Our Mission
Founded in 1997 in Cedar City Utah, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, wildlife and environmental education, and the development of the Cedar Canyon Nature Park.
Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release
The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (SWF) cares for more than 100 sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife annually. Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal, but for those that cannot be released due to disabilities, the Cedar Canyon Nature Park (CCNP) can provide them with a permanent home in a natural setting while enhancing our visitors educational experience at the park.
Informing, Educating and Inspiring
The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy.

Wow! A whole lot of respect for Mama Blackbirds! All those babies must drive them insane! Wonderful video, thanks.
Noisy, noisy!
My rescued startling just flew today, thanks for the video now I know she’ll be ok
My goodness. No wonder the parents are run ragged! They're adorable. ❤️🌝
And happily off to the wild...
My neighbor has a nest of blackbirds in their tree trunk and I’ve been looking after them. One fell out of the nest and I put it back in! Made me feel amazing.
I was wondering, thanks!! You have WAY more patience than I! Too cute!
I just wake up about 2am.What a wonderful was to start my day. Just thank you for sharing you're love.
Thanks Albert, glad you enjoyed this video.
I can imagine the relief of mom and dad black bird when the end of summer is in sight.
Noisy, hungry and adorable. I don't even think they swallow. Susan is wonderful with all her babies. Thanks Susan!
Hungry, hungry!
they sure look like starlings to me
I’m pretty sure they are
They look like that when thay are young thell get there black when there older if there male's
Christ on a bike, they look absolutely nothing like starlings. They are blackbirds, end of. Google "starling" and take in the brilliance of their plumage. Male Blackbirds are black with a yellow beak, female and their young are plain old drab brown.
That’s exactly what I thought. I’ve worked in bird rehab for years and raised hundreds of starlings and blackbirds. These are starlings 😬
@@missskinny7708 they are starlings!
blackbirds are so funny and cute. I feed them all year round with dried mealworms in my garden in Germany, i have about 30 blackbirds living in my garden...
Wow! Those little guys are hungry! Cute :)
nomnomnom
Adorable babies, and great job
Wow! That's so cool that they go wild so automatically.
They're all mouth, so cute 😍
Big enough for sure!
Wow, how does one keep track of who was fed and who wasn't, lol? So many little beaks to feed.
They help! ;-)
That was funny😊 so true!! lol
You can look at their crop ( right side of their neck). When they are you g, you can see the food through their skin, later, you need to look for a bulge through the feathers
Beautiful! I’ am thankful! ❤️🙂
Thanks for your interest
Awesome!
Thanks a lot for the feeding info! :)
I raised 2 of these and even after eating on their own they both come fly to my shoulder every time I leave the house lol
Really cool..! (from France).
Glad you enjoyed! Greetings to France!
They look like starlings to me
They are they purposely mislabeled the video because they are an invasive species.
Wow!! Hungry babies wanna EAT!! Cute as a button tho!!😀
Agreed!
They are like little dinasaurs😄
I think those are starlings
Good kids. They don't show tantrums when others get more food than them.
What type of food do you give them, I found a baby blackbird and I need to take care of it
I’m doing the same right now . What food / how often and how much heat did you give them?
@@robinjayasvasti9598i know im a year late but could you answer if you remember how you did it please
I live in Springville in Utah county. A nearby neighbor was trying to find the owner of a bird in her yard. It looked like it had a broken wing. Turns out from comments from another friend that it's a Western Tanager. I suggested she contact animal control or the police, and they would know who to call. I don't know what ended up happening, but I know she had a hard time finding someone to rescue the bird. In the future, who should I suggest someone call?
Hi Lora thanks for your interest and concerns. You can contact us at info@gowildlife.org or visit our site for more contact details: www.gowildlife.org
Who needs a security system when you have several Tupperware containers full of baby black birds XD
This is one way to win the popularity contest give a bunch of baby blackbirds with no mom food.
There is that...
These things keep getting in my house
Common starlings introduced to areas such as Australia or North America, where other members of the genus are absent, may affect native species through competition for nest holes. In North America, chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, purple martins and other swallows may be affected.[99][115] In Australia, competitors for nesting sites include the crimson and eastern rosellas.[116] For its role in the decline of local native species and the damages to agriculture, the common starling has been included in the IUCN List of the world's 100 worst invasive species.
With what did u feed them ?
