Image is of an American Robin bathing in a bird bath. Text on image says, "How to help wildlife stay cool" and under that it lists, "Put out shallow dishes of fresh water", "Keep bird baths clean and refill them every 2-3 days", "Leave a small area of your yard a little wild", "Water gardens early in the morning or later in the evening", "Avoid trimming trees or shrubs during peak heat", and "Check driveways, patios, and roads before moving your car."

We have the most amazing support system here at Salthaven. Fellow animal lovers who are willing to go that extra mile to help wildlife in need. 🪱 One of our more memorable tales comes from a father and son who chewed on earthworms to feed to a bird they rescued – and that’s only half the story!
