About Us
The Coastal Bend is home to an amazing variety of birds – some native, some migratory, many threatened and endangered. Wings Rescue Center is a State and Federal permitted bird rescue rehabilitation center serving Aransas County and surrounding counties.
​
WRC cares for injured, orphaned and ill birds with the goal of returning them to the wild. The Center is comprised of two care centers and multiple cages and enclosures, including a raptor area, each designed to facilitate the rehabilitation of wild birds large and small, from hummingbirds to pelicans.
​
WRC's facility in South Texas takes in abandoned eggs and baby birds.
​
With the generous community support, Wings volunteers continue to work tirelessly to give birds a second chance at life in the wild.
