A Nest for Those Without One

Have you noticed a decline in birds visiting your feeders over the years? A recent study by the Cornell University Lab and the American Bird Conservancy confirmed there have been steep, long-term losses across all groups of birds in Canada and the U.S. Since the 1970s, North America has lost 3 billion birds! ​

Wild birds are regarded as nature’s sentinels, important indicators of environmental health. They are nature’s essential workers, fulfilling critical roles in our ecosystems. We have come to realize birds enhance our daily lives in many ways and reflect the overall health of our community. ​

Did you know that less than half the chicks that hatch each spring survive through the summer?

But… it doesn’t have to be that way.

​Together, we can provide a nest of mercy for those without one, and a safe place to recover.

The Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre is not funded by any level of government and could not provide the critical care needed to help these vulnerable birds without the ongoing support of its bird loving community. 

​We believe that by working together with our generous community of supporters, we are not just saving birds one precious life at a time, but future generations of birds, each of which will play an important role in the environment.

Your gift today can make a difference.

Thank you for your support!
