Warm Winter Wishes

Thank you for a succesful Colorado Gives Day!

The baby blue jay and robin above—rescued and released by Wild Bird earlier this year—can hardly contain their gratitude to all of you for making Colorado Gives Day 2020 a wild success! Your contributions will help Wild Bird Rescue & Rehab stay afloat as 2021 approaches. In a year of difficulty for so many individuals, families, businesses, and non-profit organizations, we're humbled by and grateful for your efforts to support Wild Bird. We will continue to fulfill our mission to save birds, a promise that you make possible. Thank you for a beautiful season of charitable giving!

Birds & Winter Survival


As you know, Wild Bird stays open in the winter to keep helping non-migratory birds. But have you ever wondered how birds survive in winter if they don't migrate? This excellent article from All About Birds discusses the survival strategies of several bird species we still in the north during winter, including chickadees, woodpeckers, crows, and more. Remember—you can help birds survive the winter by continuing to leave out food and water! 
Congratulations to our Holiday Haiku Contest winners:  Betsy Rumely & Lindsay Bernard!

With Feathers and Calls

With feathers and calls...
You add color to our world,
in sight and in song.
Still want to help before the end of the year?
Check out King Soopers, City Market, and Amazon Smile to contribute to Wild Bird at no extra cost to you:
...or ask your financial or tax advisor how the CARES Act can help you get a tax refund for donating before the end of 2020!  

Happy Winter Holidays to Everyone!
