If
you have an injured bird or other wildlife, please do not call Desert
Rivers Audubon. Call one of these rescue/rehabilitator organizations.
Liberty Wildlife primarily serves the central valley.
East
Valley Wildlife serves the east valley, Fallen Feathers serves the west
valley, and Wild at Heart in Cave Creek only takes raptors. Each of
these groups can assist you.
