After a big storm we had a bird on in our yard. We couldn't find a nest to put it back. So I called around and these guys were recommended. I called them and they told me what to do. I brought the bird down. Filled out a form and the lady took the baby. It was easy and they were very very kind.

Brought in a baby sparrow that my friend pulled from a dogs mouth, the employees were really nice. I didn’t need to fill out any papers and I was in and out in less then 5 minutes. My friend decided to name this little guy Waffles cause she had me transport him in a waffle box 😂. Gotta thank them for taking him in, took a lot of stress off my friend. The hour drive was definitely worth it if he can survive an go back where he belongs.

My neighbor found a wounded bird and had me drop it off here. They were incredibly kind and helpful Very safe environment and they take care of wounded birds and are the only place that does this in the treasure valley. Highly recommend!

A baby humming bird fell out of its nest and wasn't ready, it was very thirsty and tired. Keeped it for a few hours feeding it sugar water. Started to try and flap its wings but never could take off. So we found this place and brought it here to be looked and cared for.

Very nice people working for a great cause. I took an injured bird in that was hanging by its neck and didn't think it would make it. They gladly took it in and no charges.

Useless. Brought a young crow there for rehabilitation and was called the following day, by them to come get him because he "wasn't happy there." REALLY? He was there to be rehabbed and eventually set free. Not for a vacation. Disgusting incompetence. Don't bother with this place. They don't know what they're doing. Find a REAL wildlife rehab center. This place is a joke.
