Spring has sprung, the sun is shining, and the bir

Spring has sprung, the sun is shining, and the birds are… hitting your windows?! Oh no! 😢

We always get a lot of calls about window strikes. Unfortunately, millions of birds die every single year from hitting windows. Luckily, we can all do our part to help prevent window strikes.

Here’s how you can do your part:
- Since windows are practically invisible to birds, make them visible! Use decals, stickers, tape or even paint to help the birds see the window;
- Think about adding screens or netting to help the bird bounce off the window if they happen to fly in to it;
- Move your feeders and birdbaths away from any windows;
- You can even prevent window strikes from the inside by using blinds or curtains and turning off lights at night!

If it’s too late and a bird has already struck your window:
- Contain the bird immediately - put on some gloves and gently pick up the bird, placing it in a box or container with a towel. Birds are susceptible to roaming cats and predators, so it's best to contain it immediately!;
- Make sure the bird has enough ventilation and then put the box in a quiet, warm, dark place so it can recover;
- After around 30 minutes, you can check on the bird to see if it has recovered – if it has, take it outside so it can be released to back in to the wild;
- If the bird hasn't recovered yet, keep checking on it every 30 minutes;

After an hour or two, if it still seems injured and needs assistance, give our Wildlife 911 Hotline a call at 306-242-7177! ☎

#DYK – raccoons mating season can happen anywher

#DYK – raccoons mating season can happen anywhere from January to June? 🦝

The gestation period for raccoons is nine weeks and the mother can give birth to one to seven kits!

The newborn babies are actually like human babies – totally dependent on their parents! Kits are born deaf and blind and it takes about three months until they are independent from their mother. Baby raccoons are also very vocal and can even sound like crying babies!

Raccoons are very smart creatures and females are very protective of their young. If you think you may have a raccoon on your property – especially if it’s a female with babies – you may need some expert help to relocate them! Please don’t try to just block off raccoons from areas on your property without first assessing and seeing if there are babies present – a mother will use her dexterous paws to open doors, tear apart your property and do anything to get to her babies. Give our Wildlife 911 Hotline a call first and we can provide advice on what to do! ☎️

Last but 100% not least – we would like to thank

Last but 100% not least – we would like to thank our incredible, amazing, brilliant, and super wonderful volunteers! 😍😍

Without each and every one of you, we would not be able to keep this organization going. As we are going in to our busy season, we would just like to thank you all for your hard work and dedication. 🤩

We also know that volunteering with us isn’t always easy – we face some pretty tragic and difficult situations. Please remember that we are here for you! Never hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance or support – and don’t forget we have a great partnership with a counselling service, so if you ever need help, please let us know!

We truly can’t thank you all enough! 🥰

Today we would like to thank YOU! WRSOS has grown

April kicks off baby bird season – so get ready

April kicks off baby bird season – so get ready for all the cute little chirps! 🐣🥰

Baby bird season typically runs until September and all types of birds – from robins, to crows, to owls – have babies during throughout these next months.

Our Wildlife 911 Hotline commonly receives calls about baby birds who have fallen out of the nest. Do you think that if you touch a baby bird, the mother will reject it? That’s a complete myth! Birds actually have a pretty bad sense of smell so if you see a baby bird that has fallen out of it’s nest, please try to put it back! If the nest has fallen down, you can put that back in the area you found it too. If the nest has been destroyed, give us a call for advice on how you can make your own!

If you see an orphaned or injured baby bird, you can give our hotline a call for assistance. Don’t forget that parents often venture away from the nest to get food so wait a while to see if the parents come back!

A giant thank you to WILDNorth located in Edmonton

A giant thank you to WILDNorth located in Edmonton. Dale and Kim of WILDNorth have been helping us develop a solid wildlife rescue training program here in Saskatchewan! We are really looking forward to doing some online rescue training with them this spring.

We would like to thank Dale, Kim, and the team at WILDNorth for being so generous with their knowledge and the time they have spent assisting us! 🥰

Our next big thank you goes to Coyote Watch Canada

Our next big thank you goes to Coyote Watch Canada. 🤩

We started receiving an increase in calls on our Wildlife 911 Hotline regarding injured coyotes and foxes as well as callers wanting help using non-lethal methods in deterring these animals from their property. We decided it was time to reach out to the experts!

Coyote Watch Canada was so pleased to be working with a province full of volunteers and through them we have been able to organize Canid Response Training for our volunteers! This makes us the very first province in Canada to have trained people from border to border able to respond to calls regarding injured coyotes, foxes, and wolves. Furthermore, these trained volunteers can also help with non-lethal humane ways of dealing with these animals!

We would like to give a huge thanks to Lesley and her team for all the work they put into the training and for being our partners going forward! 😍

I’m sure you’ve seen our amazing new logo –

We have so much to be thankful for – as a non-profit organization we rely on so many individuals, businesses and partnerships to help us keep Saskatchewan’s wildlife wild. This week, we will be thanking all our incredible supporters! 🥰

To kick off the week, we would like to thank Impact Marketing Services! They are truly our biggest supporter and we can always count on them - anything we need they make it happen! 🤩

They are the suppliers of our branded gear and have made the public store a reality. Be sure to check out the Gear Store that is now open until April 11th - https://www.promoplace.com/228836/stores/WildlifeSupporters

We truly can't thank Sue, Terri, and their staff enough for all they do for WRSOS and wildlife in the province! 😍
