releasing...

[curiousgal]

is it always better to release where you found the bird you've rehabilitated? I have released birds near me but they've usually 'left' the area ... the one or two i released where I found them it's harder to know obviously. but what if the area where you found the bird is just a rough spot...? obviously it's easier for the bird to rejoin its own flock vs. assimilating with another ... so that's one concern. then also sometimes the seemingly 'safer' spots it might be harder to access food there. what if you look out for a bird that doesn't act like it really wants to go outside? thanks for your experiences and thoughts.
