Are you a member of International Bird Rescue? Join us!

Whether it’s a heron chick that has fallen from a high nest or a pelican targeted by human cruelty, every bird cared for at International Bird Rescue matters — and every bird has a story. Today, we’re launching a membership drive so that you can participate in helping to carry this message to the world.

When you become a member of International Bird Rescue starting at just $25, you become a part of our team that works to save wildlife in need every day.

We’re pleased to announce that an anonymous member of International Bird Rescue has just offered a $10,000 matching gift for new members. Every donation from now until the end of September will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000.

We have two membership types with accompanying gifts:

Basic Membership: A one-time annual membership gift of $25 or more. Members at this level will receive an International Bird Rescue member window cling (hot off the presses!) and a wild bird photo print by photographer Dave Furseth.

Sustaining Membership: Starting at just $10 a month, sustaining members will receive an Alex & Ani pelican bracelet, a window cling and a complimentary, personalized sponsorship of our BirdCam Project.

Whether you sign up for basic or sustaining membership, you’ll also be entered to win one of several sweepstakes gifts, including:

• Umbra bird feeders

• Alex and Ani pelican bangles

• A custom swallow fiber art pillow by Nestle & Soar

• A one-month unlimited membership to Corepower Yoga (locations in California, Colorado, Illinois, Oregon and Minnesota)

• A delightful seabird watercolor print by artist David Scheirer of Studio Tuesday

And more to be announced! Anyone who has given to International Bird Rescue in 2013 is eligible to win.

How else are we saying thanks? We’ll also list your name in our 2013 annual report as an official International Bird Rescue member. And on a quarterly basis, you’ll receive our online newsletter, featuring International Bird Rescue’s recent work in the world, compelling stories of birds in our care, contest giveaways and some of our favorite bird photography.

Join us and spread the word! And thank you for your generous support.
