Amidst record extreme heat, baby birds are tumbling from their nests

Your first annual gift will be matched for the birds we love.

When birds are in trouble, so are we. Double your impact today.

Dear KAREN, Baby birds are tumbling from their nests, ending up at wildlife rehabilitation centers dehydrated and in dire need of fluids. The cause of this catastrophe happening before our eyes? Record extreme heat fueled by climate change. Among the most susceptible to high temperatures are small songbirds that dehydrate quickly, like the American Goldfinch. Birds can't ask for your help. So we're asking for them: Will you start an annual donation now to protect the birds we love? For a limited time, your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000 thanks to a group of generous donors—so please, start your annual gift right away. Your annual gift will renew automatically each year, providing uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on in their work year after year.

Severe heat waves are predicted to increase in intensity, frequency, and duration in the coming years—and even birds not directly killed by extreme heat can suffer long-term health damage as a result. But thanks to generous support from people like you, we're building a more sustainable future for birds and people alike. Through research, advocacy, and hands-on conservation action to maintain and protect resilient landscapes across the nation, we are pushing for the large-scale change it will take to ease habitat loss and help reverse the climbing temperatures of the climate crisis.

Climate-vulnerable birds need your help today

The American Goldfinch has already lost over a quarter of their populations since 1966

With 3 billion birds lost in the last 50 years, we must do all we can to protect the species that remain

This work, and all of our work on behalf of birds, is only possible with the steadfast support of caring bird lovers like you. So please, start your annual recurring donation right away, while your first gift will be matched, up to $5,000, for birds and their habitats. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
