About the Raleigh Raptor Refuge

Our Mission

To provide trained rescue personnel, rehabilitation facilities, release of rehabilitated birds, refuge for unreleasable birds and education for the public about wild raptors in the Triangle area and beyond.

The Raleigh Raptor Refuge is a 501-C non-profit organization composed of all volunteers.  Only licensed personnel or those accompanied by licensed personnel may handle birds.  Our goal is to be available as much as possible for calls about injured birds and provide the necessary care to rehabilitate them 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 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.

Veterinary care is generously provided to the Raleigh Raptor Refuge by Dr. Dan Johnson of Avian and Exotic Wildlife.  Web site hosting is provided by Johnson Davis of JotadaWeb.com, and the site and maintenance is provided by Amy McKeown of Lowlande Web Design.
