How long do birds have to stay in captivity?
The quickest a bird can be released is usually around five days, however most average up to 7 days in captivity. It all depends on the health and condition of each animal. Sometimes a bird will have an injury or illness prior to oiling and that will call for an extended stay in captivity. Our goal is always to get them in and out as soon as possible to reduce the effects of captivity.
