Brenna found a tiny hooded merganser in a small puddle of water, trapped in the bottom of her drained swimming pool… Nicholas discovered two little wood ducks who had fallen into a window well and couldn’t get out… Janna spotted a mother mallard and her 14 ducklings in her backyard pool. The family needed to be brought to the safety of a nearby body of water… The wee orphans are receiving supportive care and growing fast at Toronto Wildlife Centre, spending their days nibbling on fresh greens and nutritious pellets or splashing around in their watery enclosures – peep in on them!

Many songbirds are brought to Toronto Wildlife Centre needing critical care after being injured by cats left to roam outdoors. These unsupervised, beloved pets pose a serious danger to small wildlife and face many risks themselves, from predation to being struck by cars. The good news is there’s a safer way to satisfy your cat’s natural instincts while helping to protect wildlife! Keep your kitty entertained at home with the vibrant colours of Baltimore orioles, blackburnian warblers, Northern parulas, and more. These little patients are receiving treatment after encounters with cats or collisions with windows, and are recovering well. Get closer than ever before and watch their lively movements, fluttering wings, and foraging skills. Did you know that watching and sharing videos like this helps support the care of sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals at TWC? Every view is a simple way for you and your kitties to have fun together while making a difference for our feathered neighbours. 💚 Enjoyed this video?

Cat TV That Helps Wildlife | 60 Minutes of Rescued Songbirds
Who’s hungry for a little WILD competition?! We’re putting our chefs to the test! At Toronto Wildlife Centre, mealtime means preparing dozens of specialized diets for wild patients with vastly different nutritional needs. A recovering hawk is fed protein-rich meat. Hungry bats chatter impatiently while awaiting their mealworms. Tiny opossums require tube-feedings of specialized formula multiple times a day before they can graduate to a menu of smelt, fruits, and vegetables. These orphaned red foxes and raccoons were admitted after they had been found hungry and alone – but now they’re receiving all they need to fill their bellies and grow. Whether a patient weighs less than a golf ball or has a wingspan wider than your arms, the right food helps provide the strength needed to heal and eventually return to the wild. It's a lot of meal prep, but for wild patients every bite matters – and TWC’s team had some fun putting together a variety of ingredients for these curious patients! Who can make the most enticing feast for a baby fox or raccoon? Watch these eager youngsters decide for themselves. Enjoyed this video?
