W4W Policies
The stewardship of Hawaii’s native wildlife is a great responsibility, one that HWC takes very seriously and we want our volunteers to feel prepared and confident when completing a transport mission. Please read each of our transport policies. Checking the "Agree" box signifies your acceptance of that policy.
The HWC assumes that you are a safe, licensed, and insured driver that follows the rules of the road. Please take special care to obey traffic laws regarding speed, cell phone usage, and seat belts. Stay focused on arriving safely to your destination. Checking on the bird during transport is usually not necessary. *
Required
Be aware of your surroundings. If you feel that your safety may be at risk during an assigned pickup or drop-off contact HWC for guidance. You will be directed to a new location or will be met by another volunteer. *
Required
Do not put your eyes up to the carrier. Birds may feel threatened and peck through any openings. KEEP YOUR EYES SAFE. Keep fingers away from openings on the carrier. Many species will bite if given the opportunity. *
Required
Use caution while lifting heavy carriers into and out of vehicles. Lift with your knees to avoid straining your back. Ask for assistance if it is a two-person job. *
Required
Contact the HWC immediately if you are concerned that the bird you are transporting is in distress. DO NOT open the carrier or handle the bird unless you have been asked to do so byHWC staff or HWC Rescue Partner. *
Required
DO NOT make stops along the way. Your passenger is likely ill, injured, or otherwise debilitated and needs expert treatment as soon as possible. Please transport the bird DIRECTLY to its destination, i.e. HWC or HWC Rescue Partner. Timeliness is important for their wellbeing. *
Required
DO NOT transport birds in the bed of a pick-up, on the roof, or in the trunk. DO NOT transport pets, livestock, or any other type of animals while transporting rescued birds. *
Required
Keep talking to a minimum and DO NOT use the radio/music player while a bird is in the vehicle. *
Required
At no time should the bird be left in the vehicle unattended. *
Required
The Wheels for Wildlife Packet and any training materials provided by HWC remain the property of HWC and are considered proprietary. In order to ensure that no animals come to accidental harm we ask that you DO NOT share these materials with others. Please refer interested parties toHWC. We would be glad to have them apply for the Wheels for Wildlife Team! *
