How to Volunteer at the Center
By Dorothy Stock, Volunteer Coordinator (734) 996-8316

This year more then ever we need volunteers. Please join us!
No experience is necessary. We will train you!
We get hundreds of baby birds every spring and summer season that need to be fed every 30 minutes from dawn to dusk.
That is a lot of volunteer hours, so even if you could spare a couple of hours a week we could use your help! You tell us when you can volunteer and we will work you into the schedule.
It is a very rewarding experience, and these babies seem to grow right before your eyes. And there is nothing like seeing an injured bird successfully rehabilitated and ready to be returned back to its natural habitat.
There are many jobs that need doing –not just feeding baby birds. Here is just a sample of the many jobs we do:
- Answer wildlife calls
- Take information from the people dropping off birds
- Feed birds and keep their housing clean
- Make special diets
- Go on wildlife calls to pick up or rescue birds
- Take injured birds for veterinary care
- Birds need to be put in outdoor flight cages before they are released back into their natural habitats. Help by building a flight cage, or allow one to be erected on your land
From the records we keep on every bird, and the flight cages we build, to the diets we feed, every job is a vital link in successfully rehabilitating these birds and returning them to the wild.
