Every donation we receive goes directly back into the essential cleaning and feeding of our patients and their dedicated surrogates. This support is crucial for maintaining the overall well-being of the birds in our care. Additionally, contributions help with the upkeep of The Mended Nest facilities, which include important resources such as incubators, portable ponds, and spacious flight enclosures. Surrogates are non-releasable birds that play a significant role; they are able to provide valuable training and support to young birds, helping them develop the necessary skills for survival.
