How are the birds hurt?
Over ninety percent of the birds admitted have injuries which can be traced to accidental or intentional human interference. They have collided with cars, flown into windows or power lines. They have been senselessly shot, poisoned or trapped in steel jaw traps. They have been taken from their nests illegally, and often have severe nutritional deficiencies. They arrive with injuries such as fractured bones, concussions, damage to eyes, ears, feathers, and bone deformations due to malnutrition and clipped wings. The birds are depressed and in pain, yet often have an incredible will to live. We attempt to give them a second chance.
