We need each other to keep our environment healthy.

The animals are unintentionally being injured or orphaned as their habitats rapidly fade away into roads and buildings.  Please take a few minutes to learn how we help each other & how we can co-exist peacefully. It is, most often, is just understanding the roles that humans and animals have.

Wild Kritters of Niagara County is a non-profit group of State & Federally licensed volunteers who rescue injured & orphaned wildlife in distress.  Wild Kritters cares for and raises the animals to released back to the wild as quickly as possible.

With proper medical care, and intensive nursing practices most the animals rescued will be released back to their natural habitat.   This is often time intensive and each animal has unique needs because of injuries, nutritional status.  The day comes to release or "foster kids" and all of the efforts & time are worth it. Wild Kritters get animals native to our area along with the migratory birds that are federally protected,  and even some non-native animals . Yep several years ago we got an alligator,  the DEC helped get him back to a proper environment.

Spoon-feed your winged neighbors with this homemade birdseed dispenser

Materials

Clean 1-liter soda bottle
Craft knife
2 wooden spoons
small eye screw
Length of twine for hanging

Total Time Needed: 1 Hour
Instructions
 Start by drawing a 1/2-inch asterisk on the side of a clean 1-liter soda bottle, about 4 inches from the bottom. Rotate the bottle 90 degrees and draw another asterisk
2 inches from the bottom. Draw a 1-inch-wide circle opposite each asterisk, as shown.

Use a craft knife to slit the asterisk lines and cut out the circles (a parent's job). Insert a wooden spoon handle first through each hole and then through the opposite asterisk, as shown.

Remove the bottle cap and twist a small eye screw into the top of it for hanging.

Finally, fill your feeder with birdseed, recap it, and use a length of twine to hang it from a tree.
