The Songbird Hospital, a program of Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue, is dedicated to the rehabilitation and healthy release of wild native passerines, commonly referred to as “songbirds”.  We also provide public outreach and education about these amazing birds and their valuable role in the natural world.

Each year, our experienced volunteer staff cares for hundreds of songbirds brought to us from all areas of Sonoma County and beyond.  Songbirds are a diverse and specialized group.  From mockingbirds and robins to blackbirds and chickadees, we care for over 50 different species annually.  We specialize in the care of insectivores such as swallows, swifts and flycatchers.

Our facility is set up exclusively to support the needs of injured, ill and orphaned songbirds.  Based on their age and species, each bird has specific requirements for care, diet, housing and release back to the wild.  Focusing our expertise on the rehabilitation of songbirds allows us to provide the best care possible for this unique group of birds and give them a second chance to return to the wild.
