Friday is National Bird Day and many are working to help them.
In case you are wondering.
Friday January 5 is “National Bird Day” and Urban Nature Stores is giving 10% of their sales of bird seed to Ontario Wildlife Rescue Centers (OWRC). They are the first retailer in Ontario to offer such a sponsorship.
Urban Nature Stores are supporting Wildlife Rescue Centers in Ontario with the Seeds of Kindness campaign. The OWRC take in injured and orphaned wild animals, rehabilitate and release them back into the wilds.
Most Centers are run by volunteers and do not receive support from government. They are completely dependent on the public for support.
Urban Nature is one company that is giving a portion of their bird seed sales to a good cause.
“Urban Nature Store is proud to support the Seeds of Kindness program to support OWRC,” said company founder Paul Oliver. “The work being done by wildlife rescues organizations is meaningful and lifesaving to birds and wildlife in need of recovery and support.”
Urban Nature Store is a haven for bird enthusiasts and nature lovers, where birdwatching dreams take flight.
The company is proudly Canadian and has eight retail stores, stretching from St. Catharines to Kingston and through the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Many species of birds are at risk due to the changing weather and vegetation.
“The Seeds of Kindness program is our way of saying thank you to the hundreds of volunteers that work tirelessly every day to help injured birds and wildlife,” Oliver said. “In addition to donating the proceeds of bird seed sales on Bird Day, Urban Nature Store will be working to increase the awareness of the work being done by the OWRC.”
The OWRC works with over 50 Wildlife Rescue Centers (Wildlife Rehabbers) across the province.
Ontario Wildlife Rescue connects the public with wildlife rescue centers (www.ontariowildliferescue.ca). OWRC also help find resources (food, medical supplies and veterinarians) for Wildlife Centers across Ontario.
They proudly serve their Canadian customers nationwide through their online store, www.UrbanNatureStore.ca
