Get Involved

We believe that every bird matters.

Thanks to the support we receive from donors and volunteers like you, International Bird Rescue mattered to the more than 5,000 birds admitted last year for treatment to the two wildlife centers we manage in California.

Sometimes birds strand themselves in large numbers and the reasons why are not clear, but because of the shear number of casualties, International Bird Rescue treats emergencies like these as they would an oil spill, with one significant difference - there is no oil. This means that there is no responsible party and therefore no financial support for our rescue effort.

It is the support of our friends in the community that enables us to care for aquatic birds 365 days a year, develop our skills, and be prepared for the next emergency.

Make a Gift

Your generous donations will help us be prepared for the next emergency, purchase food and medicine for each of our patients, and advance cutting edge research efforts in the field of aquatic bird rescue and rehabilitation.

Adopt a Bird

Your adoption gift will be used where needed most to rescue and rehabilitate birds impacted by both natural and man-made threats, such as oil spills and algal blooms.

Volunteer

We are proud of the dedication and support of our volunteers who participate in every aspect of the rehabilitation process. In order to volunteer, you must be at least 18 years old, and have a sincere desire to help wildlife.
