About Us


 We are located in Northern Illinois, just 10 miles from the Wisconsin border, in Loves Park.

  1. Our purpose is to accept and/or rescue injured, sick and orphaned birds of prey, provide a safe haven and the best care possible while healing takes place and then returning them back to the wild. Veterinarian assistance may also be obtained for diagnostic studies and/or medical treatment if necessary.
  2. We offer “live” birds of prey education programs for various groups, organizations, festivals, scouts, and others who desire to promote education and understanding of raptors, their natural history, habitats and the roles they play in nature and in our lives.
  3. We offer sponsorship (adoption) for any or all of our educational birds.Click here for adoption information, pictures and a brief history of our ambassadors. Adoption is also a great gift idea.
