Join us in helping wild birds in Iowa!

​Wild birds play a critical role in our ecosystem, and with the population of birds in decline, now is the time to make changes. At IBR, we not only want to support our community in providing a place to take injured and orphaned wild birds, but also provide education, outreach, and be a beacon for wildlife conservation.

---

Our mission is two-fold:

1. To address the immediate needs of sick, injured, or orphaned wild birds with the goal to return them to the wild
2. The long-term goal to help educate and bring awareness to a global issue, birds are disappearing at an alarming rate

We are a 501c3 nonprofit that rehabilitates wild birds in the state of Iowa.
