Bald Eagle Rescue

​

This winter there have been 3 Bald Eagles found poisoned near a landfill, unfortunately a regular source of hazardous chemicals..  There are many poisons that make their way into our trash, which then becomes food for eagles, notorious scavengers.  One was deceased, the others were rescued and brought into rehabilitation.  Note the drooped head on the injured eagle, it was having regular seizures, a common indicator of poisoning. One of the rescued birds showed some improvement, but did not survive, the other is nearing release. In the final image note the vast improvement after only one day of proper care.

Dear Alaska WildBird Rehabilitation Center supporters

As we approach winter still under Covid-19 concerns, Alaska WildBird Rehabilitation Center is adjusting operations to cope with continued restrictions.   The public will still only be allowed to interact with the staff outdoors, on the porch or in the parking area.  While we have allowed increased staffing of volunteers where needed, we are diligent in use of masks, social distancing and sanitization. 

If you have an injured bird, wish to make a donation of supplies or food, or otherwise need to visit the center, we ask that you call ahead.  For those very much appreciated financial donations, we ask that you either use the mail or our secure website donate button.
Our entire staff and volunteer team thank you for your support and concerns.

Our Goals

Rescue

Rescuing is the first step to saving injured birds.  Read more about what to do if you find an injured bird.  ​ 

Rehabilitate

Getting injured birds "back on their feet"
​with the goal of releasing back to the wild.  ​

Educate

Education birds have an injury that prevents them from being released back into the wild.  Some of these birds can become part of our education program .
