Animal First Aid

[Catherine]

Quote:However, once I found a baby bird fallen from a nest in my garden. Mindful of what to do, I left it where it was and didn't touch it. But sadly, the next day it had died! Perhaps it would have died anyway.

Likely the little bird was out of the nest because something was wrong. Animals seem to be able to sense a problem and know when to let a baby die. It is just hard to trust their judgement. We want to fix everything.

Practical Wildlife Care sounds like a good book. It woild be good to have as a handbook.
I have heard of St Tiggywinkles. Don't they rescue Hedgehogs. So where does the name tiggywinkles come from?
