For those that are “crafty”:

  • For those who enjoy knitting or crocheting, we have plans for making knitted nests.  These may be mailed to the Wildlife Center of Virginia — we will use them for baby birds and mammals admitted to the Center.
  • For those who sew, we have plans for making “WCV Raptor Wrappers.”  We use these here at the Center on “weigh days” — they are useful tools to quickly weigh raptors and keep them safe while on the scale.
  • Other sewing projects include making foot wraps for pelagic birds and other birds with sensitive feet.  Please note that these instructions specify which material to use — we think that other soft, pre-shrunk, non-loopy fabric will also work. 

For additional information, please contact the Wildlife Center at 540.942.9453 or at outreach@wildlife.org
