Birds face growing challenges from environmental changes and nonnative predators. Every year, people from all neighborhoods and backgrounds bring songbirds in need of care to our facility. In the winter, we primarily treat injured adult and migratory birds, but in the spring and summer, our efforts shift to thousands of orphaned or abandoned baby birds. Last year alone, we provided care for 2,398 songbirds.
Beyond their beauty and the joy they bring, songbirds play a vital role in our ecosystem:
- Many bird species are in decline, primarily due to habitat loss.
- Birds aid in natural pest control, consuming insects that are crucial to their diet.
- They act as pollinators and seed dispersers, helping maintain plant diversity.
- For many, birdsong is a cherished sign of spring—imagine a world without it.
Our program relies entirely on the generosity of donors. We receive no government funding to fulfill our critical mission: ensuring the survival of native songbirds through expert care and public education. Your support makes all the difference.
