Orange County Bird Of Prey Center

The Orange County Bird of Prey Center is a state- and federally-licensed wildlife rehabilitation center dedicated exclusively to native raptors, including owls, hawks, falcons, eagles, and more. Each year hundreds of sick, injured, or orphaned raptors from across Orange County and beyond pass through our facility. Our aim is to rehabilitate as many of them as possible and return them back to the wild. Last year, we released more than 150 rehabilitated birds of prey back into the skies where they belong.

Certain birds that are deemed non-releasable are trained to work in wildlife education. We reach nearly 20,000 people each year through our education and outreach programs, which are designed to help the public better understand the roles these birds play in the wild, the challenges they face, and what we all can do to help protect them. With your help, we can ensure a healthy raptor population for generations to come.
