There are many ways you can help support the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned native birds:
- Go shopping — Purchase and donate needed items from our Wish List.
- Volunteer — Volunteer Orientation/Intro to AWC held monthly (Sundays 1-2:30 PM – view calendar for dates).
- Become a member — Help preserve and protect Alabama’s precious natural heritage with your annual dues.
- Give what you can — Express your love for wildlife by making a donation in any amount. Our monthly animal care expenses double during baby bird season. As funding increases, so does our ability to help more creatures.
