Volunteer Information

It is a privilege to work with wildlife.  Therefore, we do have a few requirements to volunteer with us:   
  • You must be 18 years of age or older to volunteer.
  • We require a one - 4 hour shift per week commitment from May through August.
  • Spring/Summer shifts are scheduled 7 days a week between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm.  Fall/Winter hours are 7 days a week 9 am to 12 pm or as needed.
  • You must complete a Volunteer Application.

  • You must be able to frequently climb stairs as our clinic and restroom are located upstairs, stand for extended periods of time, walk on uneven ground, lift 25 lbs.
  • All volunteers are required to have medical insurance and a current Tetanus Vaccine. Those with compromised immune systems will be required to submit a Release Letter from their doctor.  ***Please Note...this is not the environment for pregnant women. 

​We will provide the training; you just need to bring a caring heart and a willingness to be a team player.  We take our responsibility to our feathered patients very seriously and ask prospective volunteers to realistically consider their ability to fulfill the required time commitment.  We base the volume of birds that we are able to admit into care on staffing reliability.    It is imperative to the well-being of the birds that you fulfill your time commitment.
