"So many people find baby birds and no one knows what to do," says director Phoenix Morgaine.
"Ultimately our goal is to establish a rehabilitation center here on Oahu for the birds. Until that time we are asking caring members of our community to help us raise and release orphaned birds out of their homes and adopt non-releasable birds in need of a permanent home."
