It's Baby Season

Wow, it's been a busy time here at Wild At Heart!  Baby season is upon us in a big way!  It's baby baby baby around here right now, and let me tell you them Great Horned babies sure know how to keep a Kestrel up at night!  Just yesterday, 8 new babies came in and we received 48 calls!  We aren't even counting the number of eggs in the incubator right now!

Great Horns, Red Tails and Kestrels Oh My! (Plus many others too)

The Great Horned Owls were the first to come in (and they are still coming!)  Our first baby arrived at Wild At Heart on March 16th.  This poor little guy fell from his tree in Chandler but thanks to wonderful people like his finder, he made his way safely to us here.

In the last month 46 babies have found their way to Wild At Heart and that number doesn't include the eggs in the incubator!  We now have Great Horned babies, Barn Owl babies (maybe you saw our post about Wynken, Blynken and Nod), Western Screech Owl babies and some baby hawks as well.

That's a lot of mouths for our foster parent birds to feed.  These babies eat a lot!  My big humans Sam and Bob could really use your help providing food for all these little ones.  Please consider donating, all donations go straight to the care of these precious (they made me say that!) little ones.  I think they are noisy, but hey that's a Kestrel's life.
