Two geese at a nearby park were attacked by dogs - one was killed and the other was barely hanging on. We wrapped the goose in a towel, loaded it in our truck, and contacted B.E.A.K.S. Cindy answered immediately. We drove the bird out to their sanctuary just past Little Talbot Island where Cindy met us. She took great care... More

This lady who started this is a saint. A truly special place for birds traumatized usually by Man's cause, being nurtured back to health. More

We were walking the beach and came upon a seagull with a broken wing. We and another lady and man called multiple places to try and receive help for the bird for over an hour. We did hear back from BEAKS and spoke with Cindy who was extremely helpful. We drove the seagull to Cindy. On the way there, we... More

Not sure who all is running this organization. It seems as though it is a one woman run organization. Not sure if this is because of poor funding. It took a day or so before I heard back from Cindy but she did call and instructed to take our injured goose to the Hidden Hills Animal Hospital where they evaluate... More

I found a baby duckling that was in the middle of the street and would not leave it's sibling that had gotten run over. No mom or dad around so I brought him home and spent the night with us. The next morning I left messages at several different wildlife rescues, B.E.A.K.S. being one of them. I ended up calling... More

They have had periods where they were stable & actually helped birds/people and times where they were raided by animal control for hoarding and neglecting animals (cats mostly). They have taken advantage of local veterinarians generosity by asking for discounted services only to never pay the minimal fees. They do not answer... More
