ADOPT A RAPTOR
Become part of the Adopt A Raptor program to help us generate funds for the birds’ long-term care at the Ornithology Center!
HOW IT WORKS
Thank you for your interest in supporting the Ornithology Center’s raptor ambassadors! We are currently in the process of updating our Adopt a Raptor program to better align with the Center’s capacity and needs.
At this time, we encourage all supporters to donate directly to the Ornithology Center Fund, which ensures that 100% of your contribution goes toward the care, feeding, and enrichment of our resident birds of prey.
If you made an Adopt a Raptor donation in 2024 or before March 1, 2025, a Foundation staff member will reach out to confirm your adoption benefits and ensure you receive any materials or acknowledgments associated with your adoption level.
Thank you for your patience and continued support!
WHY Support the Ornithology Center?
Your donation directly benefits the raptor ambassadors at the Ornithology Center, all of whom were wild-born, found injured by licensed wildlife rehabilitators, and deemed non-releasable due to their injuries.
These birds can no longer survive in the wild, but they serve as ambassadors for their species, helping educate visitors about raptor conservation. Your donation helps provide:
- Specialized housing and veterinary care
- High-quality food and enrichment activities
- Educational programs that inspire the next generation of conservationists
We deeply appreciate your generosity in supporting these incredible birds and the work of the Ornithology Center.
