We’re a scrappy grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization not afraid to ruffle feathers. We’re the bulldog large organizations have helped behind the scenes to get a job done that might otherwise have upset politicians or their corporate partners. We’re the ones employees leak information to when agencies and companies fail to follow environmental laws. We’re the ones who believe nature needs to be protected in our communities and not outsourced far away to mitigation banks out of convenience or for money. And that means we are often in the field – not often on the computer or in an office.

To save birds, we conduct undercover operations, rescue injured birds, stand down bulldozers, watchdog development sites, and create habit from unlikely sources.

Urban Bird Foundation was started as Burrowing Owl Conservation Network, which remains a priority project for the organization.
