Northsong Wild Bird Rehabilitation Inc

Have you ever wondered what happens to injured wildlife? 

Who cares for them? Who advocates for the well-being, comfort, and medical care of these patients: the stranded owl, clipped by a car, no longer able to fly or hunt because his wing has been severely broken and mangled; the Great Blue Heron, thin and hungry due to the fishing line wrapped around its lower right leg that prevents mobility; and don't forget the Northern Cardinal, shivering in pain after flying into the newly cleaned window. 

These native birds need your help. As our area continues to grow rapidly, these animals are being displaced and affected. Join us as we stand up for wildlife welfare and create a sustainable plan for their care.

This year, NWBR is opening a wild avian rehabilitation facility in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This facility will be the first of its kind in our area, and will provide more consistent and inclusive care to our patients prior to their releases. This facility will be similar to a veterinary hospital and will have equipment for diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation needs. The funds raised during 2023's NWA Gives will be used to build our Intensive Care Unit raptor and songbird enclosures. These enclosures will range in size from 10x12x12 inches to 20x27x24 inches and will provide a barrier between human and patient interaction to reduce stress and improve welfare. 

MISSION

Northsong Wild Bird Rehabilitation (NWBR) is a Northwest Arkansas based 501c3 organization dedicated to providing medical care to injured avian wildlife while promoting environmental conservation through community education and involvement. Our medical team consults on injured wild birds, providing free examination, diagnostics, and treatments (surgeries, medication, etc.) to patients with the goal of returning them to the wilderness. 

Throughout 2022, NWBR admitted and consulted on 126 injured avian patients and generated a release rate of 47%. NWBR simultaneously promotes avian conservation and education by hosting public, community events with state parks, local schools, local organizations, senior learning institutions, and youth programs.  We believe accessible education is incredibly important - conservation without education is impossible, and therefore NWBR prioritizes hosting public releases throughout Northwest Arkansas whenever possible. NWBR has held various releases in Fayetteville, Springdale, Gentry, Rogers, Bella Vista, and Huntsville and will continue to expand our reach.

Thank you for prioritizing wildlife welfare and environmental conservation in our region.
