CROW Calls for Handmade Nests to Aid Orphaned Wildlife

provided to The Santiva Chronicle

The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) is seeking handmade knitted or crocheted nests for orphaned and injured baby birds and small mammals in their care. The needed sizes are 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch nests. They should be made with tight stitches, a soft but sturdy construction, and machine-washable materials such as acrylic or cotton yarn. Please avoid fuzzy yarns, large holes, decorations, or anything that could snag tiny claws or toes.

These nests help provide warmth, comfort, and support for vulnerable wildlife during rehabilitation. All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible. Donations may be delivered to the CROW Visitor Education Center, 3883 Sanibel Captiva Road, Sanibel, FL 33957, or mailed to CROW, P.O. Box 150, Sanibel, FL 33957. For more information, please contact Pam at (239) 472-3644, ext. 229.
