What is Adopt-A-Bird-Band?

Adopt-A-Bird-Band is a fundraising effort on behalf of the bird migration research program based at Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s Powdermill Nature Reserve.

The Adopt-A-Bird-Band program invites nature lovers of all ages to become personally involved in supporting the vital biodiversity and conservation research at the core of Carnegie Museum of Natural History's mission.

Adoptions make great gifts for bird lovers, budding naturalists, conservation enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to celebrate the holidays in a unique and special way!

Explore this website to learn about available birds and program benefits. Adopters at all levels, from $25 to $100, receive certificates of adoption, replica bird bands, and alerts about bird migration research at Powdermill and the Center for Biodiversity and Ecosystems. Adopters will also be invited to a special behind-the-scenes tour of the banding facility.

Take the Laurel Foundation challenge!  The Laurel Foundation will match your adoption donation dollar for dollar, up to a total of $20,000! Bird banding and the Adopt-A-Bird-Band program are projects of Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s Center for Biodiversity and Ecosystems.
