What does it cost to rehabilitate birds?
Every bird that is rehabilitated by The Place for Wild Birds, Inc., will stay an average of 3-4 weeks in our care at a minimum cost to us of $75.00 per bird. Rehabilitators are not paid by the state or federal government and rely solely on donations to help pay for the food, medicine, and caging that are vital for the successful rehabilitation of wildlife. Each year it costs more for us to care for wild birds. At the same time, as we lose a greater number of our valuable bird species forever, rehabilitation becomes an increasingly meaningful and necessary human endeavor. In order to continue our importaint work rehabilitating wild birds, we need your financial support.
