Building the New Centre
Imagine being injured, scared, alone and too weak to even cry for help, but help was nowhere to be found. Worse yet, imagine that there was nowhere to go for medical care. Many birds encounter tragic circumstances due to human-related activities, and suffer a horrible, painful death, frightened and alone because they are not brought to the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre in time to receive our help. What if kind-hearted rescuers had nowhere to take injured or orphaned birds?​
​Construction on our new facility began in 2024, but your help is urgently needed to fund the next and subsequent phases of our new building. We need another $500,000 for Phase 2 of construction and the window for starting this phase is rapidly closing. ​Read more about the new building's progress and how you can help:​
WHO WE ARE
Each day we see the impact of human-related activities on wild bird populations. For birds that have been orphaned, injured or fallen ill, their lives need not end in tragedy. There may be hope for life and a return to the natural environment upon which we all depend.
At the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre, we treat each bird with the utmost respect and compassion. With your support, we can make a difference in the lives of individual birds, and ultimately generations of birds to come. With birds in decline, they need our help now more than ever.
