SPCA Wildlife Center Seeks Empty Baby Food Jars

Do you have extra empty baby food jars laying around? The SPCA Wildlife Center could use them to help our rescued baby birds!

Every year, the SPCA Wildlife Center rescues hundreds of injured or orphaned baby birds. Currently, we are caring for 20 wild bird babies, with many more on the way. The rescued babies include Chickadees, Bushtits, Wrens, Mockingbirds, Robins, Towhees, Juncos, Scrub-jays, and Crows. These young babies require multiple feedings a day, and that’s where empty baby food jars can really help!

The SPCA Wildlife Center is seeking empty 4 ounce glass baby food jars with lids to help.

Most baby birds need to be fed every 30 minutes from 7 am to 7 pm, adding up to over 450 feedings each day. This vital rescue work is made possible by your donations, and gifts of baby food jars truly make our rehabilitation work easier.

The SPCA Wildlife Center is the only full-service wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center in Monterey County, rescuing over 2,500 injured, sick, and orphaned wild animals every year. Right now, we are caring for 71 59 baby wild animals, including hawks, pigeons, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and songbirds.
