A Giving Initiative

Why We Give 

Birds are storytellers, survivors, and symbols of freedom - they need our help. With every purchase, you’re helping restore the skies and ecosystems they depend on.

How It Works

Donations from For My Chicks products go to non-profit conservation organizations based on where the items were sold. That means if you purchased in Canada, a Canadian organization benefits. If you’re in Australia, your purchase helps an Aussie group.
This keeps our giving local, responsive, and fair because conservation is global, but community starts close to home.

I was walking along by myself, and out flew this bird to accompany me.

Feather Impact Meter  

Tracking our journey from first sale to first donation - and beyond

While we’re just getting started, we believe in showing our progress every step of the way. The milestone tracker Below will reflect how far we’ve come on our path to supporting bird habitat conservation.
Once we make our first donation, we'll not only update the meter, we'll also add a “Field Notes” section right below with details and stories from each supported group.
