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 nestling birds how to hunt.
Education is a primary focus as well and we provide
many education opportunities using live birds of prey.
