Found animal
Have you ever met an injured or weak bird, or a small hedgehog, hare, swift, owl or other bird and you did not know whether to leave the animal in place or take it in? Then the following lines are just for you.
Who really needs human care?
An animal with a visible bloody injury
An animal exhausted or poisoned, showing no signs of shyness
Proven abandoned cub - Attention! not to be confused with cubs that only look abandoned but are cared for by their parents!!!
Detailed information can also be found in the Animal Advice Center of the National Network of Rescue Stations.
Please do not bring pets to us (turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, fish...), our cured patients leave us or fly off into the wild. Of course, we cannot release pets into the wild, and unfortunately it is not within our power or space to provide them with the comfortable facilities and care they need in the long term.
If you find an abandoned pet, you can find more information and solutions here:

Attention!!!
The Internet provides a lot of information on how to help which animal, but believe me, this information is not always correct. Often their application in practice can rather harm the animal, so it is always better to contact the rescue station for handicapped animals as soon as possible, where they will be happy to advise you and, if long-term care is necessary, they will take care of the animal.

Summary - Who Really Needs Human Help?
1. an animal with a visible bloody wound,
2. an animal weakened or poisoned, showing no signs of shyness,
3. demonstrably abandoned young (not to be confused with fledgling flightless young birds that are cared for by parents! or with small hedgehogs and hares that patiently wait in the grass for their mother to come and feed them!)
4. if there are dead parents or siblings nearby
5. lone baby of a non-feeding bird (chicken, pheasant, partridge or quail, duck, goose and baby swan), whose parents are nowhere in sight
6. if the cub is in immediate danger (roads, buildings, small children, cats...)
Many books, brochures and leaflets have been and are being written about helping injured and otherwise disabled wildlife, and the internet also offers a wide range of information. However, before you start rescuing a found animal, it is always better to contact a rescue station for disabled animals, where they will be happy to advise you on how to behave as best as possible in the interests of the animal in question, or they will refer you to the nearest rescue station, where they will take care of the injured animal.
