly die.

Annie's Introduction, 6 orphaned Raccoons growing up
We have a newbie at the Rainbow Wildlife Rescue! Annie is a 10 weeks old raccoon that has been living with a family in a house since she was found at the age of 1 week. She has never seen another raccoon or even was outside for long.
It is my job now to get her used to her own kind and more independent of humans, so they all can be eventually released back into the wild.
Here a couple of funny snapshots I took yesterday. This is where most of the raccoons sleep at night. It's too hot up there during the day hours:

Orphaned Raccoons learn how to fish
I added some live minnows to the pool yesterday afternoon and watched them having fun:
Emergency Baby Songbird Food
I have received many baby birds this year that have been fed the wrong stuff in the wrong way and as a result, the bird died.
In order to prevent that, I have made a short video on how to mix up the right baby bird food from dry kitten chow.
There are variations to it, for example you can use dog food too if you don't have kittenfood handy, or use calcium powder instead of cuttle bone, and it's ok to leave out the bird vitamins if you don't have any at the moment.
If you have questions, please join our Pets and Wildlife Forum and ask them there.
