Thanks for all the advice and encouragement. Your rescue story was both heartbreaking and inspirational. Each night, I too worry what I will find the next day when I go to feed the birds. We do what we can, I guess, just wish people would think more about the commitment needed before they...

Thanks for taking the time to write with your ideas. Whenever I go out to feed the birds, there are usually 2 or 3 people walking their dogs on the trails, or jogging. Sometimes there is an individual fishing. I'm sure I would attract attention, but I doubt anyone would object once they...

Sorry to repeat some of this info but, one of my co-workers, who knows someone at the local wildlife rescue center, was told that the birds would be "rescued" by forest preserve workers last Sunday, 11/20 after an unsuccessful attempt the previous Wednesday, 11/16. I don't really know if an...

Yes, I would love to take them, but currently I just live in a townhouse. There's barely room for me, the dog and finch (both pets have been in their new "forever" home with me for some time now.) Am just hoping for the best for these birds, as we all do. I will do my best to help get them to...

Thanks for interest and support.

OK - I am new to this forum. This is a new post about old subject from 9/18/11. I also stumbled upon and am trying to help these 5 stranded creatures! What is a PM? If you mean a message, I did message both the person who first posted this and talked about a rescue and also the person in...

Five of the original six birds are still there! Would the original person who put up the post please email me thru this forum? I live in about 5 miles from the forest preserve. I can get a group of friends together to do the rescue if you can tell me who the farmer is who was willing to take...
