Adopt a Raptor

By adopting a raptor and becoming a sponsor, you will enable the Project to make additional improvements on the holding and training facilities, provide the best food for the birds, and purchase new handling equipment. As a bird's sponsor, you will receive a certificate of adoption, a picture and history of the adopted bird and a natural history note about the species. Adoptions make wonderful educational gifts for classrooms, children, and wildlife enthusiasts. To learn more about the different species we offer for adoption, click on the links below.
