Wildlife Animal Services
We provide services for birds and wildlife injuries. If you find a wild animal that is not seeming well, we recommend you call one of the Rehabilitators listed below. Many times they can make recommendations for the animal’s needs depending on the circumstances.
We work with local rehabilitators to ensure that wildlife are cared for and released back into their environment. You can always contact the Mass Wildlife for any concerns of an animal.

A few things to keep in mind if a wildlife bird falls out of a nest, many times the rehabilitator suggest to not handle the bird and to keep an eye on it, rather than remove the bird from it’s environment. In a case like this call for advise.
We are also hearing of new cases of the Avian Flu with particularly, Eagles, Crows, Canadian Geese and migrating birds coming to Mass. Most birds are scavenger feeding birds that are spreading the virus. We do recommend to use cautions if you see a sick bird and or a dead bird in your environment. Tufts University has been working on testing these birds along with the state tracking these cases. Avian Flu can be harmful to Humans and Caution is advised. You can look online for more state updates.
