Adoptions are symbolic and represent how your donation can help International Bird Rescue's work on behalf of aquatic birds worldwide. Your gift will be used where needed most to rescue and rehabilitate birds impacted by both natural and man-made threats, such as oil spills and algal blooms.
Please note that bird adoptions no longer include a certificate of adoption, band number, or photograph, however if you would like us to send a letter to someone letting them know that you have made a gift in their honor, please include their contact information in the instructions.
International Bird Rescue is a non-profit organization, and your gift is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
 | Adopt a Pelican - $250Over the years, International Bird Rescue has treated thousands of Pelicans. Pelicans consume upwards of 5 pounds of fish a day, and it can cost more than $200 for every one of these majestic creatures we save. |
 | Adopt a Heron - $100Every spring and summer our centers are filled with aquatic birds including egrets and herons. With donor help, we successfully raise and release over 500 egrets and herons a year. |
 | Adopt a Loon - $75Loons are diving birds that live in lakes and oceans around the world. They are especially sensitive to oil spills since loons dive rather than fly when they encounter oil slicks. |
 | Adopt a Murre - $50Murres spend most of the non-breeding season at sea, diving for food. Major oil spills along central California coast have had significant impact on their populations. |
 | Adopt a Duckling - $25Every spring and summer our centers are filled with orphaned ducklings. With donor help, we successfully raise and release over 1,000 ducklings a year. |
