How Can I Help?:
Most, if not all,
of the organizations listed on this page depend on help from
volunteers. These groups also rely heavily on donations from
foundations and individuals. Funding is a serious issue that
has forced many rehab. facilities to close their doors or turn away
injured birds due to a lack of resources. What would we do
with our injured birds if these organizations didn't exist?
Please consider returning the favor through your financial and/or
volunteer support.
