Further down the road, we reach a derelict building with a large veranda hidden among the trees – an abandoned hunting lodge (if I were in a situation to invest, I would choose to upgrade this into a luxury wildlife lodge).

The quail, guans, ducks and pheasant are hunted for their meat. Millions die each year that are hit by cars, crash into windows, wind turbine blades or at the paws of domestic cats. On top of being illegal to capture and sell birds in the country, it is also immoral. Little boys kill thousands of birds each year with slingshots.

It’s illegal to raise wild birds (even orphaned ones) without state and federal permits. If it is in immediate danger from cats, try and shoo it away from the cat and lock the cat up indoors (preferably for good) or at least while the bird learns to fly. Owls are a little different. Leave it be.

Lead remains in both fishing and hunting products, with strong lobbies that insist lead poisoning is not real, even as our facilities fill regularly with birds afflicted with it. Rehabilitators also cooperate with law enforcement on illegal activity, and even monitor emerging diseases in avian species.
