Services

We took a murre here that we found on the beach after this weekends storm. We were so grateful that he was able to find a safe place to get back to health. :)

Can't look at birds... You might scare them but the people working there don't scare the AT ALL. The children's camp the can draw pictures of birds but can't look at real birds unless you go to the restroom where you get a glance of the birds who might be in there, or its a speaker system of tiny birds

They are an incredible resource. I brought an injured owl last year and two little baby swallows today that lost their nest. They are highly knowledgeable and caring.

I ♥ the small wild birds in my backyard. I had an urgent question about a sick/injured bird. I called ALL over seeking help for this bird at 7:00pm Boston time.
All wildlife, audubon business &also the The Cornell Lab of Ornithology were closed due to the time.
I researched quickly The Wildlife Center of North Coast on Google & I new time was critical for this small sick bird. My heart felt like mush, for I could not help the bird.
At 9:44pm in Boston i receive a call back from a kind professional across the country! who helped & guide me of what to do for the little bird. I'm deeply touched
