This is a well built and maintained facility. It was educational and fun to see so many different kinds of birds! The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable! We were able to see many birds up close and ask questions. Very cool and very affordable. Great family activity!

One of my favorite places in Florida to visit. If you are in the Orlando area and have any interest in raptors, or birds/wildlife in general, then they are a must see. The staff is very informative and extremely nice. All the photos I posted with the review were taken by me at the center it self over the many years I've been visiting.

I was so impressed with this raptor rehab center. The goal is to rehab and releases these beautiful creatures back to their natural habitat. It is easy to see that everyone there has the utmost respect and concern for each and every bird. All of the enclosures were clean,in good shape,and large enough to accommodate even the largest wing span. The center has a clinic, which you are able to view through a large window. There are signs identifying and describing each bird,as well as the native plants growing at the center. Everything is first rate. My thanks to the employees and volunteers so dedicated to the care of each patient.

I have been wanting to go here for the longest time. When we arrived it we met Sanford the owl. Just the cuttest little owl I have ever laid my eyes on. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable, asking if we had any questions. We did the self guided tour by scanning the QR code provided. All the animals were having g just as a relaxing time as we did. I loved the scenery and how how lush and green it was everywhere. It was not crowded at all so we took our time exploring and observing all the beautiful birds. Will definitely be back. I give it 10/10 happy owls. Hope to visit again soon, HIGHLY recommended!!!

Questions & Answers

There is an osprey nest in Fern Park that looks like it and the round tray it is on, is about to fall off the pole. Can anything be done to protect/save the nest? I have a photo I can send.

Do you have programs that teach people how to work with birds of prey?

Joe Gavin | Aug 21, 2018

I dont work at the center, just visited, but that does not seem to be something they offer. The center is a rehabilitation and care facility with great educational opportunities about the birds, but not how to work with them yourself. They do have a neat behind the scenes movie which provided some of tips they use to feed and handle injured birds.

An Ibis died in our side yard today and my husband disposed of it. There was another Ibis on the side walk grieving and it is still there hours later. What do we do?

It's best to just leave it, let it continue what it's doing. Ibis are monogamous for the breeding season, but eventually this bird will find another mate to replace the deceased one, and move on.

How can I go about adoption of a bird for my kids who’re suffering from mental illness Thank you

Melinda Emerson | Aug 20, 2021

If you call the Center during business hours I am sure they can tell you. You would just need the intake number for Bailey or the date of intake I believe

Laura VonMutius | Aug 21, 2019

Josue, unfortunately we do not allow guest to hold the birds that live at our Center. Our staff and volunteers that handle them have gone through extensive training and have formed relationships with the individual birds. That being said, we are sometimes available to bring a bird out for you to see up close and have a photo with.

I am not sure of the answer to that question. If you contact the Audubon Society or Audubon Center in Maitland, I'm sure they'd be able to answer your question.

I have a woodpecker who flew into patio door. At first he was bleeding from mouth and stunned. 2 hours later he is wanting to fly but can't. What do I do

Anita Wilson | Aug 21, 2018
Walter Garbarczyk | Aug 21, 2018

Sorry, I was away, they are a birds of prey center, hawks, eagles and stuff, not common birds. I know there was a lady in Alt. Springs that dealt with common wildlife, I think it's called The Haven, I will see if I can find it.
