For a comprehensive explanation of what to do when you find a baby bird in your yard, please read Baby Birds 101 . Many young birds perish needlessly every year at the hands of well-meaning people. There are definitely things that should be done and definitely things that should not be done! Before you bring a bird to the Wildlife Center or call us during our very hectic summer season, please take a few minutes to read Baby Birds 101 . Always remember to rescue but don't kidnap healthy fledglings! |

The Wildlife Center only admits about a dozen barn swallows each year, but at least once a week throughout this summer someone tells me a story about their clan of barn swallows, e-mails photos of their swallow nests or asks how to attract them.
In early May a Lubbock resident wrote to say a pair of barn swallows zeroed in on a single metal bolt under their porch and decided to construct their nest around it. He wrote again May 15th and sent a photo – their mud nest was indeed built around the large bolt. He wasn’t sure if they could pull that off, but in no time at all, the swallow home was completed and ready for occupancy. |
