International Bird Rescue needs interns interested in a rigorous, hands-on learning program that immerses them in every aspect of the operations of an aquatic bird hospital. From administering medications and collecting blood samples to cleaning cages, interns will learn about the species we care for and how to care for them.

Description

About International Bird Rescue - www.birdrescue.org

In 1971 after 800,000 gallons of crude oil spilled into the bay, concerned individuals led by a registered nurse named Alice Berkner jumped into action, bringing International Bird Rescue to life. We have always had to pave a road where there is none. Staff and volunteers work with tenacity alongside clients, partners, and the public to find solutions. Today, we research best practices at our crisis response hospitals in California and Alaska and share them worldwide.
