* Provide Water: In dry areas, leave out a shallow dish of fresh water. * Plant Native Species: Grow plants that offer food and shelter. * Avoid Feeding Directly: Direct feeding can disrupt natural behaviors and create dependency. * Respect Their Space: Keep a respectful distance from nests and young animals. * Support Conservation: Donate to or volunteer with wildlife conservation organizations.
