Maggy Pollicino, Outreach Coordinator for the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center, introduces us to the world of wildlife rehabilitation and, more specifically, the web of interconnection between our avian friends and the greater ecosystem.

We gain insight into the intricacy of bird biology, making new connections between different feather types and their functions, feeding behaviors and the threats introduced by human activities.

And we go beyond birds to gain a glimpse of the human ecosystem of organizations that have come together in a commitment to preserve and protect our natural world, a local community having a far-reaching impact.

Inspiring and enlightening, you’ll learn more about birds than you’ve known to ask and be reminded that the power of connection can power positive change.
