Bird-friendly PHX

Transforming our communities into places where birds flourish.

Birds need bird-friendly communities to thrive. We can help by creating healthy habitats where birds can find food, shelter, safe passage, and places for them to raise their young. 

Join us as we partner with the City of Phoenix for Bird-Friendly PHX. You'll have an opportunity to sign a pledge to do your part to help birds as they migrate through Phoenix facing challenges during their travels. Your bird-friendly actions can help make their journey safer and support the birds that call Phoenix home year-round. 

 September 29: Bird-Friendly PHX launch at the Rio Salado Audubon Center
Begin the evening with a stroll through the beautiful Rio Salado Audubon Center and enjoy a refreshment along with light appetizers. Programming begins at 6:00 p.m., when the 10-minute film Birds on the Move: Desert Rivers will be shown. The screening will also be followed by remarks from City of Phoenix and Audubon Southwest officials about what it means to make Phoenix a more bird-friendly city.

You’ll have an opportunity to sign the pledge to do your part to help birds this fall migration season and receive a beautiful poster designed by a local artist. Join us!
