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.

Busy, Busy Week

Sorry it has been so long since I wrote an update. We saw bird number 900 come in on the 14th. Monday, the 16th, we released nine kites. Thursday we released four grackles, four Blue Jays, six Robins, and over twenty doves.

Today we moved seven more kites to the outside aviary. We also moved four Blue Jays, four Robins, one Red-bellied Woodpecker, and ten doves to the aviaries.

The only migratory birds we have now are nine kites and four Barn Swallows. We should have plenty of time to get them ready and back into nature before they are due to migrate.

Today we received a fledgling Chimney Swift. He is all but ready for release. Will keep him for a couple of days to rehydrate, and then put him in our Swift Tower for release.
