Kelsey McCord is the Registrar at World Bird Sanctuary.

Kelsey’s love of animals started at an early age, at her father’s veterinary clinic. She sought out a degree at University of Missouri-Columbia with animals. Kelsey did field work for several years with song birds and waterfowl in many places around the country.

A native to St. Louis, Kelsey began volunteering at World Bird Sanctuary summer of 2005, and was hired on as a staff member within a few weeks. She makes sure that the husbandry and health of the animals is optimal, and that all of their needs are being met. Kelsey works closely with the training, education, and rehabilitation staff to keep all of the birds happy and healthy.

She is very passionate about working with and caring for birds. Kelsey could talk about our birds all day long!
