Greg discovered The Raptor Trust while diving into an internet search rabbit hole about birds. Given our proximity to their home and a history of family members volunteering here, it was a perfect fit! Greg is one of our most reliable and dedicated volunteers, always willing to help in any way. Their favorite aspects of volunteering include making new friends, falling in love with pigeons, and the joy of observing birds in their final stage before release. By far, the bird that captures Greg's heart the most is the European Robin, the first bird they ever recognized and knew by name. Special shout out to Pearl, our resident American Robin, and to catbirds in general as two other top picks for Greg. With a background primarily in film and TV, volunteering here has been quite the pivot for Greg. Their experience at TRT has inspired them to pursue a full-time career in Animal Care. Staff and fellow volunteers cannot thank Greg enough for their passion and dedication to our organization. We love you, Greg! https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/2025-event-sponsors monthly 0.5 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/a32b2495-7ebf-4cca-a836-33b9607280d3/Save+the+Date+2025+WFH.png TRT News - Event Sponsorship Opportunities - Walk for Hawks October 4th - 12th Walk for Hawks, our signature virtual fall event, engages participants in supporting wild birds injured during the fall migration season.

Michael is one of our devoted Raptor Cage Cleaning volunteers. An avid bird photographer, he was looking for more ways to help birds and satisfy his fascination… and lucky for us, he chose The Raptor Trust. Even though it's hard work, Michael thinks it's a privilege to be in close proximity to these magnificent birds. His favorite bird is the fastest one on earth, the Peregrine Falcon! Being a raptor cage cleaner here means helping care for our permanent resident birds. One thing that surprised him was discovering all the differing personalities among the Raptor residents here at TRT. Staff and fellow volunteers thank this talented photographer and world traveler for his dedication to this organization's mission. TRT loves you, Michael! https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/featherfest-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/07513e98-2913-499b-809e-dc455ee9e236/FeatherFest+STD+Options+2025+%28Instagram+Post%29.png TRT News - FeatherFest 2025 - Save the Date!

Colonel Colonel was shot in the wing in Maine, and despite efforts to stabilize it, infections prevented his wing from healing properly. Despite these hardships, he has shown incredible resilience and strength. Uno Uno was found emaciated and unable to care for herself after fledging in Sitka, Alaska. She has an atrophied right eye, but with the dedicated care she receives at The Raptor Trust, she continues to thrive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/e65d4807-b585-436c-afb7-8668f21f40da/Uno+and+Colonel+Bald+Eagle+Rick+Rescorla+Memorial+Enlosure.jpg TRT News - Honoring Our Bald Eagles - Uno and Colonel's enclosure holds a special place in our hearts. After the tragic events of 9/11, this enclosure was memorialized to honor the memory of Rick Rescorla, a veteran and head of security for Morgan Stanley. He led the firm's entire staff to safety and went back into the Twin Towers to save more people. Rick Rescorla's heroic actions and his ultimate sacrifice are remembered through this enclosure, serving as a tribute to his courage and dedication. He and his wife, Susan, were early supporters of The Raptor Trust, and we are proud to honor his legacy in this way. https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/measuring-our-impact monthly 0.5 2025-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1735073671507-3SCBXZA9AQ7HXABPQ8R5/Thank+You+for+being+part+of+TRT%27s+Growth.png TRT News - Measuring Our Impact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/60147002-62f8-454a-920b-7df94cf316c4/Total+Admits+with+Projections.png TRT News - Measuring Our Impact - It took us 40 years, from 1977 to 2016, to admit our first 100,000 birds, but it will take us half that time to admit the second 100,000. This remarkable progress is a testament to our ongoing commitment to avian care and conservation. We realized that by the end of this year, we'll have admitted a total of over 147,000 avian patients since our records began in 1977. Given that 5,000 annual average, this means that at some point in 2025, we will admit our 150,000th bird! In 