If you have found a baby deer, leave it alone unless it is walking around crying for mom. The mom parks the baby in the morning and is gone all day. If you hang around the area it may keep the mom from coming back.  If the baby has not eaten in several days the tips of the ears will be curled (not straight).

If you have found a baby rabbit... put it back in the nest. Wild mother rabbits produce enzymes in their milk that we cannot reproduce. Also wild rabbits often die from fear in captivity. The nest may look like a spot of dead grass in your yard. The mom only visits the nest for 5 minutes twice per day.  You can put a line of flour around the nest to see if she disturbs it when visiting.

If you have found a baby bird do NOT give it any fluids.  It will go straight into the lungs, drowning it.  Try to get it off the ground by putting it in something like a plant hanging basket. Normally the parents will start feeding it again.  If you absolutely have to feed it while searching for a rehabber use this reference:  https://pethelpful.com/wildlife/How-to-Feed-a-Baby-Bird
