Meet Peony, a true albino Eastern Bluebird who came to us in July 2024. She's a permanent resident here at WBR, serving as an educational ambassador.

If you look closely, you can see that her eyes are pink. Most people assume it's pigment, but there's no pigment involved at all, not in her feathers, her skin, or her eyes. What you're actually seeing is blood vessels showing through. That total lack of pigment is very rare; Missouri's Department of Conservation puts true albinism in birds at roughly 1 in 1,764, so meeting Peony is a little like winning the bird lottery.

Next time you're in the neighborhood, swing by and say 'Hi'. She's impossible to miss and even harder to forget ❤️

Help! We need w**e!

No, it's not for the birds, it's for this year's w**e pull. We're collecting bottles now through the end of October. Have one to donate? Swing by our office at 9624 Midland Blvd during normal business hours to drop it off.

The pull is part of our 16th Annual Trivia Night & Silent Auction, Saturday, November 7, 7 to 10pm (doors at 6) at the Maryland Heights Community Center. Register a team or consider sponsoring the night. Either way, every bit gets us closer to this year's goal. Details and sign-up here: https://wildbirdrehab.org/upcoming-events

Trivia, prizes, and (eventually) w**e. See you there 🐦

CALLING ALL BIRD BRAINS (around here, that's a compliment)! Our 16th Annual Trivia Night and Silent Auction is back on November 7th at the Maryland Heights Community Center and registration is open!

Bring a full table of 8 for $300, or buy an individual ticket for $40. Expect tough trivia, a silent auction, cash prizes, and a 50/50 raffle. We'll provide snacks and soda, and you're welcome to bring your own food and adult beverages too.

Trivia knowledge a little rusty? Mulligans are $10 each, so one bad round won't end your night.

This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, and it goes straight to caring for the 2,200+ injured and orphaned birds we take in annually.

If you've heard birds calling overhead at night lately, that's not your imagination. Fall migration is picking up over St. Louis, and Blue-winged Teal and sandpipers are already moving through, with the warblers close behind.

Birds migrate at night, navigating by starlight. Last night alone, an estimated 25,600 flew over St. Louis County. The catch is that St. Louis sits right on the Mississippi Flyway, so huge numbers funnel overhead every night, and when that volume meets our light pollution, birds get disoriented, worn out, or fly into buildings. That's why we rank 6th most dangerous city in the country for migrating birds in the fall.

If you can, switch off outdoor lights you don't need overnight through October. Found a grounded or hurt bird? That's what we're here for.

Small changes across one city add up for millions of birds passing overhead. Thanks for helping our migrating neighbors make it south safely.

🎉 Missouri came through for the wild places we all love! Amendment 1 passed with overwhelming support, renewing the 1/10 of 1% sales tax for state parks, soil, and water conservation for another 10 years.

This means continued protection for the habitats birds and other wildlife depend on, and it keeps Missouri's parks and natural spaces accessible for all of us.

This win came from every part of the state, with more than 80% support. That says a lot about how much Missourians value these resources. Thank you to everyone who registered, showed up, and voted for the environment we all rely on!

📢 Missouri Bird Lovers: the voter registration deadline for the August 4th election is THIS WEDNESDAY, July 8th.

This is an important election for our feathered friends! Voters will decide whether to pass Amendment 1, renewing the 1/10 of 1% sales tax for state parks, soil, and water conservation. This measure affects the habitats birds and other wildlife depend on, and helps ensure all Missourians can keep enjoying the outdoors and all the native critters who call our state home.

We want every WBR supporter registered and ready to have a say.

✅ Check your registration status or register at sos.mo.gov
✅ Deadline: Wednesday, July 8th

More on Amendment 1 coming later this week. For now, just make sure you're on the rolls.

Aviary renovation day at WBR! Garry Gwinn and his team at Humane Wildlife Solutions came out to lower our ceilings, redo our floors, and predator-proof our aviaries so our patients have the safest possible environment on their way back to the wild.

People ask us all the time who they should call when wildlife gets into their homes, and our answer is always Garry. He understands what we do and why it matters, and the animals are always his first priority.

We had an exciting morning at WBR!

Joel Sartore, National Geographic photographer and creator of the Photo Ark, spent the morning at our clinic photographing some of the patients in our care. The Photo Ark is one of the most ambitious wildlife documentation efforts in the world, working to photograph every species in human care before it's too late. Our team was thrilled to be able to contribute, along with a couple Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, a Belted Kingfisher, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and a few others who didn't disappoint 🐦

The final images won't be ready for months, but we can't wait to share them with you!
