What is the Wild Bird Care Centre?

In 1981, the plight of an injured hummingbird captured the heart of the Wild Bird Care Centre (WBCC) founder, Kathy Nihei.  With the successful over-wintering and subsequent release of this hummingbird, the Centre took root and began to flourish.

Today, the Centre is a registered charitable organization that operates it's program under the authorization of Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Canada's Canadian Wildlife Service. The primary mission of the Wild Bird Care Centre is to assess, treat, and rehabilitate sick, orphaned, or injured wild birds before releasing them back to the wild.

As well, the Centre strives to alert the public of the threats to wild birds and provide information on ways we can help prevent unnecessary injury and consequently, further damage to our already fragile environment.
