#Invasive Burmese pythons are spreading fast, gobbling up native #wildlife, and may soon reach beyond the Everglades. But Project Hopper aims to curb their spread by luring out pythons with a decoy bunny. Back the bunnies here 🐇: tiny.cc/8e9b101

At our recent town hall, many of the comments & questions were heavy – so many are struggling to feel safe & make ends meet. Yet some visitors made the evening brighter: Portland’s Frog Brigade.
We’re grateful for all they do lift our spirits, especially in difficult times.

Happy Wildlife Conservation Day! Help conserve birds by keeping your cats indoors, putting anti-collision decals on your windows, using lead-free ammunition and fishing tackle, taking down sport nets when not in use, avoiding rodent poisons, and planting natives in your yard!

Ouch that left a mark!
Window collisions are the second highest cause of mortality for North American birds. If you have a bird hit your window, get it contained in a box right away and then call your local wildlife rehabilitator. This Barred Owl is recovering in our hospital
While the iiwi may be the #WordOfTheDay, it is important to know they are close to #extinction because of avian malaria spread by #invasive mosquitos. Visit birdsnotmosquitoes.org to help prevent the iiwi from disappearing from the dictionary.
An iiwi flew past my friend on his balcony in Hawaii and it was all he could talk about when he returned. 🌴This #WordOfTheDay refers to a native Hawaiian bird with a red body, black wings, and a pinkish-red curved bill. It's also known as a Hawaiian honeycreeper! What are your favorite animal names?

It’s almost turkey time! 🦃 Try turkeyfish–otherwise known as lionfish–for Thanksgiving this year. Native to the Indo-Pacific, it is invasive in the Atlantic and Caribbean, so eat ‘em up!

It's America Recycles Day! From plastic and aluminum to paper and electronics, recycling helps keep tons of materials out of landfills, saves natural resources, and reduces pollution. Hugnin, the White-necked Raven, is a master at recycling. If a bird can do it, so can we!

With fall in full swing, coyotes are out and about to finding mates and foraging for food to prepare for the chillier months ahead! 🐺
Healthy coyotes avoid people, but are curious. Please maintain a safe distance from coyotes if you see one and do not leave food outside.

Did you know that red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal? If you’re looking for a red-eyed tree frog during the day, you may find them sleeping, well hidden among the leaves of trees. They choose to come out at night because there are fewer predators and an abundance of insects to eat

What’s a real treat with no tricks? Properly disposing of your pumpkins after Halloween 🎃
Feeding your old jack-o-lantern to wild animals can lead to sickness, death, and an increased risk of conflicts with people (it is also illegal). More info: cpw.state.co.us/feeding-wild…

Great to hear a happy end for a released pet.💚 Usually pets released into the environment suffer and experience a painful death. I'm glad this budgie was saved before predators or extreme weather got her. Visit dontletitloose.com for alternatives to release. #DontLetItLoose

Please compost carved pumpkins after Halloween - don’t leave them in the countryside or your garden, where they quickly go mouldy and could harm wildlife.

Bleach, WD-40, Borax, fungicides, ammonia, and insecticides—these are all common methods to preserve pumpkins until #Halloween. ☠️ If you care about #wildlife then please don't feed them your leftover pumpkins! Compost pumpkins instead. 🎃 #NationalPumpkinDay

Meet Jake, a Red-tailed Hawk who was raised by humans as a chick. Because of that, he imprinted on people and can’t live in the wild. His story is a reminder, if you find injured wildlife, contact a licensed rehabilitator. #WildlifeRehab #Hawks #HelpingWildlife
