Audubon Societies
Audubon Societies specialize in rehabilitating avian birds, including raptors and migratory birds, but will also perform emergency euthanasia for severely injured or suffering urban wildlife.
Note: Oregon wildlife centers and Audubon Societies are required by law to euthanize all non-native wildlife on intake (including birds that ODFW designates as “non-native”).
