Injured bird inquiries
It takes specialized knowledge to determine if an injured or seemingly abandoned bird needs help. With the best of intentions, too many birds, particularly babies, are rescued when in fact they didn’t need to be. Le Nichoir, a federally and provincially licensed wild bird rehabilitation centre, is an excellent source of information on when and how to take action.
Wish more was being done to protect your local birds?
As a pioneer in the acquisition of property for conservation purposes, Bird Protection Quebec has been protecting habitat in this province for over eight decades. In fact, our first sanctuary was purchased in 1937! Management of land we own or co-own, along with our research and educational grant program, represents our largest annual expenditure. And, since we are a predominantly volunteer-run organization, all funds we receive through either membership fees or donations go entirely towards supporting these and other initiatives.
