State 33 - North Carolina

Carolina Raptor Center - Huntersville, NC

Each bird in the raptor hospital has an individual treatment plan that is monitored to ensure they receive exactly the right type of care. It’s good for baby birds to have company so we try to give them nestmates which means we need color coding to monitor who is who! They will lose all their downy feathers before they leave the hospital so the rainbow colors don’t last long.

This is a fun place, and I’ve gotten to make a visit here once before. Lots of great birds, nice facility, and a pretty good merch shop. They seem to have many events in their Facebook page so go check them out!
