I had an injured blue jay and I called Humane Indiana Wildlife. They were so nice and compassionate about the bird. Even though they were getting ready to close, they still admitted the injured bird into their care
Staff was very friendly and helpful! We dropped off a baby bunny that had been injured when my husband was cutting the grass. They gave me an intake number so that we could call back and check on him, which I found comforting because we were worried about him. When we finished with the intake process, we were invited to see their permanent animal residents on the premises, which was really cool! We plan on gifting needed supplies so they can continue to help Mother Nature's critters <3. I'm so thankful for this place! I didn't even know they existed before today. Keep up the good work!
They were very friendly when I called about an injured rabbit in my yard. I brought it to them, and they were very informative about the situation, and they were very honest. I was able to call to get an update on the outcome, which I greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the rabbit's injuries were too severe, so they had to euthanize. However, it's just good to know that they are there to help and try their best to save animals if they're able.
My children and I rescued two baby finches! A hawk had gotten their nest, knocking it down. The mom was dead and one of the babies had also been killed by the hawk. There were two babies left huddled together chirping loud and continuously! Which is what got my 6yr old daughters attention! We had the babies for a few days and then took them here!! They were so nice and I felt at ease leaving them there! My kids also got to see all their long-term animals and were told why they had to stay in the facility and couldn't be released! They got to watch one of the workers feed all the birds too! We not only left a baby bird somewhere safe, but we learned a lot too!!
Very important work done by kind and experienced staff. The three ambassador birds that I met (as part of a Indiana Dunes Birding Festival Trip)- a Screech Owl, American Kestrel, and Wood Duck- all looked bright, healthy, and well-cared for. Karen, the (male) Wood Duck was a character!
Awesome place with full hearted people! We found in our backyard a young crane in winter. The poor baby was too cold and too weak to stand on his feet. We brought it to HIW and they took care of it right away. Unfortunately we found him too late and he was too far gone, so he didn't survive the night. At least he passed in comfortable,warm place with full belly :( It is a place to visit with kids cause other than helping injured wildlife one can educate yourself and your kids about native species. Check out HIW website for details.
