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.

Orphaned waterbirds return to the wild!

It’s the time of year when orphaned waterbirds arrive at our clinic almost every day. After caring for them until they become independent, it’s always a thrill to return them to the wild.

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.
