Wildlife rehabilitation efforts have focused on the rescue and release of various bird species across different regions.

In Ponferrada, members of the Asociación Ornitológica de La Bañeza have worked to rescue a macaw that had been frequenting Temple Park for a month, using a caged macaw as a lure to ensure its safety before cold weather arrives. Additionally, the La Paz Government and Vesty Pakos Biopark released a white-throated hawk into the Pura Pura forest following veterinary rehabilitation for weight and plumage issues.

In Spain, technicians from the CREA Quiebrajano Endangered Species Recovery Center released a female Eurasian eagle owl in Mancha Real after it was rescued from a landfill waste pond. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, USA, the Aark Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center released a great blue heron that had been treated for injuries sustained from entanglement in fishing line.
