You may remember this Mallard who was one of the first ducklings admitted to Wildlife Rescue earlier this year.

We're happy to share that the orphan duck has officially grown up and was just recently released back out into the wild!

Join us in celebrating this exciting !

This tiny Brown Creeper is one of the many young songbirds growing up at Wildlife Rescue right now.

This little climber was found dehydrated on the ground in a busy area, but with care and support, the bird has already bounced back and regained their energy.

Brown Creepers are found across much of B.C., but they’re masters of disguise. Their bark-coloured plumage helps them blend seamlessly into tree trunks, making them easy to miss unless you know what to look for. Keep an eye out for tiny movements spiralling up the bark; you might just spot one of these incredible little birds hard at work.

We wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you! ❤️

Because of the wildlife community's generosity, we not only met our Spring Match goal, but soared over it!

Everyone who donated to our match this year helped provide care for the next 362 wild babies who will arrive over the next weeks to our Wildlife Hospital.

Many of these animals include species like Northern Flickers, Mallards, Killdeer, Black-capped Chickadees, American Robins, American Crows, and much more.

We truly appreciate everyone's support this spring!🌸

This Anna's Hummingbird grew up right before our eyes!

They were brought in as a baby who tragically had fallen from their nest. Thankfully, the young hummingbird suffered no injuries and was raised in care until old enough to be released.

Join us in wishing them a wonderful !

Listen to those little peeps! 🤩

Recently, this teeny tiny orphaned Killdeer baby was brought to Wildlife Rescue. These shorebirds are highly sensitive to stress, so our team is providing this baby a quiet environment with plenty of hiding spots and some comforts to mimic the presence of other Killdeer!

Did you know that adult Killdeer will sometimes put on a 'broken-wing' act to keep their vulnerable young safe? This clever defence tactic helps draw predators away, giving their chicks a better chance to stay safe and hidden.

This merganser baby just found their flock! 🐥🐥🐥

Mergansers are incredibly social birds — they truly thrive in the company of their own kind. So when we learned that Wild ARC had two other young mergansers in their care, we knew exactly what to do. Our little one was transferred to their Vancouver Island facility, where the trio can recover together and give each other the best chance at a healthy future.

Thank you to BC SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) for sharing this footage of the mergansers' pool time!
