In the aviaries, the bird has to opportunity the to exercise and strengthen it's muscles. Once it is given a clean bill of health, the bird is banded for proper record keeping. Reintroduction into the wild Volunteers who have spent countless hours working with the bird, transport it to an appropriate release site and watch it return to its freedom, hopefully never to return to the Wild Bird Clinic. Before a bird can be released it must be in top physical condition to ensure its successful reintroduction to the wild. Whenever possible, the bird would be released as close as possible to the location where it was first discovered in order not to disrupt other bird's territories.
Volunteers spend long hours strengthening, exercising and conditioning each bird prior to release.
Without our numerous volunteers, it would be impossible to run our programs and fund the costs of treatment and rehabilitation with our limited financing.
