The Bird Center of Washtenaw County is a non-profit organization that depends solely on public support. It costs a lot to rehabilitate an injured bird or raise a baby bird to adulthood, not including the time volunteered by our experienced staff. During the height of the summer season, we spend $200 on mealworms, $25 on paper towels, and $185 on veterinary bills each week. Many birds require fresh fruit or ground chicken baby food diets which are expensive. If you are asking the Center to help a bird you have found, please consider making a donation to defray the costs of rehabilitation.

There are multiple ways you can help the Bird Center. Your Internet searches and online shopping through GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com can benefit the Bird Center at no additional cost to you.

Shopping at Kroger can also benefit the Bird Center. We're excited to be participating in the Kroger Community Rewards Program. Simply register your Kroger Plus card online with a Kroger Rewards Account and designate the Bird Center as your charity of choice. We will automatically receive a donation from Kroger every time you use your card. You can register the Bird Center by name or by the NPO number that Kroger has assigned to us — 90972.
