2014 has been a successful
year in achieving our mission. We at World Bird Sanctuary could
not have done it without you. We plan to
maintain this momentum in 2015 - but we need your financial support to help us
do it.
A busy year for our
wildlife hospital!
The almost 450 raptors admitted to World Bird Sanctuary's
Kathryn G. Favre Wildlife Hospital this year were cared for without any state, federal or
local government funding. Each year the hospital
and its patients rely entirely on donations from members of the public to treat
and care for wild injured birds.

Among
this year’s successes were a bald eagle whose foot got caught in a coyote trap, numerous barred owls and
great-horned owls, orphaned red-tailed hawks, and one very lucky broad-winged hawk that was treated by our wildlife hospital and completed his migration to
Florida via a plane ride!
To maintain this
momentum we need your help. Donate now to help our wildlife hospital help sick, injured and orphaned birds in 2015.
The Office of Wildlife
Learning inspires action!
One of the best parts of
being a naturalist presenting live bird programs at World Bird Sanctuary's environmental education department is facilitating what we call ‘the
light bulb moment’ – that instant when we watch a child in our audience light
up as they see a raptor fly for the first time.
School children learn about Xena the Eurasian Eagle Owl on a field trip to World Bird Sanctuary. |
As that owl flies over that child’s head, you can see the appreciation
and wonder at experiencing wildlife first hand.
For many children, and even adults, this moment is the one that sparks a
life-long interest in the natural world, and preserving habitats and those that
live in them.
Donate today to be part
of ‘the light bulb moment’ and foster a desire to preserve wildlife and the
habitats where they live in generations to come.
Our success is your success
We have over 37 years of
success in achieving our mission through our four focus areas, and numerous
