Wild B.I.R.D. Rehabilitation of Denver needs help

[Norm Lewis]

Good afternoon all!  I wanted to put out a call for assistance for this exceptionally worthwhile cause.  Many of you are probably already familiar with this organization, but for those who are not, Wild Bird is a rescue and rehab operation that deals only with birds.  They take in every size, shape and description of injured, orphaned or abandoned bird.  And like so many such organizations, they do great work on a shoestring budget.

 

Wild Bird is in the process of moving from its present location in southeast Denver to a new facility on 44th Avenue in Wheatridge.  They have acquired the property and preliminary work and permitting are under way, but they could sure use some financial help.  To send a monetary donation:

 

PO Box 101133

Denver, CO 80250

 

To donate materials, volunteer at the center, or get general information, visit www.wildbirdrehab.com 

 

I hope some of you will jump in and help out this great group.  And if anyone happens to know of an individual or organization that might want to help in a bigger way, well........they will need a very substantial amount of money to complete this project.

 

Thanks in advance for anything you can do!

 

(And of course the usual disclaimer that I have no financial interest in this organization)

I'd like to thank Norm for posting this and would like to add my 2cents.

    Wild Bird Rehab Center had 3000 birds pass through it's doors last summer and has an excellent release percentage. I volunteer there when I can and it's an overwhelming task of feeding, cleaning and healing.  

     Other than the Greenwood Animal Rehab shelter in Lyons, Deb is the only licensed wild bird rehabilitator on the front range. After Candace's tragic death last year, the Wild Bird Center on Colorado Blvd had to be closed and because Deb was the store manager, her income was gone. That adds to the financial woes of the center because Deb used that income made during the winter to support her as she worked feverishly from spring to fall.

     Deb loves new volunteers and I guarantee you that it's a overwhelming but satisfying experience!

    Any money you give will help an incredible undertaking succeed!
