Migration is in full swing and the Wildlife Clinic is admitting dozens of birds impacted by window collisions every day. It is a common myth that birds are just "stunned" after striking a window. More often than not, birds can still fly adequately after a window collision, but sustain significant head trauma that could leave them severely debilitated. If you find a bird that has struck a window, immediately contain them in a well-ventilated box and contact your closest rehabilitation center for further instruction.

Birds like this Yellow-Billed Cuckoo would not have had a second chance at survival without the kindhearted rescuers that went out of their way to help him. After a few weeks of head trauma recovery, this beauty was released on protected land at the Schuylkill Center to continue his journey down south.

We're incredibly grateful to our volunteers for making this fall fun at the Schuylkill Center.

Thousands of animals receive care at the Wildlife Clinic every year. Abandoned baby animals. Window strikes. Car collisions. As the only Wildlife Clinic in Philadelphia, these animals are brought to us.

The law requires that we accept wildlife free of charge. We rely on community support in order to do this important work for wildlife. Please consider a donation to help us continue to do this work.