I have just found a baby blackbird in our front yard in Melbourne Australia but I cannot see how he/she got there as I cannot find a nest. I would love hints of what you are feeding yours and when they start getting those pellet type things. I have some powder hand rearing formula from the pet food store but not sure of the best way to give it to him. Is the narrow end of a spoon okay? Thank you for any hints with regard to timing of types of food and when he should start to go into a cage in the backyard. Thank you so much!
What do u feed them?.. Anyways, good video!
When can I let the one I've hand raised outside to stay ?
Hi I would like to know what type of food are you giving in 5min 30sec of the video?
Aren't they cute lill screaming dino's? 😁🇳🇱
Hi! I was wondering what food you are giving them? For now a give him a “liquide/worm/gecko food” and he’s going to have a solid meal soon!
Thank you
Looks like wax worms
Hi, I’m raising blackbirds at the moment. I gave them soaked dog food and now they’re all on the mealworms and crickets and nearly flying. I was wondering what brand of food you give your blackbirds- though I am in the UK
It’s a massive commitment. I’ve raised five starlings in the past and a sweet little sparrow that was the only survivor out of her nest, sadly her wing was damaged and was never going to fly. Jackie (Sparrow) is now two years old and is presently laying some eggs ( obviously unfertilised) she laid three eggs this time last year.
Our veterinarian has now asked if I’m willing to foster sixteen orphaned bats!
Thanks for all that you do to save our worldwide wildlife, little critters matter too
Kindest regards

What pellets r u feeding them
What food our you feeding the fledgling’s, we are re-habilitating one, but we aren’t really shure what she needs.
I have one, it's 's being with me for 3 weeks, i found it on the street. I keep it in my terrace, it flies, eats alone.. I still give him water by myself, but i saw it's able to drink it alone.. Im wonder how long shall i keep it before releasing to the wild ... When i found it probably it was 1 week old.. Thank you
Their starlings...
What you feed him
Please, what are you feeding them in the video?
That's interesting. I read recently that in a particular city, the local rescue would not take starlings since they are an invasive species.
It can vary regionally
Melanie L. Starlings are GHASTLY NOISY HORRIBLE birds. Nothing like gorgeous beautiful to look at, beautiful to hear sing, blackbirds.
@@margaretlavender4418 i think these are starlings in the video. starlings are lovely and can bond heavily with humans, they are extremely smart and can mimic human speech
What are you feeding them please
I was feeding the wild birds a lot last winter and had a big problem with rats - huge, like cats! Just wondering if you get rats, with all the bird food in the grass?
What are you feeding these hungry babies?
I would love to know what you feed them?
bugs and moistened dog food
I have raised two great tit nestlings into fledglings. The nest was too high so I couldn't put them in and they were falling way too early from there. Eyes closed, not many feathers. All their 6 siblings fell and died in the next few days, I don’t know if they died from the fall or starved to death. I tried to get the parent's attention with the chicks I saved but they didn't understand to check anywhere else than the original nest. I didn't think the chicks would make it, especially because I thought the other had aspirated some food, but now they're thriving (partly thanks to my aggressive googling lol. There aren't any bird rehabilitation centers nearby.)
Now I'm wondering how and where I should release them back into the wild. I also wonder if the parents are still around if I release them where I found them. I'm worried though because if I release them;
1. Too close to the cottage where the nest was, there is a chance they will jump on the lawn and get mowed over by my grandparents who own the cottage.
2. Further away in the little forest. There is a possibility of snakes. If I keep feeding them a little longer it's probably harder to locate them.
3. A little garden area. Not enough bushes/trees to jump onto. Smaller risk of getting mowed over though or getting caught by a predator.
They've been in a cage made out of sticks, it's easy to climb. Maybe I should bring that with them to the area and place it above the ground....when I eventually choose the area. I've been letting them walk on the grass and hop on some branches supervised. They're still too small for getting food themselves though, they're still going (:V) (:V)
Anyway, a great informative video. These fellas are really cute.
what u feeding them
Will they not get used to humans?
They all went wild. Minimal contact is best for them.
They r starlings??
These are starling birds. Origanly from Europe. They released them in Central Park New York and was a Shake Spear ordeal.
Those are starlings🤣🤣
These are starlings, at least in Europe.
What is she even feeding them ? Are those pellets or caterpillars?
