Liberty Wildlife (hospital intake from 8am-6pm daily, open to public varies - see website) — Local services in Phoenix

Very easy and quick drop off window for sick and injured wildlife. Huge facility! Only local rehabber( I know)that actually has Vets on staff and medicine and things that the animals need, unlike other rehabbers that run it out of their home & often are overwhelmed & do not get medicine or aid for the needy ones.

See the website prior for drop-off hours and animals they’re taking.

We brought injured and sick doves, quail over the years, took couple minutes and ppl were friendly, except one boy a couple years ago seemed rude and uninterested to say the least. I hope he is not there anymore.

Last time I brought in baby birds, and I asked to see where they would be kept, they would not show me! I asked if they could take a picture of the facility where they would be held and they refused(this part is not available on the tour), keep in mind there was nobody else there dropping off . They said that all the baby birds of each kind are kept together in one big cage. So how do they get returned close to where they were found… as they state? Also, the intake people had no idea about how the birds are prepared to go back into the wild. You can’t just hold baby birds in captivity and release them! They need to be taught and trained to fend for themselves, forage and be wary of predators. This cannot happen in the cage. They said they have a foster mom, but they also have tons of baby birds, so one foster mom cannot take care of a hundred baby birds at once. I pray that they are not one of those facilities that gets funding based on numbers only …and not based on surviving. If you read this and you go in, can you please ask them and see if you can get an answer?

The facility does tours(tours are closed in August) and a lot of the volunteers come out with different large birds mostly, that you can see up close, could be interesting for kids and adults. We enjoyed the tour. Next time I go, I’m gonna ask again about how they prepare the baby birds to be released because if they don’t, they will NOT survive based on articles I read about birds raised...

I recently attended a nature walk event hosted by Liberty Wildlife last Saturday, and it exceeded all expectations. Accompanied by my granddaughter, who is just four years old, we embarked on a journey through nature that was both enriching and enjoyable.

The moment we arrived, it was evident that Liberty Wildlife takes pride in maintaining a top-notch facility. The grounds were immaculately kept, and the care and attention given to the animals were truly commendable. It was reassuring to see the residents thriving in such a nurturing environment.

The staff were not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, offering insightful commentary throughout the walk and readily answering any questions we had. Their passion for wildlife conservation was palpable and added an extra layer of depth to the experience.

Furthermore, the convenience of ample parking made our visit hassle-free, allowing us to focus solely on enjoying the adventure that awaited us.

As we traversed the trail, we were treated to a wealth of discoveries, from the diverse bird species to the telltale signs of beavers along the Salt River. Each moment was a testament to Liberty Wildlife's dedication to providing an engaging and educational experience for visitors of all ages.

And of course, the highlight of the day was meeting Aura, the majestic resident eagle, whose presence left an indelible impression on both my granddaughter and myself.

In summary, our experience with Liberty Wildlife was nothing short of exceptional. Their commitment to conservation, coupled with their welcoming atmosphere and well-maintained facilities, makes them a standout destination for nature enthusiasts of all kinds. I wholeheartedly recommend their nature walks as a must-do activity for anyone looking to connect with nature and create lasting memories...

While working on my yard I uncovered 4 baby Cottontail Tail Rabbits which in my estimation were no older than 6 days. Their eyes were just beginning to open.

After disturbing the nest and the necessity to move the babies because of the impending irrigation of the property, it impossible for the mother to find her young. I had another occasion in which I dug out a tree stump only to find another baby rabbit. In both cases I took the baby rabbits to the Liberty Wildlife center. They assured me in no uncertain terms that the helpless babies would not be euthanized and given the utmost care to insure that they would eventually be set free. God bless these people. If you actually hold one or more of these precious babies in your hands you would know how reassuring it is to know that these helpless creatures would eventually be free to enjoy the gift of life that God has given them.

When I left Liberty Wildlife center my heart felt a sigh of relief knowing that these precious, helpless, babies were going to be cared for with love and kindness. There is nothing more precious on this Earth than little baby rabbits. Their little cries breaks your heart.

I don't know if you know what the "Butterfly Effect" is but if you do you will know that saving these creatures could alter the future of the Earth. A simple act such as this might change the course of the world. We do not know in which way this might manifest itself but it is possible.

The Liberty Wildlife center is looking for volunteers to take care of the animals that are taken there to get a chance to live their life on this Earth as part of God's plan. If you have free time and want to make a difference in this life I urge you to donate some money or time to this place.

Take...
