Wellington SPCA’s animal welfare inspector Brett Lahman was recently interviewed on Access Radio’s Animal Rights and Wrongs programme.

Brett had been invited to go along to the show to talk about an issue that the SPCA has to deal with at this time of year, every year.

Spring sees the Society being inundated with calls from concerned members of the public about baby birds they have discovered out of the nest. Inspector Lahman explains the best course of action to take and how, in most instances, human intervention can be detrimental to the bird’s welfare.
