From World Bird Sanctuary

There is still time to sign up for our Rescue & Transport training!

We need volunteers who are willing to contain injured raptors and bring them to our hospital for care. We especially need people who are willing to drive an hour or more each way, as our rescue radius is up to 3 1/2 hours. Attend one of our training sessions on either Tuesday, March 31st, from 6-7:30pm or Sunday, April 12th, from 2:30-4pm.

Details about how the rescue group works are part of the training. At the end of the training, you’ll be able to sign up for the group if you are still interested in participating. You’ll also be able to purchase rescue supplies if needed.

Don’t have the time for a weekly shift but still want to get up close to cool wildlife? Getting approved for wildlife transport doesn’t take long, some even do it over zoom now, and if a little critter needs transport, pop it in your car and get it to its doctor appointment.

Clinics are often very busy with the treatment, so we don’t often have our own people to do the running around of patients.

But if you want to drive around with a raccoon, opossum, owl, or other wild things, look into using a wildlife transport class!

    I’ll add her to the wait list 😉

    I want flying squirrels this year. I spoke up too late last year.

      There’s a waitlist?

      Why am I not surprised.

        We don’t seem to get many owls, especially not rabbit munching sized. If you want some Red tailed hawks, I usually have a bunch of those in stock.

          To be fair, they’re really quite small. The northern hawk owls handle them happily.

            Now that’s one I want! The NHO!

            We don’t have them here.
