Our Impact

Rescue and Rehabilitation

Avian Teen Crew members, and education staff members, Chandelle and Mary.

And just like that, we’ve surpassed 500 patients in the rehabilitation clinic.

Thanks to the care and dedication of rehabilitation staff and volunteers, numerous songbirds and raptors have gotten a second chance at life in the wild. Plus, 64 orphaned waterbirds, from gulls to gadwalls, are back in the wild thanks to the care of our rehabilitation staff and volunteers.

From Our Community

  •  I'm very grateful we have such a truly caring facility for our wounded feather friends.

  • I am grateful to the outstanding staff at the Bird Treatment and Learning Center. They do phenomenal work there and have countless success stories that end in release back to the wild.

  •  I couldn't have helped the little guy without Bird TLC.

  • Went to one of the bird ambassador showings. I had the time of my life. Phenomenal to say the least. Everyone was super knowledgeable and very, very nice. Being up close and personal with an eagle made my day.
