Mission: To care for sick, injured and orphaned wild birds with the goal of returning them to the wild. To educate our community about wild birds and wild bird issues.
Wild Bird Rescue, Inc., serves twelve Texas counties by receiving birds from Texas Parks and Wildlife, Animal Control, Humane Societies, Police Departments, Sheriff's Departments, area businesses, and concerned individuals. We have received over 8,500 birds since the year 2001. We rescue wild birds, rehabilitate them, and then release them back into the wild.

June and 296 Babies
June has now passed. It is amazing we are this late into the summer and still have not seen one single day of 100 degrees. As of June 30th we have received 637 birds for the year (23 less than this time last year). 296 birds came to us in the month of June. Our current release rate (those already released plus those pending release) is 68.56%. We are still seeing baby Blue Jays, Mockingbirds, Robins, Sparrows, and Grackles. In addition, we have received Wrens, Scissor-tailed Flycatchers and Western Kingbird babies. So far no baby Kites, but I bet they are just around the next corner.
Time to feed babies.
