Wing It

I found a baby animal. What do I do?

Most of the time it is best to do nothing! It may not look like it, but usually the mother is nearby and the baby has a far greater chance of survival being left alone rather than being taken by a human. Here are some specific FAQS about:


Baby Birds

Baby Bunnies

Baby Squirrels


If you need to contact a Tulsa area rehabber please continue reading below.

WING-IT (Wildlife In Need Group – In Tulsa) is a part of the Tulsa Audubon Society dedicated to the rehabilitation of orphaned, sick, injured or otherwise displaced wildlife with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into the wild.  The organization allows rehabbers to assist and support each other in the demanding commitment of rehabilitating wildlife.  It also provides a basis for educating the public regarding assisting wildlife in need and recruiting additional volunteers to work as licensed rehabilitators. 

Please note that we do not have any staff and do not have an office or other facility. We do the best we can to respond to questions or wildlife problems. But all of us have jobs and normal busy lives, and our rehabbers are busy many hours of the day caring for the wildlife we are rehabbing, so we cannot come to your house to rescue or remove wildlife. (Unfortunately there is no organization or agency that can come to your house for wildlife rescue requests in our area).

 If you need help removing wildlife from your house, Google "Tulsa Wildlife Removal" for some companies that specialize in that service. 
What if I find an injured bird or animal?
If you find an injured animal, refer to the FAQs below. If you need to speak to someone, a rehabber with WING-IT can be reached at 918-508-9607. We generally are not able to answer the call immediately, so if we don't answer please send a text rather than leave a voice mail and we will respond ASAP. TAS & WING-IT do not have staff to go to your house to pickup injured wildlife. But please do contact the WingIt number and we will provide guidance on what you can do and where you can take the animal if that is the appropriate action. 

Please do not take the animal directly to a vet, since most vets do not accept wildlife. If after talking with a WING-IT rehabber they determine it needs medical care they will direct you to a vet who is able to accept it at that time.
