This post is from Lisa Beth Acton, a wildliferehabilitator in Accord, NY. Lisa brings her to all kinds of gatherings to spread the word of wildlife (see Xena’s Facebook page ). This summer Lisa raised three orphaned Common Ravens. They were not aware of wildlife laws, and thought they could raise and release them.
One day my wildliferehabilitator friend Marilyn brought me a black shoebox decorated with 6 or 8 quarter-sized holes. He had two major strikes against him: one, he had been found and raised alone by someone with little knowledge of birds, and so was imprinted. He thinks he’s a cuckoo,” said Marilyn. He was a quick study.)
It’s just that when summer is over and most wildliferehabilitators are fried, this is the kind of thing that will make most of us fall to our knees, choking with laughter, tears spurting from our eyes. Jayne Neville chimed in, inciting rehabbers to compare the biting ability of various seed-eaters, grackles, and parrots.
