Southeastern Raptor Center
Education. Rehabilitation. Tradition.
The Southeastern Raptor Center (SRC) is a regional rehabilitation and education facility. The SRC is a non-profit organization and charges nominal fees to assist with education and rehabilitation efforts. The SRC also accepts donations to support its critical work of education, rehabilitation and conservation. By financially supporting the SRC, you are taking an active role in the care and wellbeing of injured and orphaned raptors.
The mission of the Southeastern Raptor Center is to provide the highest quality medical care and rehabilitation for wild raptors, support raptor conservation efforts, expand the public’s knowledge about raptors, inspire their passion for raptor ecosystems, and to embolden the Auburn spirit.
SRC accomplishes its mission by:
- Collaborating with faculty and staff of the College of Veterinary Medicine
- Offering quality educational experiences using animal ambassadors
- Providing rehabilitation services to raptors in need and guidance to the public seeking assistance with injured or orphaned wildlife.
- Providing hands-on experiences for veterinary and undergraduate students while maintaining the highest quality of care.
- Supporting raptor conservation by participating in relevant research initiatives
Football, Fans, and Feathers
One of Auburn’s most popular fall programs — the Southeastern Raptor Center’s Football, Fans and Feathers — offers fans the opportunity to see a raptor show where they will experience birds of prey eye-to-eye and watch as they swoop overhead.
Shows for 2021 will be held at 4 p.m. the Friday before Auburn home games on Sept. 3, 10, 24; Oct. 8, 29; Nov. 12, 26.
Tickets are $8 per person and can be purchased in advance; there is no charge for children age three and under. The hour-long program is presented at the center’s the 350-seat Edgar B. Carter Educational Amphitheater, located at 1350 Pratt-Carden Drive off Shug Jordan Parkway.
