RAPTOR, INC. is
a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of birds of prey through
rehabilitation, education and conservation. RAPTOR's goals are two-fold: the education of the public on the importance of raptors and the preservation of their
native habitat; and the rehabilitation and return of injured raptors to their natural environment. Because
raptors, like
all wild animals,
are protected under both state and Federal law,
EDUCATION
RAPTOR, Inc. holds
special permits to handle injured and orphaned raptors until they can be released.
RAPTOR also has a limited number of captive birds that can not be returned
to the wild due to the extent of their injuries. These
birds are used in over 250 RAPTOR, Inc. programs given annually to a variety of
groups: school classes, scout troops, church and senior citizen groups, and conservation
groups to educate the public about birds of prey. A trained education specialist will come to your locaation with live birds of prey to give an informative program about these fascinating birds. Your group will learn about Hawks, Owls, Falcons, Vultures and Eagles; where you might find them in the Greater Cincinnati area and the improtance they play in our ecosystem. To schedule an educationa program
for your group, call RAPTOR, INC. at 513-825-3325.
We
depend soley on our membership and Volunteers to run the organization. Our facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, provided for by the Hamilton County Park District, houses injured birds of prey. Volunteers provide care and special feeding, as
well as transportation to our veterinarians until they can be released back to
the wild.
