"Many people are attracted to wildlife rehabilitation because they believe it is a valuable and rewarding activity. However, there are more facets to wildlife rehabilitations than most people initially expect. It can also be demanding and difficult. We believe that a better understanding of what is involved can help you make a more informed decision about if, how and when you want to become a wildlife rehabilitator."
Quoted from "Wildlife Rehabilitations - Is It For You?".

In order to become a wildlife rehabilitator in the state of Maine you must submit an application to the Maine Dept of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and pass a written test. This permit grants you permission to care for indigenous mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. In order to rehabilitate migratory birds a rehabilitator must already be licensed by the state of Maine and then apply for a federal permit through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
