It is a great time to visit ARC and learn
more about us and our efforts to help
Birds of Prey.
While at ARC visit our new
Education Enhancement Shop  
and find a really neat gift to help the
"RAPTOR" learning experience!
We are usually flying several
birds on Saturdays, please call to
find out who is flying. Our flight
demos are between
10:30am  & 1:30pm

Adopt-a-Bird is a great gift idea.
For the person who has everything...
Great for every event;
retirement, birthdays,
graduations & More!
(even Father's Day)
Make the adoption even more fun with a great
educational gift we can include with the package.
Consider AAB as a different kind of birthday gift
        The Avian Reconditioning Center  2008

Updated June 22,2010
The Avian Reconditioning Center is a not for profit
birds of prey rehabilitation and education facility.
One of our main focuses is the physical reconditioning
of raptors that have been inactive for an extended
period of time while recovering from illness or injury.
We also use falconry techniques to evaluate a bird's
chances for survival in the wild after recovering from
an injury and to teach young birds how to hunt.
Education is a primary focus as well and we provide
many education opportunities using live birds of prey.

 Special Thank-you Park Avenue Animal Hospital!

  Our Center is so very fortunate to have the support of Park Avenue Animal Hospital and
Drs. Rick Rubinstein and John Turgai. As supporters of our Center, Park Avenue Animal Hospital (PAAH)
has joined ARC in our quest to bring hawks, owls, eagles, and other birds of prey back to nature, by
providing medical support to our vast array of magnificent birds of prey. The services they provide to our
Center are phenomenal and do so much to help us provide quality veterinarian care. Their professional
approach to all animal care is apparent every time we come to see them, whether we need x-rays, surgery
or other diagnostics the Doctors and their excellent staff are always ready to help.

We depend on volunteers to run our Center, we have no paid staff. It is the dedication of our volunteers that
help us to maintain and build our facility to continue our work with raptors.
We can always use good volunteers at ARC,  
if you think you might like to volunteer at ARC  PLEASE give us a call! Come out on Saturday and find
out what we do...We always have so much going on and
we can REALLY use the help!
THANK-YOU!!
