It is expensive to treat, feed and house raptors,
whether injured or permanent non-releasable residents. The birds
of course do not pay any bills they incur - they are wild creatures
with no family or friends (except us) to help, and no insurance
to defray costs. The Adopt-A-Raptor and donation programs help the
RCV to cover these expenses, and allow the RCV to continue its work.
This is a great way for organizations or corporations
to get involved. And what a wonderful gift for a family member or
friend - or yourself! Your support will help to offset the costs
of food, housing, supplies and medical care. These costs may last
for a few days to a year for a rehabilitation bird, and a lifetime
for non-releaseable raptors serving as ambassadors for their species.
All Adopters will receive an adoption certificate
plus a 5 x 7 color picture and an information sheet on their adopted
RCV bird. To learn more about participating, please view the
RCV Adopt-A-Raptor Form.
We are always on the lookout for new volunteers! If you are interested
in applying for a volunteer position with the RCV, please fill out
the RCV Volunteer Application.
You do not have to join the Adopt-A-Raptor program or volunteer
to support the RCV. Donations in any amount are very much appreciated,
and help the RCV continue its work. To learn more about participating,
please view the RCV
Donation Form.
