To civilians who may have been puzzled by the wildlife crowd’s tossed-off references to peefas, modos or mice cubes, here is a beginner’s guide to Rehabberspeak.

This is what we need for birds, whose rights as government-protected species are violated every day by free-roaming cats. What birds need is their own SWAT team.
