Hope for Tiny Wings

Because every nestling deserves a home…

Hope for Tiny Wings

By now you have already noticed it is baby bird season again!

Birds have different ways of raising their young, but bringing up babies can be a monumental challenge, especially with the added dangers of an urban environment. Did you know: Some birds not only migrate back to the very same nesting area, but to the exact same nest! Reusing a nest can be a real time saver, though it often involves a few repairs. Nests range in size, shape and materials, but all parents have one common goal: raise their families in a safe environment. Yet, despite their best efforts, so much can still go wrong…

Did you know that less than half the chicks that hatch each spring survive through the summer?

But… it doesn’t have to be that way.

For many chicks like this Northern Saw-whet Owl that have had a rough start to their fragile lives, the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre is their best, and only chance for survival. Regardless of the misfortune that brings them to us, their tiny lives are in our loving hands.

Your gift today can make a difference.

Thank you for your support!
