Wild Bird Rehabilitation
The team at Northsong Wild Bird
Rehabilitation treats birds from all over
Arkansas and the surrounding areas.
There are many different types of birds,
though three common groups are
admitted regularly. If you know what to
look – and listen – for, it's easy to identify
each type:
• songbirds have an intricate voice
box that allows them to sing incredible
songs. Songbirds are a type of perching
bird and have special feet that allow them
to perch comfortably on branches. More
than half of the bird species in the world
are songbirds! Blue jays, cardinals and
American robins are songbirds.
• Waterfowl are built for the water.
They are strong swimmers thanks to
their webbed feet. Most waterfowl have
also long necks and waterproof feathers.
Mallards, Canada geese and wood ducks
are waterfowl.

• Raptors are carnivores, meaning
they eat meat. They are equipped with
sharp talons and curved beaks – a deadly
combination for their prey. Raptors are
also called birds of prey. Barred owls,
bald eagles and red-tailed
hawks are raptors.
