HDBC Bird Rescue, Foster, and Adoption Program

The High Desert Bird Club of New Mexico is dedicated to education in the best care, keeping, maintenance, and breeding of caged birds. One of our main goals is to provide rescue, adoption, foster care, and rehoming for caged birds in need. If you have a bird you can no longer care for, or would like to adopt a bird in need of a home, or maybe foster a bird that needs a home until it can be rehomed, you're in the right place.
