Save Sick, Injured, & Orphaned Birds - California

2017 has been a busy year thus far for all of us at Avian Underdogs Rescue Association, We are very grateful to all of you who have been so supportive of us and of our efforts to help sick, injured, and orphaned birds here in Southern California. Your generous donations have allowed us to not only provide basic food and shelter for hundreds of incoming birds this year but to also provide specialized veterinary care for seriously ill or injured birds. We are also very thankful to have had several new associates come on board to assist us with hand raising baby birds, fostering birds, adopting birds, assisting at adoption events, and transporting birds.

Events we have attended in 2017 are the South County Pet Expo, a Tractor Supply event, the Bark, Biscuits and Brew event, and the DAWG Walk event. We thoroughly enjoyed these events and the opportunity to introduce people to our avian charges and to the work we do to try and help these birds.

Baby bird season for 2017 got off to a slow start in mid-February but ramped up quickly resulting in over 500 birds taken in from January 1, 2017 through today, September 9, 2017. It will be "slow" for the rest of the year, but baby birds are still coming in. This time of year it's Pintailed Whydahs and pigeons and doves.

Thank you again for your help and support. We are working on a very major undertaking at this time and hope to have some exciting news to share with you before the end of the year.