2016, 40 years after Len Soucy first began keeping records in 1977, we admitted our 100,000th bird. It has only been eight years since then! After looking at the numbers, we've found that the total number of birds we treat grows by about 4% each year. With this growth rate, we expect to hit the 200,000 mark around 2033. But, if we stick to our current average admissions, we might reach that milestone by 2035. https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/one-of-the-smallest-hawks monthly 0.5 2024-12-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1734555030893-ATKIPT0U68IB7SG035EA/Sharp-shinned+Hawk+Admit+%2324-4638+.png TRT News - One of the Smallest Hawks - Sharp-shinned Hawk Admit #24-4638 On a cold December day, a Hunterdon County resident found an unlikely visitor in their yard: this Sharp-shinned Hawk (pictured)! The kind individual carefully collected the bird and brought it here to TRT’s Infirmary, where our Rehab Technicians quickly began their examination and assessment. The bird had apparently suffered from an impact, and it had some discharge in its mouth. So far, we have treated the bird for a bacterial infection and two different intestinal parasites. After a few days it was improving enough to move into a bigger enclosure where flight would be possible - while it can fly, it is flying low so this bird is scheduled to receive an X-ray of its right shoulder. This Sharp-shinned Hawk may have been wintering in New Jersey, or may have been passing through on its migration journey from its breeding grounds in Canada to warmer destinations in South America. For now, though, it will stay in care here at TRT until it regains its strength and health. Sharp-shinned Hawks are the smallest accipiters in North America: they are only slightly larger than your average blue jay! They prefer to hunt in wooded areas and are known for their agile flight. Unfortunately, they face challenges such as habitat loss, which has led to their designation as a species of special concern by the NJDEP. Your support helps ensure these beautiful birds receive the care they need during their migration. https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/barred-owl-24-4465-update monthly 0.5 2024-12-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/55c73436-58bf-434d-9a71-6dd15b5e9014/Barred+Owl+Admit+%2324-4465.png TRT News - Barred Owl (24-4465) Update - Make it stand out This photo was taken December 19, 2024. https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/an-unusual-goose monthly 0.5 2024-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1730922394859-WMBSMW9NBT30EUXBZVCA/Brant+in+care+at+TRT+%28photographed+in+an+indoor+enclosure%29+%285%29.JPG TRT News - An Unusual Goose https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1730922393498-Z7B3BTV99UL6U6UP4Z94/Brant+in+care+at+TRT+%28photographed+in+an+indoor+enclosure%29+%284%29.JPG TRT News - An Unusual Goose https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1730922391435-9YEEKD9HM5O8ZEOQMUW6/Brant+in+care+at+TRT+%28photographed+in+an+indoor+enclosure%29+%282%29.JPG TRT News - An Unusual Goose https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1730922393429-44N0C9E6WCA51P3PK354/Brant+in+care+at+TRT+%28photographed+in+an+indoor+enclosure%29+%283%29.JPG TRT News - An Unusual Goose https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1730922391494-JWP6GHK5MEENPJ7LIG0V/Brant+in+care+at+TRT+%28photographed+in+an+indoor+enclosure%29+%281%29.JPG TRT News - An Unusual Goose https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/2024-annual-lecture-guest-announced monthly 0.5 2024-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613476586-JJEBRAGP4JW2WWYHHM44/BigYear_NoahStrycker_CentralPeru.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613487578-BKF94BQGFT44OBID75VF/BigYear_SpottedKingfisher_Philippines.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613469887-FEQ79P8K27Q9H4H7HAQY/BigYear_GoldenMaskedowl_PapuaNewGuinea.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613521877-3TOKN3VOZFRO2HXDBADG/BigYear_NoahStrycker_Argentinacloudforest.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613476014-N8DUSYMZZH1POY46TAZ1/BigYear_cloudforest_Colombia.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613470853-7GQ7DRJG4ZNZEPXA08UK/BigYear_GreatHornbill_India.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613495943-6I001I5ZZUDODF40DNMU/BigYear_NoahStrycker_nearDenpasarBali.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613478429-NC35MY722ABFNQFDWSJB/BigYear_GentooPenguins_Antarctica.