SHERIDAN — Police have confiscated 53 baby birds from a 15-year-old boy who apparently took them from neighborhood nests and stored them in his bedroom.
Police believe the boy had the birds for at least 24 hours.
Authorities confiscated them June 16 after his mother realized he had them and called animal control.
The birds included barn swallows, sparrows and a bluebird. Forty died, but the other 13 are recuperating at the Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in nearby Boulder and are expected to survive.
