I asked a group of wildlife rehabilitators: “What are some of the Worst Bird Myths? Rehabbers are very responsive, although constantly living under the gun makes us sometimes vent about species that aren’t necessarily the ones in question.

My work as a wildlife rehabilitator over the past forty-five years has allowed me a unique perspective on a disturbing trend.

They were very curious, but unusually gentle.

A more problematic conflict is that fought over what to do with damaging introduced species.
