ORANGE COUNTY BIRD OF PREY CENTER

The Orange County Bird of Prey Center (OCBPC) is a state- and federally-licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Orange County, CA, dedicated to treating and rehabilitating injured raptors and returning them to the wild. We believe that education is the best long-term solution to prevent and mitigate many of the challenges that raptors face and that raptors play an integral role in the balance of nature. We reintroduce raptors under specific conditions: following state and federal guidelines, respecting current wild raptor population cycles and considering environmental factors.

OCBPC is a predominantly volunteer-based organization. Your donations support the treatment, care, housing, and feeding of the birds in our care. OCBPC also offers sponsorship opportunities for donors to participate in a bird release. You'll be there to witness firsthand a rehabilitated raptor embark on its journey back into the wild. Through the work that we do, we hope to ensure a healthy population of raptors for generations to come.

what we do

EDUCATION

OCBPC believes that many challenges raptors face are prevented through education. Volunteers take birds to schools, civic groups, interpretive programs, nature centers and media events for engaging live, animal interactions and teachings. Our ambassador birds and volunteer teams lead the way to create meaningful experiences for the public to learn more about local raptor species, their ecological role, and our efforts to aid them.

why we help

RESCUE

OCBPC is the connection to the larger community for these birds and you are a part! We can all play a role to save these magnificent birds of prey. Through education we are creating a network of caring people, building an informed and engaged public that’s aware of raptor issues and the resources available. It is with your call that trained animal service officers can retrieve injured birds and bring them to our care. We aim for a community of citizens that continue to learn about native wildlife and our ecological effect of cohabiting wild spaces. As we provide opportunities for people to stay curious and passionate about the nature that surrounds them, we can all continue to advocate and protect wildlife.

REHABILITATION

Working closely with veterinarians and staff at Serrano Animal and Bird Hospital, OCBPC is able to provide state of the art medical treatment and referrals to a network of specialists. Raptors coming to us in crisis are met with surgeries to repair wings, treatments to address trauma, access to medication, and extensive rehabilitation. As they transition from caring hands of our doctors to volunteer staff at the Center, convalescing birds receive the time, space, and attention to heal and build strength. Volunteers provide exceptional care in feeding, monitoring, and observation as these raptors prepare to return to the wild. When ready, they are passed once again, to your caring hands, the giving individual that has provided support for the bird's journey thus far, to be released back into the wild.
