Animal shelters (Do *not* give them the animal) 2. Fish and game department. 3. Animal control 4. American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals 5. Any City or County office that sounds good from the name in the phone book. I know this probably only applies to the USA, but. Who you call first is not important, try them till you get a rehabber to call. There are lots of rehabbers out there, they can't afford to advertise but they are known. Young and baby birds and animals need to be fed frequently. Often every couple of hours during the daytime. I don't know how rehabbers do it, it's their only life. Hope this helps.
