The Wildlife Whisperer: Ned Bruha on Iguana Rain, Bat Lawsuits, and Humane Animal Control Dora Sherry welcomes Ned Bruha, the "Wildlife Whisperer," to the show. Ned, who runs a humane wildlife management business, clarifies his controversial methods: he does not trap, relocate, kill, or poison animals. Instead, he works within the existing ecosystem, "manipulating females" like raccoons to move their families on their own, a method he uses because relocation and translocation research proves it truly kills the animal within two weeks. Ned shares his unique start in the business—battling chipmunks burrowing into veteran graves in his childhood backyard in Wisconsin. He confirms one of Florida’s wilder rumors: iguanas truly do fall from the sky due to cold weather slowing their bodies down. The conversation turns to the most dangerous animal he deals with: humans. He explains that he makes a living off the poor work ethic and tiny flaws left by builders, roofers, and other tradesmen, noting that common homeowner mistakes include using duct tape and expanding foam. Ned recounts a horrific case where a client won over a million dollars after a previous homeowner covered up a severe bat guano infestation; the former owner later tried to hire a hitman to kill the family. He explains the non-lethal method for bat removal, which must be done outside of maternity season when pups can’t fly. Ned also details his high-level osprey work, including installing electromagnetic deterrents and platforms on Andros Island to prevent birds from nesting on a massive radar tower. Finally, he recounts his disappointing experience with a past reality television series where producers chose to create drama over delivering the educational show he was promised.
