bird treatment and learning center
Caring and advocating for alaska’s wild birds through rehabilitation, Education, and outreach to ensure they remain a vital part of Alaska’s iconic landscapes.
If you’ve found a bird that may be injured, ill, or orphaned, we can help!
Our Impact
Rehabilitation
The majority of the birds brought to Bird TLC’s rehabilitation clinic have been injured due to human activities. Rehabilitation gives us the chance to undo the harm that was done and gives the birds a second chance at life in the wild.
rehabilitation in the summer of 2025
Between June 1st and August 31st, we took in 314 injured, ill, or orphaned wild birds from the Anchorage Bowl, Kenai Peninsula, Fairbanks, and off-the-road villages, including Elim, Sand Point, Galena, and Dillingham. These birds had sustained injuries from car collisions, window strikes, cat and dog attacks, fishing line and lures, and being shot.
conservation education
Ensuring the future of wild bird populations requires raising awareness of the threats they face, such as habitat loss, primarily due to increasing urbanization, and climate change. Our education programs inspire people to appreciate and care for the wild birds we share the world with, and empower them to take steps to make a difference for wild birds.
