With Phoenix sweltering under unrelenting triple digit temperatures, lines have formed outside a wildlife rehabilitation center as people come across wild birds, bunnies, squirrels and other animals that have fallen victim to the scorching heat
Every animal brought to the non-profit Liberty Wildlife since late June has been dehydrated, Executive Director Megan Mosby said. Hot, dry winds are also blowing baby birds out of nests while the intense heat leaves them weak and oftentimes helpless. “They’re gonna bake,” Mosby said of baby birds, who don’t have feathers to shield them. The Arizona heat is so intense that her team has been keeping its older animals indoors in the air conditioning.
Mosby said many have been coming to their shifts with wet rags around their necks, as most of their work is outdoors. “The relentless Sun – it hurts,” she said. Arizona filling watering holes in the wild Mosby and her team aren’t the only ones working to protect Arizona’s vulnerable wildlife as the unwavering heat continues to torment animals and humans alike.
