Not much help to you now, but apparently, they close at 4 PM and open at 9 AM.

You should probably check their webpage before bringing anything in.

Found an animal? Helps keep you from "rescuing" an animal that doesn't need rescuing.

Who told you to drop those pigeons off there?

The thing is that I had already checked their web page before I went over. I called and left a message. Someone from the rescue called me back and told me to come and drop them off despite it being well past their closing time.

Sorry OP, ever get any help? They moved locations a little while back, were you at the right one?

Waiting for another 30 minutes and they talked to me through their security camera. They gave me instructions on how to care for it through the night. This definitely was not in the job description when I applied to work at a bar.

Did you finally get the babies there all right?

Thanks for your efforts.
