If you find injured native wildlife,
please call the Liberty Wildlife Hotline:

480-998-5550

Does not include cats and dogs - for problems with an injured cat or dog, call Maricopa County Animal Care and Control at 602-506-PETS.   Feral cats and dogs live on the reservation and on the campus.  It is best to just leave them alone, unless there is a problem (danger to humans). 

NOTE ABOUT THE BURROWING OWLS:
If you see little owls on the ground, or in drainage pipes, do not worry. These are Burrowing Owls and it is normal for them to live on the ground.  We have documented about 12 nesting pairs on the SCC campus.  To learn more about this species, click here.

NOTE ABOUT BABY BIRDS ON THE GROUND - ALL OTHER SPECIES:
If you find baby birds on the ground, try your best to put them back into a nest.  You may have heard a myth that if you touch baby birds, then the mother will reject them.  This is a NOT true.  Birds have very poor sense of smell: if you replace baby birds to their nest, the mother WILL continue to care for them.
If you cannot locate the nest, but the fledglings have feathers and appear to be able to move on their own, then it's best to leave them alone or place them in the nearest low bush for protection from sun and predators. The mother may still feed the babies on/near the ground. 
However, if the baby birds are naked (no feathers), then they are unable to regulate their own body temperature.  In this case, they should be taken to a licensed rehabilitation facility like Liberty Wildlife (480-998-5550).
