Volunteers Sought to Care for Orphaned Baby Birds at Wisconsin Humane Society

MILWAUKEE - Volunteers are needed to help feed and care for orphaned wild birds in the wildlife nursery at the Wisconsin Humane Society’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center from May through September. This is a great opportunity for individuals to learn about urban wildlife and help save the lives of baby animals.

Responsibilities include feeding baby birds, preparing food and cleaning cages. Volunteers must be at least 13 years old to work without a guardian, or 12 years old with an adult guardian. No previous animal handling experience is required. The time commitment is one day per week for three hours. Four different shifts are available between 8am and 9pm, seven days a week. This is a great experience to help save local wildlife and build great relationships with other animal lovers! Upcoming orientations will be held on Sunday, May 17 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday, May 27 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

If you are interested in becoming an Orphaned Bird Care volunteer in the wildlife nursery in the Wisconsin Humane Society's Wildlife Center, please contact Crystal at (414) 431-6196 or csharlow@wihumane.org.
