We wish that we could help every bird that needs our aid, but our limited energy and resources force us to erect certain limits.
The first limit is geographical: Our primary mission is to help Washtenaw County birds at this time. We would love to train staff from nature areas or animal welfare organizations in other nearby counties to care for wild birds. If you are interested, please call the center.
The second limit concerns expertise: Our strength is in helping songbirds, a wide category that embraces birds that are neither waterfowl or raptors (owls and hawks). We refer injured and abandoned hawks and owls to the River Raisin Raptor Center (Dody Wyman, (734) 428-8455) and waterfowl to Mallard Marsh, (Carole Dangler, (734) 646-4924).
In an emergency, we can give advice and short term aid for these kinds of birds, but are not equipped to handle their long-term rehabilitation at our center.
