Born to be Wild 2024: You can Help Birds Get a Second Chance at Life in the Wild

To help birds prepare for their second chance at life in the wild, we need to build several new enclosures. We're asking for your help constructing flight conditioning pens in which birds can rebuild their flight muscles after weeks of recovering from injuries.

• 10' x 20’ x 8' flight pen for magpies and ravens

• 8’ x 16’ x 8’ flight pen for small raptors and owls

Also, our youngest and most vulnerable patients, orphaned waterfowl, need an insulated shelter until they can regulate their body temperatures.

Your donation to the pre-release flight pens and waterfowl shelter will help more birds get a second chance at life in the wild.

Thank you for being part of our compassionate community which cares deeply about Alaska's wild birds. Together, we can ensure they remain a vital part of Alaska's iconic landscapes.

Outside of business hours, place injured or orphaned birds inside a secure container with breathing holes (such as a box or kennel) and put the container in a quiet, dark room away from human and pet traffic. We monitor our voicemail throughout the evening and on weekends and will call you back to provide instructions for overnight care or to arrange a drop-off at the clinic.