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613481398-HGYFPGH095PRKX99SDCB/BigYear_Long-whiskeredOwlet_Peru.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613488416-HMPFQT2G6BH3K57YX8NY/BigYear_NoahStrycker_India.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613491941-NDI19AOWVR9K5M18HYQI/BigYear_ShiningHoneycreeper_Panama.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613492799-T5QUDZ5FXOL6W2ALWFF4/BigYear_Red-and-yellowBarbets_Kenya.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1729613481530-2MY6OTS8CI4SZR3P154L/BigYear_NoahStrycker_Chile.JPG TRT News - 2024 Annual Lecture Guest Announced https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/volunteer-spotlight-oct-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/b609bc3d-d503-4750-8a3b-7288e67109d5/October+2024+-+Summer+Scholars+Outgoing+Class.png TRT News - Volunteer Spotlight - Summer Scholars '24 - As we close another successful busy season at The Raptor Trust, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Summer Scholars Class of 2024. While some of you were camera shy and not pictured, we sincerely thank all of you for your work over the summer: Kyle Norris Thomas Kelly Katrina Young Bennett Low Kaitlyn Charles Emma Dougherty Violette Hauge Brooke Struble Will Boyce Your dedication and passion for wildlife rehabilitation shined through as you hand-fed fledgling songbirds, prepared specialized diets, and helped care for hundreds of injured and orphaned birds. You worked alongside our technicians, observing diagnostic procedures, monitoring bird behavior, and assisting with public inquiries—all while building skills in communication, teamwork, and time management. We know the work was demanding, from long hours on your feet to learning the intricate details of avian rehabilitation, but you rose to every challenge with enthusiasm and compassion. Your contributions were invaluable, and your efforts directly impacted the lives of countless baby birds. Thank you for making this summer one to remember—we are excited to see where your passion for conservation and education takes you next. You will always be a part of The Raptor Trust family! https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/volunteer-spotlight-caroline-fernandes monthly 0.5 2024-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/f3085009-2678-4e0d-9a78-9ce0872aa576/July%2C+2024+Caroline+Fernandes.png TRT News - Volunteer Spotlight - Caroline Fernandes - Caroline Fernandes (left) with her daughter (center) and husband (right). This month, the spotlight shines out on none other than Caroline Fernandes! Caroline's journey with The Raptor Trust began through her husband and daughter, both devoted volunteers. The Fernandes family's loyalty to TRT runs deep, and we're fortunate to have them. Caroline serves as one of our most diligent and devoted receptionists. Her responsibilities include training new volunteers, organizing bird admits, and educating members of the public who bring us avian patients. It's not always easy to witness thoughtless behavior affecting birds, but Caroline finds solace in her work at TRT. She sees firsthand how many people go out of their way to bring injured birds to us, reaffirming her faith in humanity. Beyond the rewarding work, Caroline cherishes the friendly environment at TRT. She's learned valuable lessons from both the staff and her fellow volunteers. As for her favorite bird, Caroline has a soft spot for the Northern Flicker. Outside of TRT, Caroline also volunteers at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum in Morristown. Her passion and humor make her an invaluable part of our team. Thank you, Caroline, for all your hard work – The Raptor Trust wouldn't be the same without you! https://www.theraptortrust.org/news/using-enrichment-to-better-our-resident-raptors-lives monthly 0.5 2024-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/c3c56c05-8140-410a-ad7f-2e74472a962f/Aretha+with+cabbage TRT News - Using Enrichment to Better Our Resident Raptors’ Lives Raptors don’t eat vegetables, but that doesn’t mean they can’t play with them!

corporation dedicated to the preservation and well-being of wild birds. We receive no government support and rely on private contributions to continue our work treating and rehabilitating wild birds. Sometimes it seems we have more hungry beaks than bucks to feed them! And so we greatly value our community of wildlife lovers, who support TRT in various ways.

