Our needs!!!
We receive approximately 400 injured birds of prey annually. The mean value of the care given to each bird is 350$. We thus must find every year 125 000$ to fulfill our rehabilitation activities and more than 200 000$ for our educational mission.
Our guests at the Birds of Prey clinic are quite hungry, more than 800 mice and 150 chicks are required each week to feed them.
Our organization does not receive any recurrent operating funding and the future of our activities is dependent upon our limited autonomous revenues (gifts, sponsorships, membership fees, conference's income, sale of promotional items).
Nobody is charged for the cares given to a wild bird found injured. Everything is done as an act of a good samaritan.
