All jokes aside, these Rock Pigeons are pretty great!


Happy #FreedomFriday to this Glaucous-winged Gull! They spent several weeks growing up in care at Wildlife Rescue this summer after being found orphaned.


Multiple water birds have recently been admitted to our wildlife hospital after becoming stranded on land.

Fall migration brings back the Cackling Geese! We’ve received many reports of these and Canada Geese recently. Though they look like mini Canada Geese, Cackling Geese are their own unique species! Swipe to spot the key differences!

Like many other birds this fall, this Western Tanager came into care after striking a window. Thanks to the medical staff, he has fully recovered and returned to the wild. Join us in wishing him a happy #FreedomFriday!


With the clocks falling back, our commutes now coincide with prime hunting hours for owls and other raptors, increasing the risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions. Slow down and stay alert, especially on roads 80km/h and above.
