Sponsor A Patient
RAPTOR Inc. works with a licensed bird bander and researcher to band birds we rehabilitate and release back to the wild. A metal band containing a unique number is placed around the leg of the raptor. The band number can then be used to collect indispensable information regarding the movement, survival rate and behavior of the banded bird. Analysis of this information can direct important conservation and management decisions and help us evaluate the effectiveness of our rehabilitation techniques.
Those who sponsor a banded raptor will receive a sponsorship certificate detailing the banded raptor’s story, band number, release date, and vital statistics. Sponsors also receive a fact sheet containing information about the sponsored bird's species. If the band is recovered the sponsor will be notified of the date and location of the recovery.
RAPTOR Inc. receives and treats almost 400 avian patients in our hospital each year. By sponsoring a rehabilitated and released patient you are making this care possible.
