If you are a reporter or member of the media, email media@nycbirdalliance.org for the fastest response, or call 646-571-0790. Visit our news and press page to learn more about our organization.

If you have found an injured or baby bird, first check our guide on what to do if you have found an injured bird - not all baby birds need rescuing.

If the bird does need help, 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 questions, or are not able to take the bird to WBF yourself, email injuredbird@nycbirdalliance.org.  A volunteer will respond with more information about how to help the bird.

Info about dead birds helps our research on colliisions.  Snap a photo and report it on our crowdsourced database, dBird.  It takes just 30 seconds and you don't need any info except the bird's location and a photo. 

In June 2024, we changed our name from NYC Audubon to NYC Bird Alliance, which better reflects our organizational values and our work. You can read more about our name change process here. 

NYC Bird Alliance 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@nycbirdalliance.org. (Note: NYC Bird Alliance membership is separate from membership with National Audubon Society, our partner organization. More info about National Audubon membership here.)

NYC Bird Alliance 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.
