Lillie Birds Wildlife Rehabilitation

According to one particular celebrity groundhog that saw his shadow this morning we have another 6 weeks of winter.
Well, we will see about that.😆
What is actually important is knowing and loving these charismatic back yard friends!

Voles are commonly misidentified as moles or even “field mice” because of being found in their topsoil and leaf litter dwelling habits. They are primarily grass, seed, fungi, and root eating rodents that often help to contribute to habitat restoration and stability in grasslands and meadows.

Lillie Birds admits squirrels of different species to account for our highest rate of admissions every year. We routinely care for chipmunks, grey squirrels, and southern flying squirrels year round.

Today we celebrate the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for the dedicated work he did to change the world with the hopes of fulfilling his dream of equality. The Lillie Birds Family holds fast on and promotes these values of acceptance, equality, and all acts of kindness in our everyday mission.

The most remarkable way birds endure freezing temperatures is through a process called counter-current circulation in their legs. In this system, warm blood flowing from the body through the arteries transfers heat to the cooler blood returning through the veins.
