NYC Bird Alliance

NYC Bird Alliance (formerly New York City Audubon Society) is an American non-profit environmental organization founded in 1979 and incorporated in 1980. The group protects wild birds and their habitats in New York City, through science research, political advocacy, and education events to teach people about birds. With nearly 10,000 members, it is one of the largest affiliated chapters of the National Audubon Society.

In recent years, it has exercised particular influence in several areas: the restoration of the red-tailed hawk Pale Male's nest, work to reduce bird collisions with buildings including studying the fatal effects of light pollution and glass windows on migratory birds, encouraging installation of green roofs on city buildings, and protecting water birds.
