Wildlife In Need Center Baby Bird Feeding Program
May 3 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
The Wildlife In Need Center (WINC) is excited to announce their popular youth and adult Baby Bird Feeding Program is back for this busy orphan season 2026! Join Baby Bird Feeding Volunteer Team!
The Wildlife In Need Center (WINC) receives hundreds of hungry, orphaned baby birds each year from May through September. These birds require frequent feeding and attentive, high‑quality care. Youth volunteers play a vital role in helping provide the hands‑on support each baby bird needs to successfully return to the wild!
During the Baby Bird Feeding Orientation, perspective volunteers will learn about proper handling, responsibilities, and the amazing impact they will make.
Individuals 15 years of age or older may volunteer independently to assist with baby bird feeding and care. Youth ages 12–14 may participate when paired with an adult family member or guardian. Volunteers in this younger age group must complete a brief pre‑orientation interview by emailing volunteer@helpingwildlife.org.
Volunteers ages 12–14 must also complete a brief pre‑orientation interview via email at volunteer@helpingwildlife.org
ALSO on May 31, 2026 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
