  Wildlife rehabilitation for small bird? Hello! Does anyone know of a wildlife rehabilitation center in westchester or nearby? I found an injured house sparrow and haven't been able to figure out where to take it.

  If you're able to drive to NYC (upper west side), this is exactly the kind of thing that the [Wild Bird Fund](https://www.wildbirdfund.org/) does. A lot of people take wild injured sparrows or pigeons to them for rehabilitation. If you want to stay more local, you can use the DEC website to find a local rehabilitator: [https://www.dec.ny.gov/cfmx/extapps/sls\_searches/index.cfm?p=live\_rehab](https://www.dec.ny.gov/cfmx/extapps/sls_searches/index.cfm?p=live_rehab) You can also reach out to the [Center for Wildlife](https://www.centerforwildlife.org/rescue) in Yonkers - they have a hotline for this.

  It's an adult red tailed hawk. You can call the Wild Bird Fund for assistance and they can give you advice: https://www.wildbirdfund.org/

  Jen D. asked:

  We just found this bird in front of 67 Park Terrace East. Was being stalked by a cat, looks like a canary, seems sick or injured. Can anyone direct us toward someone who knows about bird rehab who can take the bird or anyone who would be willing to take this bird? I have a prey-driven dog in a 1BR apt. It is currently in my bathroom. Need help ASAP. Thx!

  Found this little guy on my door step this morning... I believe he may be injured since he can't stand up right for more than a few seconds. Anyone know of a vet that's good with birds?

  If you bring it to ACC they will place the bird in appropriate hands. Whether at a sanctuary or wild bird fund.
