When a baby animal is alone, they are not necessarily abandoned or orphaned. In most cases, the parent of the animal is nearby gathering food or building a nest, and will return sooner or later. This is especially true for rabbits, squirrels, and raccoons. Birds are one of the most common animals to see alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find a baby bird with feathers, it is simply a fledgling and its mother is close by watching over them. If you find a bird that does not have any feathers, it has likely fallen out of its nest, so you can choose to put it back if you know where the nest is located. Do not worry about human smell, as this is a myth and the mother will still welcome their baby back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Not Keep Wild Animals as Pets<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Although it is difficult to shy away from a cute baby animal\nthat seems to be orphaned or abandoned, you must control the urge to take them\nin as a pet. Not only do most wild animals die in captivity, the responsibility\nto keep one requires special permits, exotic veterinarian care, specialized\nsupplies and provisions, and more. It is actually illegal to domesticate several\ntypes of wildlife in Indiana without the proper state (and federal, if applicable)\npermits. Additionally, wild animals are known carriers of several infectious\ndiseases and parasites, such as Rabies, Distemper, fleas, ticks, lice, roundworms,\ntapeworms, and even tuberculosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Do if You Find a Stray Animal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, a lone baby animal is most likely not\nabandoned, and the mother will come back for it soon. So, if you find a stray\nbaby animal, just leave it be and let nature take its course. This applies to\ninjured and orphaned animals too. If the presence of a group of orphaned\nanimals on your property is alarming to you, simply contact a local Indianapolis\nwildlife removal company for safe, non-lethal extraction and relocation\nservices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
