If you have found an injured or baby bird in New York City and need information on how to help it, please first see our guide on what to do if you have found an injured bird.

The best place to take injured birds is the Wild Bird Fund on Manhattan's Upper West Side. You can find information about other animal rehabilitation centers in New York City here.

If you have further questions, please email injuredbird@nycaudubon.org.  A team of volunteers will respond with more information about how to help the bird. 

In Spring 2023 after a months-long assessment process, NYC Audubon’s leadership began the process to change the organization’s name by dropping “Audubon” and choosing a new name that better reflects our organizational values and our work.  We will announce a new name in June 2024. You can read more about the process to choose a new name here. 

NYC Audubon members receive exciting benefits to recognize their support of the organization; sign up and get more info on our Membership page or email us at membership@nycaudubon.org. (Note: NYC Audubon membership is separate from membership with National Audubon Society, our partner organization. More info about National Audubon membership here.)

NYC Audubon relies on help from thousands of volunteers per year to protect the City's wild birds and their habitats. Visit our Volunteer page for information on current opportunities.
