Found an injured Bird of prey?

When you find an injured bird of prey, your quick action may save its life.

If you have wildlife issues, you can call Florida Fish and Wildlife at 888-404-3922 or 352-732-1225.

If you are in Central Florida, please call us at the Center at 407-461-1056. Please note that our staff is only on site from 9:30 - 1:30 Monday-Friday and 9:30-4:30 on Saturdays. If we do not answer, please leave a message and we will return it as soon as possible. Because we are a small organization, we do not have the staffing to go out for rescues. If you can get the bird to us, we will be happy to do whatever we can to make it well, and return it to the wild.

Help Our Cause

The Avian Reconditioning Center receives no Federal or State funding and is staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers. We are always in need of monetary donations and are greatly appreciated.

ARC's First Calendar Competition!

Submit your best image to be featured in our 2020 calendar!

The Avian Reconditioning Center opened to the public in 2004. Over the years many photographs of our raptors have been taken by amateur photographers as well as professionals.

We are inviting you to submit that special photo you took of one of our birds of prey of the past fifteen years.

Our National Symbol the Bald Eagle was on the endangered species list from the early 1960’s until June 28, 2007. American Eagle day celebrates the physical recovery of these magnificent raptors, to recognize the inspiration and attributes for which it stands, and our National Emblem.

We would like to thank everyone who came out on this commemorative day to be with us.

Not only were our eagles, hawks, owls and all our birds of prey a hit but the watermelon and ice cold lemonade were too!
