How to Unstick a Bird


I have had several calls lately about people finding birds stuck on glue traps.  If you encounter that situation, swipe either canola oil or peanut butter gently underneath the bird to free it from the glue.  Then carefully wash the bird with Dawn to remove the glue completely.  Do all of this effort with as little handling of the bird as possible.  Remember wildlife are easily stressed when near humans so don’t prolong this process.  When you are finished put the bird somewhere safe where it can dry and take off when it is ready.

Thanks for caring about the critters,