Soucy, Jr. | 1932 – 2014 Len and Diane Soucy set a standard for excellence in wildlife rehabilitation. While Len often took center stage, speaking in public to groups of all sizes throughout New Jersey and beyond, Diane dedicated her life to work behind the scenes. Together, they were an inspiration to countless people, many of whom have gone on to work in the environmental field. To honor their passion for and dedication to sharing the beauty, wonder and importance of his wild feathered friends, we are proud to maintain this fund. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1e7e668f-cd9f-468d-b4ad-bea192fa297d/Diane+Soucy.jpg Memorial Fund - Projects The Memorial Fund provides scholarship opportunities for groups experiencing financial need to attend our programs at a free or reduced price. We recognize that there are many barriers to access for environmental education, and the Memorial Fund allows us to address this issue so that any group can attend our programs, regardless or race, gender, religion or economic status. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/12ccc5dc-70a0-48ee-b6e1-371abdd450f2/LDSMF+Annual+Lecture+Series+%281%29.png Memorial Fund - Annual Lecture Series Each fall, the LDSMF honors the memory of TRT’s founders with a lecture featuring a noted expert in ornithology, conservation, or related fields. The Memorial Fund allows TRT to offset the cost to run such an event, enabling us to charge modest ticket prices so that the lecture is accessible to a wider community. https://www.theraptortrust.org/leonard-j-soucy-jr-memorial-service daily 0.75 2024-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418611822-5ZJUG0YOCWUSELQJ2C0O/Eagle-Conversation1.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418611868-ATC49OR2I4LAOZMQV384/Eagle-Release-with-Jim-Stamey.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418612713-61E8MUIYTH22S1YV4W4A/Kittatinny-Mountain-Station.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418617307-OL2FTKWJCJ6P0UB3EM8O/Wedding-Day-1956.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418610980-OZ8AUY7BZ2YNYH4H4NIQ/Barn-Owl-Lecture.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418614489-BJ7ERRTB80R0IM2VFLIG/Len-for-back-cover-600x400.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418615522-2O7Z6I9RVSGLYIYNCENW/Loon-Release.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418613582-449ZG04IHEHO8PSQYVLR/Len-Bowling.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418613502-OK5S2KUQNTXWXT7LABSD/Len-Baseball1.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418617399-33W8MQC2S395YJKJ47J7/With-Baby-Great-Horned-Owls-1983.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418616537-5PKK1MWJ49H9KJ0D5EP7/Shovels-and-Buckets.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418614534-XGQBFFHSAVM38AITVO0R/Len-Soucy-for-program-cover-400x600.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418610929-ITVTMQVSDCP1ENUA62Q5/002_002_2_400x600.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418612654-L5O9KNV6VK2WT7DZIAHA/In-The-Blind.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418615436-8PPV8ENU47ITEMN797O7/Lens-First-Bird-Rehabilitation.jpg Memorial Service https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1706418616383-DSVEYM6E3YNDWUBLYQ69/Sharing-Knowledge.jpg Memorial Service https://www.theraptortrust.org/volunteer daily 0.75 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/15b33fe0-c34a-4dab-9d58-26c59058ccb2/Logo+sign+on+Enclosure+the+raptor+trust.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1709145399723-USJNLVCU5Z6VO1V3L4HM/Community+Day+Caroline+Jim+and+Terry.png Volunteer Positions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1709145399722-PFP16PBEQA9DWV3N43ZX/Community+Day+Ashlee+Sister+Volunteer+Ice+Cream.png Volunteer Positions https://www.theraptortrust.org/volunteer-application daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://www.theraptortrust.org/scholarship daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/79db4f54-c771-4561-a486-fb2624356a0e/TRT+sign+on+enclosure.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/b7311535-194a-4f5b-b169-603f0e3a7f34/Leonard+and+Diane+Soucy.jpg Soucy Memorial Fund Scholarship - Make it stand out Diane and Leonard Soucy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/449d9d9c-4862-420b-9da0-d747d23df4a4/programs+scholarships+the+raptor+trust.png Soucy Memorial Fund Scholarship - The Programs Education is a critical component of our mission. Our educators have developed effective and memorable programs on topics of environmental concern that can be tied to STEM learning standards for school groups. Programs like “Vulture Ventures,” “All About Owls” and “From Rehab to Release” serve to promote a better understanding of wild birds and environmental stewardship, including: the places that birds like to live, hunt, nest, and migrate how human behavior impacts wild bird populations ways we can help address environmental issues affecting birds appreciation and respect for wildlife Regarding Travel Assistance: While we will consider requests to cover traveling expenses, area K-12 schools may also be eligible for bus expenses through the Field Trip New Jersey fund with the Community Foundation of New Jersey. We encourage you to apply for funding; TRT may also be able to apply on your behalf: contact development@theraptortrust.org if you would like to request assistance. https://www.theraptortrust.org/summer-scholars-program daily 0.75 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/719fbbd9-3898-41f8-81ab-9c5d984c118f/Dusky+Eastern+Screech+Owl.jpg Summer Scholars Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1709145399723-USJNLVCU5Z6VO1V3L4HM/Community+Day+Caroline+Jim+and+Terry.png Summer Scholars Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/c32724ec-35a6-4668-a14b-c80c56a9fdcc/TRT+Education+Center.jpg Summer Scholars Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/0e1bb2cd-240d-42fc-a8d6-41ab36b85882/Perm+-+kestrel+on+perch.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/223286d6-00b4-447c-a6b4-856fc0176283/young+songbirds+perched.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/a92ea31e-4da6-4fc5-b4f7-50721643f950/baby+birds+in+tissue.jpg https://www.theraptortrust.org/check-birds-status daily 0.75 2024-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/9e6b4585-a863-43ab-943c-2b6b9d73fa26/Michael+toscanno+photo+songbird.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/1711403788075-C7745DRYBD2RX30LZZ9O/owl+in+the+road.jpeg Admitted a Bird?

