Chesapeake Wildlife Sanctuary said they would take them for treatment if my friend would cage and bring them in. Any advice on a way to catch them? Also, is it appropriate to take down the feeder (tube type) & clean up the area, or can she keep feeder out if she cleans it regularly and/or uses another type? Is there somewhere that this should be reported?
