Celebrating 50 Years of Bird Rescue

A Groovy Year-long Wildlife Benefit

2021 is a special milestone. It marks 50 years since a massive oil spill led to the hatching of International Bird Rescue. 

Join us in commemorating our anniversary as we bring together the larger Bird Rescue family for groovy gatherings, limited edition merchandise, and inspiring stories throughout the year. We hope this celebration will set the stage for 50 more years of second chances for waterbirds. Read: 50th Albatross Manifesto
