Emergency Care for Birds
Have you ever found a bird that was injured or a baby bird that was obviously out of the nest too early? What do you do?
Detroit Audubon- soon to be Detroit Bird Alliance
Detroit Audubon fosters the appreciation and conservation of birds and the environment we share.
Detroit Audubon is becoming Detroit Bird Alliance! New Name, Same Mission
Detroit Audubon is becoming Detroit Bird Alliance!
Why Detroit Bird Alliance? The name says it all!
Detroit: Our members reside in the City of Detroit and across southeastern Michigan.
Bird: We are dedicated to birds – to protecting them, preserving their habitat and inspiring an appreciation for all birds.
Alliance: We are part of a larger network of bird-dedicated organizations. Our conservation efforts rely on collaboration between individuals, communities and organizations. We are stronger together.
When will the new name go into effect? Our transition to Detroit Bird Alliance will take place in 2024.
For now, we will operate as Detroit Audubon. All donations and membership renewals may continue through Detroit Audubon and will transition seamlessly next year.
Our affiliation as the Detroit chapter of the National Audubon Society will not change.
In the new year, you’ll notice some changes as we adopt our new name and a new look.
Detroit Audubon (soon-to-be Detroit Bird Alliance): New name, same mission – to foster the appreciation and conservation of birds and the environment we share.
