HALLOWEEN DECOR ALERT! please please! Do not use fake webbing. It's dangerous to wildlife including birds, bats and small mammals. Yesterday, we received a Red-bellied Woodpecker at our facility. Woodpeckers have extra-long tongues and in the birds' desperate attempt to escape the netting, he traumatically injured his foot and tongue. Sadly, he had to be humanely euthanized. (Do not view slide number four if you are squeamish). If you've already put out fake webs or decorations, please remove and dispose of them carefully in the trash. If you haven't decorated yet, please consider natural, solid, and non-entangling materials that protect local wildlife. #halloweendecorations #nativewildlife #halloweendecor #BirdSafety #wildlifeofinstagram #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferehabilitator
