International Bird Rescue’s wildlife clinics are open year-round to provide critical care to seabirds beyond treating oiled wildlife. Each year our rehabilitation teams admit 3,500-5,000 birds between our two California clinic locations. These patients were brought to us by the general public and affiliated wildlife groups. Our focus has been to act toward balance with the natural world by rescuing waterbirds in crisis – since 1971 we’ve admitted over 150,000 birds and the count continues
We are happy to report the American White Pelican previously found in snowy South Lake Tahoe, California was successfully returned to his natural habitat. He was released after two weeks in care.
During this month of Merch Madness, Brown Pelican tees are $10 off! Featuring a trio of these incredible birds with vibrant breeding plumage. Lots of kids sizes.
Responding to the threat of a Bird Flu in our wildlife clinics continues to be daily challenge. Watch a video and learn how staff suits up to prevent spreading this deadly virus.
On Saturday, February 18, International Bird Rescue hosted its first-ever Backyard Bird Count for Kids event in partnership with the Pacific Flyway Center, and with help from our friends at the Solano Land Trust.