Animals that are brought here are often experiencing the worst day of their lives, whether they flew into a window, were hit by a car, or were orphaned. They don’t know that you were doing everything you could to help. To them, a huge predator captured them, contained them (that’s your car) and bounced them around inside. We have a designated quiet evaluation area where the birds await our highly trained staff to evaluate their injuries. Want to make this experience less harrowing for the bird you rescued? Drive with the radio off and don’t hold, pet, or talk to the animal. While that may work for your cat or dog, wild animals only see you as a danger and being shown off, patted, or spoken to can lead to severe stress or even death. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/44700ae8-0d2d-4e76-a566-a525558f65b9/bird+rehabilitation+nj.jpg Bird Infirmary - What Goes On In Our Infirmary? - Evaluation Once the animal has had time to calm down, our Wildlife Rehabilitation Technicians will evaluate the animal for external wounds, broken bones, or internal injuries. Unfortunately, for some birds, this is the end of the line for them. While humans can live with improperly healed injuries, birds cannot be released unless they are in near perfect condition. Our rehabilitation staff never makes the decision to euthanize a bird lightly, but their many years of experience have given them the knowledge to know which birds will absolutely not be releasable. Because captivity and rehabilitation can be so stressful, we choose not to prolong these animals’ suffering and, if the bird has no chance of recovery or survival, we humanely euthanize them using the same drugs that a veterinarian would use on your pets to half them pass away peacefully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/73664716-df3a-4c1b-ba19-643abbd7317b/unnamed.png Bird Infirmary - What Goes On In Our Infirmary? - Treatment If an animal is not so badly injured that we can attempt to rehabilitate them, the next step is to treat the injuries identified in their intake exam. This could mean stabilizing fractures, cleaning and bandaging wounds, administering anesthetics or antibiotics, or starting birds on medications that can treat poisoning, internal bleeding, or heavy parasite loads. We place the animals in special cages specific to the size and needs of the birds along with species-appropriate food, water bowls, and places to hide to minimize their stress. During this time, our staff continue to treat injuries and illnesses and clean and maintain the enclosures. As birds heal (which they do much faster than humans!) they are monitored for their ability to feed themselves, stand upright, climb, and fly, as appropriate for their species. This process can be quick if the injuries are minor, or it can take a long time for more severe injuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/3350a072-53b4-4f52-b7cb-d85255c46ff9/injured+bird+xray.jpg Bird Infirmary - What Goes On In Our Infirmary? - Further Evaluation Some birds require further evaluation or treatment, and The Raptor Trust is fortunate to have a full veterinary suite with X-Ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, and other diagnostic tools right on campus. Our veterinarian comes to our facility for surgeries, wound debridements, and other complex procedures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b32c9ef714453b1b011563/968c0d88-0d0e-42f5-a3e4-ea08ee561165/bird+rehab+release.jpg Bird Infirmary - What Goes On In Our Infirmary? - Rehabilitation and Release When birds are well enough to be out of our intensive care area, we move them to flight cages so they can build up strength after their recuperation. These areas are also species appropriate, and outside where they can acclimate to the external temperature before being released. This is one of the most variable components of a bird’s rehabilitation journey and can last from a day to over a year. When a bird is ready to be released, our staff evaluates them on their ability to fly, self-feed, perch, and climb normally. Depending on the age of the bird, its species, time in rehabilitation, and the time of year, we will determine an appropriate release site.
