Wildlife Rehabilitation IMPORTANT NOTICE: All injured native birds and other wildlife should be transferred immediately to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. The Avian Welfare Coalition’s work is focused on parrots and other captive birds exploited by the pet trade. Nevertheless, concerned people who find our web site and need assistance with native birds often contact us. Unfortunately, every year many thousands of injured wild birds end up with people who don’t have the training to care for them. It is important that these birds receive specialized care by a licensed wildlife rehabilitator so they can be released back into their native habitat. We are providing the information below to help in these situations.
