h e r e Birds are one of the most common
sig

o f spring’s
sp
prin arrival. In early spring they begin

A Th
A:
The simple answer is NO. As much _________ as it would
be to raise a baby bird of your own, it’s best to let the young
bird parents ________ the little peeper. In fact, it’s actually
bird’s
______________ for you to do so, and you could get a fine
from your local wildlife management agency!
he main goal of every baby bird is to eat, eat
and eat some more. Since they are growing,
they need lots of protein to build new muscles
and grow flight feathers. Some parent birds are
known to bring food hundreds of times each
day to the nest – something you definitely don’t
have time to do. That’s why you need to leave
feeding baby birds to their parents!
Since you can’t raise a baby bird on your own, what should
you do? Here are a few ideas:
Call a local wildlife ___________ to help. They may
take the bird and raise it properly.
With your parent’s ________, put the bird back in
its nest. (The old belief that mother birds won’t accept
a baby covered with a human’s scent is false!)
