ADOPT A RAPTOR
Are you a bird lover? Would you like to help? Consider adopting one of our raptor ambassadors for a year.
This is a great idea for kids, families, scout groups, businesses, classroom outreach/community service projects, birthday gifts, the holidays or wherever your imagination takes you!
Choose from:
• Ike, a Peregrine Falcon – the fastest creature on earth
• Soren, a Barn Owl – who brings a much-needed smile to everyone he meets
• Freya, a Red-tailed Hawk – the majestic queen of the Center
• Joplin, an American Kestrel – who makes her namesake Janis more than memorable.
Your donation provides:
* A specialized diet
* A healthy home in our mews
* Enrichment activities for the birds
* Medical care
* Enhances and expands our educational programs
* Travel expenses
Thank you, everyone!
His name, based on your votes, is Theodore Roosevelt, or Teddy!
Thank you, everyone, for helping us provide him with the food and gear he needs to be a fabulous avian ambassador. He now takes long walks on our property on glove. He is beginning to train to go into a travel crate. Hopefully he will make his program debut sometime this autumn or early winter.
Our mission is to conserve and protect native birds of prey and their natural habitats through education, rehabilitation, and research.