If there is a higher power which I do believe you're absolutely in God's graces. I've never rehabilitated an injured or baby bird I unfortunately found a very little guy about the same size as these guys so it's not a pinky it's got some down however unfortunately the blue jays knocked the little black bird out of its nest and injured the chickling I'm praying that it gets feisty and fights it's definitely in shock has two swollen eyes and some blood in his nose he's coming around but I really don't want to keep him in pain and I don't know who to call but I am going to ask God to take the baby or heal him on Swift wings maybe the swelling will go down and he will want food but for right now he is breathing slowly but calm Peaks at me through one of his eyes so I'm hoping it's like humans when they break their nose both of their eyes get swollen shut I will fight with him it's just painful to see this little guy in pain but I think he's much more out of shock than he was laying in the gravel he's got a critter light Cedar and a clean t-shirt with a secure topless storage bin
These are black bird fledge/juves? They look more like starlings
How do you protect them against cats? There are a lot of cats in my city
Unfortunately, we can't protect them from neighborhood cats, nor can we protect them from being eaten by wild hawks, falcons or other predatory animals.
I wouldn't worry too much about the cats. I feed a couple of ferals and my problem is keeping the blackbirds out of the cat food, they come in groups and eat everything/anything I put out for the cats. Blackbirds are smart. They're also obnoxious and a great pain in the rear. Still, sometimes they're fun to watch.
Nah, cats are invasives species. Like other invasives species, they can be dangerous to indigenous species. Many birds populations have decreased drastically (some even are extinct in some regions) due to predation by cats. Cats population need to be controled by sterelisation and sensibilisation of the people (many people still abandon their domestic animals).
All true. Cats are a problem, but blame it on humans... the most invasive species of all.
Of course humans are responsible for everything but we have to find means to protect all species. Still, no one really answered my question about how to protect baby birds who don't have parents to look after them. I cared for one baby bird once and when we were not outside to look after him, we kept him in a cage until he could fly properly, because there are many cats in my city.
Did they stick around after release?
Usually not, they get on with their life in the wild
Aren’t these starlings?
Sometimes we have a mix together

I did think that I recognized the shrieking.
Baby birds are at least 45% mouth.
Sure looks that way!
Starlings and blackbirds are the same right
different
Couldn’t be more different, starlings have a sharp prominent Bill and an iridescent Green speckled coat and is slender and gather in groups, the blackbird Male has a Jet Black appearance is is rather more filled out, the female is slightly smaller and has dull brown feathers.
The song is a big giveaway, possibly the most varied, beautiful and mellow different from every bird although recognisably similar, they often include whistles, cackles and imitations of everyday sound like sirens, alarms or telephones. They mate for life so rarely gather in flocks once mature.
They have bright yellow beaks which makes some mistake them for starlings.
I only have one baby bird and I'm scared it's going to imprint on us. It's a house sparrow so its kind of domestic anyways but I'd like it to socialize with other birds.
Do you ever have problems with healthy wild birds interfering? I can see those babies calling an owl.
Not in this instance, but Martin does have a story about a falcon he worked with causing some problems later.
Forgive me, but those are starlings.. Baby blsckbirds are smaller and much rounder.
Wow. I had no idea baby birds swallowed whole big ‘worm’ things like this. They are just like dogs then - who infuriate me by swallowing their food with no chewing.
What happened to the parents? Also how is this species not extinct with how loud they are? Every hawk in 50 miles has got to be like "Oooooooo, free lunch"
In Germany, even blackbirds are on the decline 😭😭
Hello! I Have found a baby blackbird (with no feathers) fallen from the nest, fed her for two and a half weeks (in the house). In the last 3 days she escaped a few times in the walnut in front of the house. I must say there are sooo many cats around here. So i called her and she recognized my voice and came to me. This hapened 4 times. I was hoping she would get on with her life but it seems she only sits in the tree. I think she is afraid to go on the ground, and i'm worried that if i let her be, she will go on the ground to find food and she will not be able to fly back up. And i'm also worried that she will get used with us too much if i keep her inside. Every time i call her she answers with a scream.... Is it too late for her to go wild? How can i fix this?
Did your bird ever go away? I’ve saved starlings before and they stick around for a while but end up leaving and forgetting all about me. Thank God!
Everyone wants to know what u r feeding them and no response????
Starlings not blackbirds 🙏
Don't they carry diseases..?
Sometimes
Those are crackles ..... Pests like flying rats.
What is wrong with them?
They catch mosquito's wich is a very good job to do. Good birds. 😃🇳🇱
@@chrisswildlife7166 They crowd out song birds and other desirable meadow birds and finches...... they eat all the food and poop everywhere.... They are unclean birds... pests....
@@LindaEll89 They don't eat mosquitos.. but they crowd out the finches that do eat mosquitos and other flying insect pests..... grackles are like flying rats........
@@chrisswildlife7166 also they don't sing... they cluck... very annoying
