Some of our adoptees, or wards, come to us having been orphaned, some have been rescued from people who tried to make pets of them, and most of them are injured. Our sole purpose is to help them mend and get strong enough to be released back into the wild, where they belong. It is their natural environment, and all healthy wild born creatures should be allowed to stay wild and free.
 Great Horned Owl Chicks |
Raptors: "Birds of Prey" - Most baby raptors come in having fallen from the nest. They were either found after a storm, or they fell out because curiosity got them too close to the edge. The grown Hawks and Owls that are brought to us have been shot or hit by a car. |
 Barn Owl Chicks |
 Brown Pelican |
| Water Fowl: Pelican babies will try to test their wings or follow a parent. They are not strong enough to fly far, so they will glide on the wind and lose their bearing. They will land and walk around looking for something familiar. Grown Pelicans come to us with fish hooks and line or plastic wrapped around them. The geese that are brought to us usually have been shot. |
