Our first flamingo rescue!
We received a call about a flamingo that had gone into the bush from a side road near Salt Pond. Thanks to Sherri Moyle, who braved the catch & keep thorns, managed to get a pillow case over the bird and brought it safely to her screened-in porch where she offered it water until we arrived.
Besides treating some scratches on its legs and one wing, it seemed ok.
Sherri helped us transport it to a nearby pond, where the bird joined its family of approximately 25 other beautiful flamingos!
We don't know why the bird had become separated from its flock, but we were glad to get them back together and Sherri will continue to monitor them. Thank you, Sherri!

Good morning!
Is anyone going to St. Thomas today and able to get us frozen chicken livers at the Food Center in Red Hook? They are also at The Market next to the big K-Mart.
We couldn't find any on St. John.
We have a kestrel with an injured wing and isn't taking the ground beef or steak, so hoping she will be interested in the livers.
We will reimburse you, of course!
Please call or text us if you are able to help!

Thank you!

FOSTERS NEEDED!! It's all the best parts of having a dog without the committment!

A member of our community passed away last night leaving his 3 dogs homeless. We are already full and don't have space for all of them.

We are asking anyone able to foster a dog through the summer months until temperatures drop and we are able to send dogs to the states again. We need to make some room so we can give these new dogs the care they need.

Please contact us at 340-774-1625, email [email protected] or pm our page.

Welcome to our new Wildlife Warriors! What a fun time we had exploring empathy, compassion, and kindness to wildlife - being kind to the "uglies", being VERY quiet around wild animals and not chasing, scaring or hurting them. Animal trivia tested our knowledge of invasive, nocturnal species and the role and benefits of wildlife. We learned to identify local species types, track signs, and water sources.

We learned ways to help including Don’t Stop (reasons not to feed donkeys), Water for Wildlife, Storm Corn, Window Clings (to prevent bird strikes), Musical Cats (collars with bells for birds), Bait & Switch (safe rodent control), and donkey de-worming.

Thank you to all who participated!

St. John Wildlife Rehabilitation is an all-volunteer, charitable nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that was formed to provide assistance and care for sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife and to promote stewardship and compassion for the wildlife that call St. John home.

Our volunteers are deworming the donkeys this weekend so you may see them stop and it may appear they are feeding them but they are giving them the deworming medicine. They are also marking them with a pink mark near their ear (as best we can!) so the team knows that donkey has been treated. It is non-toxic and will wash off.
As a reminder please don't stop or feed the donkeys for everyone's safety and the donkey's health.

These scaley-naped pigeon siblings were found on a tree limb that was cut down. Using a man-made nest, they were placed back in another part of the tree, but their parents did not return. Our volunteers cared for them until they were old enough to be released. A soft release of a fledgling can take several weeks as they learn to find food and adapt to the wild. Please be careful when trimming and cutting down trees.

Water for Wildlife
The island is starting to experience dry conditions, and wildlife could benefit from additional sources of water. A bucket of water can serve as a useful resource for animals. Here are some important tips:
Place a stick in any water bucket to allow birds and other small animals a way to exit the bucket safely.
Refresh the water regularly and maintain its cleanliness.

If you are interested in helping, we have donated 5-gallon buckets and troughs available. Text us at 340-643-9453 (WILD) and we will be glad to provide you one.
Your support for wildlife is appreciated!

These two baby Zenaida doves were found on St. Thomas and ferried over by Dr. Heidi for care by one of our volunteers on St. John. It takes a village! They were hand fed until they were ready for self feeding and were released back into the wild today!
