Has a funny looking, very loud little bird suddenly dropped down into your fireplace?
It's most likely a Chimney Swift!

ATTENTION RESCUERS:
As a 100% volunteer-led organization, Wild Nest is run by dedicated individuals who give their free time for the love of Georgia’s native birds. We do not receive any government funding and have no paid staff.
During baby season, we regularly receive 40+ calls in one day and may admit dozens of birds in a week. Regrettably, in order to keep doing what we do, we must pause intakes on occasion due to light staffing.
​
Information on overnight care for birds can be found here: bird care page and our resources page has information on fellow rehabilitation facilities and licensed home rehabbers.

We welcome new volunteers!

Help Our Songbirds Migrate Safely!
Atlanta is a dangerous city for migrating birds. Many birds migrate at night, and light pollution can disrupt their navigation and disorient them. Structures and glass pose additional threats. Sadly, up to two billion birds perish each year in collisions, and the highest mortality occurs during migration. Visit these links to see how you can help reduce bird collisions during migration and year-round.
