From rescue to freedom — this Painted Bunting’s journey shows what’s possible when we work together.
Our team brought this bird to the Florida coast where it normally would have migrated for winter and watched it take flight once again. 🪽
Your donations fuel every rescue, every recovery, and every flight home. And, every donation is MATCHED right now.

I got to see a Painted Bunting (a new bird for me!) in a small urban park here in Tucson, AZ. It was so colorful it HAD to be my Perpetual Journal art that week! 😍
