| What We Do |
Wildlife suffer from a wide range of injuries, illnesses, and problems. Some animals are orphaned or fall from their nests. Others suffer from broken wings, disease, malnutrition, or other afflictions. The overwhelming source of problems are related to human activities.
Other problems we deal
with are lead shot and sinkers, oil contamination, cat & dog attacks, impact with windows, impact with vehicles, gun shot wounds, pesticide poisoning, habitat loss, and glue boards and rat poison
Our goal is to always
return animals back to the wild.
If animals are domestics, exotic or non
native we place them appropriate homes.
We routinely place non releasable
wildlife in zoos or other educational
settings as well we utilize a wildlife
sanctuary to provide the most
appropriate and humane outcome for the
birds in our care.
