Sponsor a Wild Thing
The Audubon Society of Portland Wildlife Care Center provides a permanent home for several non-releasable native birds. Each of these birds came to us with an injury so severe that they would be unable to survive in the wild.
Sponsoring one of these birds:
- Is a great way to learn more about these incredible creatures
- Helps us meet their food, medical, and housing needs
- Supports our efforts to use these birds as ambassadors for their species and for Portland Audubon, in classrooms and at events
Your support will help provide:
- Food - we provide a natural, species specific diet for each bird
- Health Care - every bird gets an annual exam, routine diagnostic tests, vaccinations and any special care needed
- Bird Handler Training - each bird handler goes through extensive training to learn about behavior, natural history and legal issues
- Housing - each bird has a safe, appropriate cate that is cleaned and inspected daily
- Accessories and equipment - each bird needs appropriate jesses, perches, handling gloves and traveling cases
As a Wild Thing Sponsor you will receive:
- A tax deductible adoption
- A beautiful color photo of your bird
- A collectible Wild Thing button featuring your bird
- A genuine Wild Thing Sponsor Certificate
- A personal history of your sponsored bird
- General information on the species
- Information about helping injured wildlife
- Recognition on our Wild Thing sponsor board in the Wildlife Care Center
