Welcome to greenheron's clinic page

They receive free medical care, housing, & physical therapy until determined fit for release by licensed medical personnel and/or the Director of greenheron's clinic.

All information from recovery is compiled into a text to be shared with other medical persons who cater to wildbirds.

We donate extra needs and medical equipment to wildlife rehabilitators when we are blessed with an overflow! There are requirements that regulate this service, it is not my decision alone that makes this possible!

Please care enough for your animals to work with a medical professional.
*Intended use is limmited to non-profit and not-for-profit wildlife [native birds & mammals] only.

*Please help us keep this service free for wildlife and support the work we do by making a contribution to our wildbird clinic.

In nature there is a balance of life made up from inner-dependencies. We have been chipping away at the very resources that make life on earth possible.

I am doing my part to contribute to preserving a world for our future generations of people whom will have their own set of problems relevant to their time. The best legacy that we leave behind is a livable environment, healthy people, breathable air and drinkable water. Saving birds is one of my projects underway that contribute to conservation. The work of one seems hardly effective, however, it would be effective and is in our own best interest if we all adjusted our lifestyles and did something.

Our combined efforts may be able to slow down if not turn around our current 'live now-pay later' attitude toward our world that will end in our own extinction.

Wildlife rehabilitators do not make money off saving animals, They do not recieve any funding in most cases! They are supported by donations from caring people who care about humane care of orphaned & injured wildlife. The primary goal is to release a healthy animal that can take care of themselves, forage (find food), and continue to live among their own kind. You could say we just 'babysit' mother natures' children until they are well enough to carry on and provide hospital/clinic care for adults that become injured, -mainly due to our progress. This is a type of charity is especially rewarding for people whom have a special link with birds and perhaps other animals. Please give and support your local wildlife rehabilitator. It is also the most precious thing you can leave to your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren; preserving the life and homes of these beautiful animals.

There is not an endless supply of wildlife & Birds. If we do not Make a place for them, they will dissapear forever...

Q. Where Do Our birds come from? :)
A.They came from the wild originally but ended up in human possession from being injured, orphaned,and sadly, from being poached. Though, Not all herons, egrets & songbirds are injured/orphaned through poaching. Many are displaced by urban development/ deforestation, window strikes, fishing, pollution and other human-created situations. We don't judge anyone who turns in an orphaned or injured wildbird. The fact that they wanted to help & save another life is a step into the right direction. "My birds come from a sense that if nobody helps them, they have no chance of surviving the interference that humanity imposes upon them. They come from the reality that they are exploited, and they come from people who cared enough to realize that walking away and ignoring their desperation will not serve them better, it would only ensure their demise."

The sooner an injured bird is turned in, the better chance they will have to recover, and live the way they were meant to-

there is nothing more I need say, this concept of giving is far removed from putting a pricetag on a life..... "either you get-it, or you don't-
