Help with Injured and Baby Birds
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. Find info about other animal rehab centers in NYC here.
If you have questions or are unable to take the bird to WBF yourself, email injuredbird@nycbirdalliance.org. A volunteer will respond with info about how to help the bird.

Found a dead bird?
Info about dead birds helps our research on building collisions. Snap a photo and report it quickly and easily at dBird. All you need to enter is the bird's location and a photo.
Questions about the Audubon Name?
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.
