It started with one injured bird, it led to hundreds of second chances.
Wildlife rehabilitation is about helping an animal through a difficult moment and, when we can, giving it back the life it was meant to live.
Jessika Madison-Kennedy is a state and federally licensed wildlife rehabilitator specializing in wild birds. She cares for injured and orphaned birds brought to her and helps finders determine when a bird truly needs intervention.
The goal is to give each bird the best possible chance to recover and, whenever possible, return to the wild.
Jessika works closely with other rehabilitators and wildlife centers, coordinating care and transfers when a bird would be better served by another facility or specialist.
This work is entirely volunteer and entirely donation-funded. If you’d like to help, here’s how.
