birds by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
They have received a Federal Migratory Bird Permit License issued by

Animal General donates all costs for the medical services and we
depend on donations from loving rescuers to provide food and
medicine for the birds while they recuperate. Caring members of
the community provide additional foster care, donations, and
chauffeuring services for patients to other rehab centers.

appointment only Monday through Saturday, from 1pm to 3pm.
