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
“Adopt a Raptor” is a donation to support Eagle Creek’s Ornithology Center and their mission to protect wildlife and educate others on the benefits of wildlife protection!
All adoptions are symbolic and in no way signify ownership.
Birds may not be held or touched. All birds may be adopted by more than one person.
Donations to Adopt A Raptor are considered “restricted funds” and go specifically to support the Ornithology Center.
WHY ADOPT A RAPTOR?
The funds are restricted to supporting the Ornithology Center. The Ornithology Center is home to several raptor ambassadors that were wild-born, found injured by licensed wildlife rehabilitators, and determined “non-releasable” due to injuries.
This means that they will never be able to survive in the wild again on their own and must be cared for by facilities like the Ornithology Center.
As ambassadors of their species, they help us educate about raptor conservation. The adoption program generates funds for the birds’ long-term care, housing, food, and enrichment!
