NEW VOLUNTEER APPLICATION
Let us know a bit about yourself, areas of interest and previous/current skill sets you have


Wild Nest Bird Rehab provides compassionate care for injured and orphaned native birds, but their survival in the wild depends on maintaining their wariness of humans. We do not attempt to establish bonds with our patients.

​

Bird care volunteers learn hands-on bird care skills such as preparing diets, hand-feeding, administering medications, restraint methods, and more. New volunteers won’t immediately work with patients. Although initial tasks include laundry, cleaning, and diet preparation, hands-on training is provided each shift so that volunteers soon have the skills to directly assist with bird care. While many people join us to help caring for babies, Wild Nest has supported several volunteers who have gone on to become fully licensed rehabilitators. 

 

As a volunteer-led effort, our patients depend on our commitment.

We ask that bird care volunteers commit to a weekly shift for a minimum of four hours. ​

​

Wildlife rehabilitation is not for everyone. Many birds to not survive their injuries, and humane euthanasia is sometimes required. Bird care volunteers must be prepared to encounter injuries, blood, needles, feces, bad odors, live insects, and more.


You will hear from us within two weeks of your application.
