About Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research

Each year, Tri-State's Wild Bird Clinic treats more than 3,000 wild native birds that are ill, injured, or orphaned. Our professional staff and volunteers provide expert medical care, housing, and nutrition to offer them their best, if not only, chance at a healthy return to life in the wild. We serve more than 40 counties in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and beyond.

Tri-State's Oiled Wildlife Response Team is one of just a handful of organizations in the U.S. that can manage an oiled wildlife response effort. The team is ready 24/7/365 to assist wildlife affected by oil and hazardous spills regionally, across the U.S., and around the world.
