Join us on Tuesday, October 1 for NYC Bird Alliance's 2024 Fall Roost gala, which raises critical funds for the protection of wild birds and their habitat across the five boroughs of New York City.

The Fall Roost is not a seated dinner, but rather a buzzy and birdy cocktail party with passed hors d'oeuvres, food stations, and an open bar.

Tickets and sponsorships available now! Don't miss an extraordinary evening celebrating two heroes for birds.
