Welcome to our 2nd Annual Worm Drive!
The entire month of September is worm drive month!
Every year the number of birds we take in grows and this year was no exception. During peak season we ordered 40,000-60,000 worms each week and last year we spent $8,180 on just worms alone!
That amount does not include the cost of fruit, caging, pee pads, or any other supplies used to keep our birds healthy and ready to be introduced back into the wild. That was just worms!
To help us keep up with the costs of worms every year, we will be hosting an annual worm drive to raise money and keep our bird friend’s bellies full of nutritious worms. Whether you are able donate $5 or $500, every little bit helps.
Why are worms so important?
Worms are our number one, healthiest and most vital source of protein to raise our wild birds. Even our seed eating friends love to dine on live worms.
So please donate and share to help support the wild birds we all love!
Donate on Facebook, Venmo, Paypal or Look for the Green IBR Buckets.
We thank you for all your support and appreciate that you love what we do!
