Featherhaven Closes Its Wings | Seattle News

For twelve years, Featherhaven in Enumclaw was a beacon for injured songbirds—rescuing over 3,500 birds, including eagles, owls, and hummingbirds—run entirely by volunteers who poured their hearts into rehabilitating wildlife. Now, after years of physical and emotional toll, the center has closed its doors, with staff citing age and health as reasons they can no longer meet the demands. They’ll miss the work deeply. Birds like fledglings needed constant feeding and isolation to preserve natural instincts and species-specific songs. While Featherhaven handled songbirds, larger raptors were often transferred to specialized rescues like Raindancer Wild Bird Rescue. Even though the doors are shut, locals can still help: keep cats indoors, clean feeders, and avoid pesticides to protect birds in the wild.
