MORE BIRDS, MORE SPACE. WE ARE READY FOR THE IBR HUB.

Picture
We are very excited to announce the next phase of growth and expansion for Iowa Bird Rehabilitation: the IBR Hub!

Each year IBR grows, and as we grow, we require more structured spaces for proper operations. The new IBR hub will be a central connecting point for all operations. The hub will connect outdoor aviaries, indoor aviaries, storage, volunteer office, nursery, medical, fledgling building, and kitchen.  It will offer a space for volunteers to perform non-bird related projects and provide a rodent-proof area for the storage of food and supplies. This new building will help us to keep improving our ability to rescue, rehab, and release the over 1800 birds we admit each year.

THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER IS THE 
IBR ​WORM DRIVE


Facebook Worm Drive Fundraiser

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!
