Birds are fascinating representatives of nature and can be watched by anyone, anywhere, so they provide an accessible means for people to learn about the environment. If not preserved, our community members will have fewer opportunities to observe wild birds and understand their relationship to their environment.
A Growing Need
Wild Bird Rescue began as an effort to provide a place for the public to bring injured, sick and orphaned birds. There is a tremendous need for this service. Each year, the public brings in between 600 and 1000 birds – with a larger, more accessible facility, this number is expected to climb.
Service to the Community
Wild Bird Rescue, Inc. works diligently to provide the community with humane solutions to wild bird problems. Our volunteers rescue sick, injured and orphaned birds, rehabilitate them, and then release the birds back into their natural habitats. We accept sick, injured and orphaned wild birds from the Humane Society, Animal Control, Texas Parks and Wildlife, veterinarians and the public.
While this is an important mission, WBR soon reached the conclusion that there was also a great need to educate the public about birds and about issues that impact wild birds. Many of the birds received from well-meaning people don’t need to be brought in; others are injured due to the actions of people. Therefore, Wild Bird Rescue, Inc. also provides free classes and information to the public on wild bird care and stewardship.
WBR also wants to provide information to the public about how to humanely and safely deal with the occasional conflicts between people and birds. This is an area WBR is researching to find effective, safe solutions for birds, people and the environment.
