They took in a tiny wounded hummingbird I found. I was so saddened to leave him but I knew he would be under good care. I thank all staff for their dedication to avail animals.

Very informative volunteers. Terrific opportunity to see captors up close.

I volunteered there for for a year or so. I’m in love with that place and all the people that work and volunteer there! I’m a retired nurse and caring for the birds was a whole different world! Fascinating and so wonderful! Please support! They need money, as always, because there is always another bird in need.

I like the place because it exists. I would like to have been given more information when I dropped the hawk off, but I understand why that couldn't happen right then and there

Questions & Answers

Santa Rosa mobile estate on Brooks ave. Replaced a light pole on McCoy ave. With a nest with baby birds in the nest on Wednesday July 18. Should they have waited until the babies where gone?

It would depend on the species. Non-native birds are not considered protected, but we always obtain a photo to confirm species before disruption of ANY nest. When in doubt, leave a nest alone and wait until the birds are finished with it.

If people check nests with baby birds several times a day, might the parents abandon the nest?

Bonnie Clark | Aug 20, 2018

Yes, if there are multiple disturbances the parents will abandon the nest. It's best to let nature have its space and view from afar!

1. Can people adopt birds there? 2. Do you have hyacinth macaws there?

Our Education Ambassador birds can be sponsored, but we do not have pet birds to take home. Find out more about that here: https://www.birdrescuecenter.org/ambassador-guardianship/ Otherwise we typically recommend animal shelters to give birds in need a home.

Birds have nested in my chimney, which I don't use, they have now made a permanent home. What do I do, I would like a bird friendly option.

If they're nesting there for now, then they just need to be left alone until they leave. If you're hearing babies begging for food then you should only have about 2-3 more weeks before they take off from the chimney. It's 30 days from hatching to fledging out, but you may not hear them until they're into their first week or so when they're stronger and more vocal. The best thing now is to keep the chimney open so the parents can safely access to feed any babies. If any birds fall to the fireplace, you can give us a call at (707) 523-2473 or Native Songbird Care and Conservation in Sebastopol at (707) 484-6502. They are one of our sister organizations that specializes in swallows and swifts! Usually in the fall the swifts will move on and at that time you can clean it out. If you do not want them back next summer, simply remember to close everything up prior to spring so it's not an option!

I just read bout crochet bird nest but the request came from out of state. My question could our little ones need crochet nest?

Margie Alvarez | Aug 20, 2019

We have an abundance of crochet nests and since we connect with the other wildlife organizations in the area daily during the summer, we know that the North SF Bay area is pretty covered in that department. You could make them a little larger as hats and see if a human hospital could use them.
