About

Native Bird Care offers species-specific rehabilitation for wild birds. We are specialists in songbirds, water-associated birds, shorebirds, and a diversity of other types of birds that need particular facilities and care. We use gold-standard care protocols at every rescue step, from initial call advice to the birds' final release to a healthy, thriving life.
Native Bird Care is a small, efficient specialty center built specifically to ensure quiet, low-stress, and ultimate enrichment so that our birds not only survive but live long, successful lives.
Native Bird Care is also a bird sanctuary housed on a 40-acre conservation property with substantial old-growth trees and healthy, high-desert native plants. It also abuts a wild, free-flowing creek and is backed by miles of BLM property. Our facilities are designed to offer our fragile patients ultimate privacy, natural habitat-like aviaries, and large, filtered, recirculating pools for waterbirds.
Native Bird Care is an entirely volunteer 501c3 that depends on individual donations.
