Afternoon with the Birds: Iowa Bird Rehabilitation

Event Summary

Spring is here, which means many of Iowa’s birds are or will be migrating back and nesting once again. Spend the afternoon learning about our feathered friends and bird rehabilitation with Jenni Bookjakuakul, the founder/CEO of Iowa Bird Rehabilitation (IBR) in Des Moines.  

Birds worldwide are declining at an alarming rate. Jenni and her team are dedicated to taking care of Iowa’s sick and injured songbirds, waterfowl, gamebirds, shorebirds, and raptors. IBR was founded in 2012 and has taken in over 14,000 birds to date. After thousands of patients and more than a decade of rehabbing bird, Jenni has some crazy, unique, and heartwarming rescue stories she is excited to share. Participants will also learn ways to protect wild birds, help injured wildlife, and support IBR. This program is free, but donations to the IBR are welcomed.
