Implementation of a Bird Banding Program at Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre in Southern Manitoba
Abstract
This practicum project was the implementation of a bird banding program at Wildlife
Haven Rehabilitation Centre. The organisation identified the need to develop a
monitoring program to track avian patients post-release in order to better assess patient
survivability. This project resulted in multiple deliverables, including the permits needed
for Wildlife Haven to band birds; a comprehensive bird banding protocol for Wildlife
Haven Rehabilitation Centre which they can use in the bird banding pilot program in
partnership with Delta Marsh Bird Observatory; a suggested draft agreement between
Wildlife Haven and Delta Marsh outlining each organisation's roles in the program and
how each partner will achieve their goals together was completed; and an in-depth
research paper examining the role of wildlife rehabilitation in conservation and how the
data from these centres can produce valuable research for the wildlife community.
