If you transport, remember to turn in a Transport form with every patient.
When we are inspected the first thing FWC wants to see is “your paperwork.” No matter which way we try it is never easy to keep everything and every bird straight. The way to help lighten the burden for our rehabber is to make sure you submit a form each time you rescue or transport a bird. If there are multiple people involved in transport, the rescuer should initiate the paperwork.
