About the Raleigh Raptor Refuge
Our Mission: to make a place for injured birds of prey and to educate the public about the nature of raptors.
The American Wildlife Refuge / Raleigh Raptor Refuge is a 501-C non-profit organization composed of all volunteers. Only licensed personnel or those accompanied by licensed personnel handle birds. We try to provide the necessary care to rehabilitate injured raptors and release them back into the wild. For birds that are unreleasable, we provide refuge facilities and are networked with other rehabbers and organizations to place birds.
We also provide educational shows and presentations to the public. Private shows and presentations for educational or youth groups are available for a nominal fee, and can be tailored to your curriculum. All proceeds from shows and any and all donations are spent entirely on the care and feeding of the birds and the maintaining of the refuge organization. No salaries or fees are paid to the volunteers.
Veterinary care is generously provided to the American Wildlife Refuge Raptor Refuge by Dr. Dan Johnson of Avian and Exotic Wildlife.
