AIDA assists over 3,000 birds and mammals annually. Mammals are cared for on a year-round basis at the homes of individually licensed rehabilitators. April through August, AIDA operates the Ruth Melichar Bird Center to care for the thousands of birds that come to us each spring and summer. Birds received in the off-season are cared for at the homes of individual avian rehabilitators.

The RMBC is open and staffed 7 days a week, 8 am - 8 pm. Many volunteers are needed to assist with the feeding and tending of the many birds under our care. The RMBC is located at 4650 N. 36th Street, Boise. The phone number is: 338-0897 effective mid-April.
