Adopt-A-Raptor Program

Would you like to adopt one of our resident raptors?

Now you can! Well actually, you can virtually adopt one of the awesome birds that live right here at the Auburn University Raptor Center. Click on the photos below and learn more about some of these rescued raptors, along with how you can help us take care of these educational ambassadors.

The Adopt-A-Raptor program at the Auburn University Raptor Center allows you to learn more about raptors and help provide ongoing care for our educational ambassadors. By adopting a resident bird, you help support the daily care, feeding and any required medical treatment for your adopted bird. Your sponsorship also helps the Auburn University Raptor Center team continue to educate the public about raptors and provide care for the raptors undergoing treatment in our rehabilitation facility.
