𝓗𝓪𝓹𝓹𝔂 𝓜𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓼 𝓓𝓪𝔂 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓐𝓭𝓪𝓲𝓻'𝓼 𝓐𝓷𝓲𝓶𝓪𝓵𝓼! White-tailed Deer fawns are born from late May through early June. Usually a doe, or female deer, has twins. Occasionally, a single fawn or triplets are born. Fawns are born with their eyes open and within hours are able to stand on wobbly legs. From birth the fawns are left alone for much of the day while their mothers go off to feed. This reduces the likelihood that the mother will attract a predator to the fawn. The camouflaged fawn knows to lie down and be very still, to avoid attracting predators. Mothers generally return only at dusk and dawn to move and feed fawns. The best thing you can do if you find a healthy fawn is to simply leave it alone. Quietly take a few pictures if you’d like, and then carefully step away and stay away. If the fawn is on your own property, you might also want to help protect it by bringing your pets inside until the mother has returned. If you are concerned that the doe is not feeding the fawn, you may go back the next day (24 hours) to check if the fawn is still there. If the fawn is gone, the mother has likely retrieved the fawn, and they have moved on. “Don’t be a fawn-kidnapper” In most cases, a fawn found alone has not been abandoned and is not helpless – it’s a young animal still receiving care from its mother. Despite our well-meaning intentions, the best chance for survival of a fawn is to leave it in its mother’s care. Learn the difference when a fawn needs your distance, not your help! If a fawn truly does need help, you’ll usually know: ▫️Mama deer is dead (hit by a car, for instance) ▫️Fawn will be visibly thin and dehydrated ▫️Visibly injured (open wounds, broken legs) ▫️Ears will be curled and it may be covered in fly eggs or maggots ▫️Following humans around in confusion and desperation. In these cases do not move the fawn, CALL a licensed rehabilitator for advice on the next steps to take. Fawns kidnapped from the wild often die even with the best care, and almost always die when raised by people with no training or experience. Individuals without rehabilitation training and permits should never attempt to raise a baby deer and should especially avoid feeding cow’s milk to fawns. Despite best efforts, most deer hand-raised by private citizens will die or need to be euthanized. Fawns also commonly carry bacteria and parasites, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, both of which can infect humans. If you see a baby deer that looks abandoned, don't kidnap it. If you think you have found an abandoned fawn give Adair's a call and we'll connect you to a state licensed rehabilitator. 🦌 See comments for some Missouri licensed Rehabers. #motherknowsbest #leavewildlifewild #MothersDay

Unwanted guest using your boat? Canada geese will be nesting through the end of June and one of their favorite places to lay eggs is on boat covers. Geese are federally protected migratory birds; subject to federal and state regulations. It is a federal offense to disturb a nest with eggs. Adair's can acquire the proper registration and permit for removal of eggs & nest, addling eggs, and migratory bird depredation to help mitigate your nuisance avian problems. We can also help you with habitat modification, exclusion, and aversion treatments to manage all nuisance wildlife problems.

Typically docile, Opossums are good to have around because they, like many other mammals, like to eat lots of insects (i.e. worms & roaches) and rodents (i.e. mice & rats). They will also eat snakes, including venomous ones. It is also worth noting that there are many types of zoonotic diseases that are carried by opossums that can be transmitted to humans and pets, such as leptospirosis, tuberculosis, salmonella, spotted fever, toxoplasmosis, and trichomoniasis. Opossums are also the host animal that transmits a protozoan parasite that causes Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) a neurologic disease in horses. Because of their trash-diving and scavenger tendencies, opossums are usually infested with fleas, mites, and lice. If you have any Nuisance Wild Animals in your home or business, it is best to deal with it immediately. Call a Certified Wildlife Control Operator at Adair's to safely remove and wildlife proof your home and property from future invasion.www.fieldandstream.com/conservation/possums-dont-eat-ticks/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook... adairs-animals.com#opossum #marsupial #fleabag #playingpossum #nuisanceanimalcontrol At the USFWS, we always use the best available science in all our decision making. Turns out, our social media staff isn't always as up to date as our biologists! A recent Facebook post about opossums contained some old information about their tick consumption. A more recent field study on opossum concluded ticks are not part of their preferred diet. Also, while the opossum is not a rabies vector species, all mammals can still be infected by the disease - please never handle wildlife. Thank you to our keen-eyed staff for ensuring we always share the best and latest information
