Native Bird Care is small. But the work we do is critical. The needs of the birds we work with - song, shore, and waterbirds - are often underestimated. Each species is so unique that we must cater to each type of bird and their particular needs in care and housing. Add to that, handling these birds can be tricky; they all require specialized training.
We hope you enjoy this blog about these birds and what we do for them here. We hope you come away getting an idea of how interesting, beautiful, and unique they are.

Most impacts to birds are human-related or caused. One third of our bird species in NA are in peril, by 2050 if not sooner it will be 50%. It will truly be a planetary loss as their extinctions continue to increase.

Yet, we all can help. There are easy and affordable solutions for most bird impacts: see our window solutions to prevent bird injuries on our homes and offices; stopping cat maulings by putting catios up for our outside cats, bringing feral cats inside; creating landscapes of native plants and snags for wild birds; keeping our dogs on a leash when in bird habitat; and using safe methods that do not hurt birds when excluding them from our homes. Many of these solutions you will find right here on this site and more are coming.

Thanks for loving birds!
