2020 marked our 30th year of operation and surpassed previous years with 1,098 birds in our care. That number does not include all of the phone calls—an estimated 10,000—from all over the country. Since many facilities closed or reduced their hours during the pandemic and more people were home to witness the many challenges birds face, we did our best to resolve problems on the phone or direct people to a resource closer to their home.
Although wildlife rehabilitation was not found on a list of essential businesses, the Avian Wildlife Center was in full operation throughout the year.
