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.

August Statistics

Hard to believe we are already into the month of September. August was a busy month. In fact, we received more birds in August than we did in July.

Birds received in August: 154
Birds received in 2010: 943
Released: 62.18%
Pending release: 6.96%

We released six more kites last Friday, and numerous Blue Jays, robins, mockingbirds, White-winged doves, and on Monday we released the Mourning doves. We moved five more kites to their outside aviary. Robins, Blue Jays, grackles, and doves all went to their outside aviaries. The last mallard and Wood ducks have about one more week with us prior to their release.
We still have several other birds inside the main building: two kites, six mockingbirds, one Great-tailed grackle, three Barn swallows, two Collared doves, five Mourning doves, and there are four White-winged doves in the nestling room. That is it. Birds should be all gone by the middle of September.
I always look forward to the start of the baby season, and yet, I am always very happy when the season is over. I am glad this one is behind us.
