Police in Longmont Colorado confiscated 53 baby birds from a 15 year old boy who apparently took them from nests in the neighborhood and stored them in his room. It is believed that the boy had the birds for at least 24 hours. When the boys mom realized he had them she called animal control.
Colorado law allows people to transport injured or sick wildlife to a veterinarian or rehabilitation center, but it's illegal to try to care for wild animals
"Every once in a while, we get animals from people who mean well," Greenwood operations manager Gabriele Paul said. "They don't know it is illegal to do it themselves.".
