Thank you to everyone who made the extra effort to search for injured birds during Global Bird Rescue Week. All birds brought to the Centre due to window collisions last week are now part of a growing global database that highlights the dangers of windows. We are also pleased to report that some of the birds brought to the Centre last week have already been successfully rehabilitated and released! This number is expected to rise as the birds currently in our care continue to recover. Every wild

It’s lovely to see wild birds fluttering around your garden so why not invite them in this February?

It has been a busy few weeks at the Centre, as we worked to release many birds before the first flakes of snow fell. Every adult bird is returned to the area where it was first found, so it can quickly readjust to life in the wild, continue preparing for winter, or resume its journey south. For many species, the release window has now closed, and some of the birds in our care have received the news that they will be with us until the warmer weather returns. But for year-round residents like wood

This Black-capped Chickadee has been at the Centre all winter long and recently he has been a singing machine! He must sense his release day is coming very soon :) All-day long we hear chatter and loud Cheeeeesee-burgers as he claims the flight enclosure space. He doesn't mind an audience but when we have to enter the room we get an earful of upset short chirps. If only he would slow down so we know exactly what he wants :) #BlackcappedChickadee #Cheeseburgerbird #Matingcall #chirp | Ottawa Vall

Common Gallinule Released! After nearly six weeks in care, this unique bird was able to return home just in time to migrate south. The Gallinule arrived in late August with an open wound on the front of their chest and signs of a concussion following a collision. This typically secretive wetland bird was lucky to be found by a caring rescuer who made the drive from Brockville to ensure they received expert care. What amazing feet this bird has! About the size and weight of a pigeon, the Gallinul

Each bird that arrives in our care is special but with thousands of birds each year we just can't give them all a special name! However, sometimes it is unavoidable. This Northern Goshawk arrived in our care in early February suffering a serious head injury as a result of a collision. To shorten species names on their medical files we will use the standardize 4-letter banding code for wild birds. For the Northern Goshawk, it is NOGO. Naturally, we began calling this hawk No Go and its personalit

When a bird is ready for a larger space and social interaction they are placed in a large enclosure with friends of their own species, lots of food, and enrichment options. This is where the staff and volunteers observe both natural and entertaining interactions! 🐟It does not matter how many fish or how many dishes we put in the gull enclosure. Gull-ousy runs deep with this duo and clearly the best fish to eat is the one that the other Gull just grabbed! 😆 #RingbilledGull #Gull #Jelousy #minen
