They’re Born to Be Wild—But They Need Your Help to Get There

From Tiny Talons to Mighty Wings—You Can Make a Difference!

Each spring, our world begins to fill with new life—wide eyes, fluffy down, and tiny talons. But not every baby raptor gets the start they deserve.

Some fall from nests too high to return. Others are injured, orphaned, or brought in by well-meaning people unsure of what to do. These wild babies are not pets. They are hawks, owls, falcons, and eagles—born to be wild, born to fly.

At Ojai Raptor Center, we give them that chance.

From the moment they arrive, these young birds receive:

• Life-saving care – Specialized nutrition and medical treatment for fragile baby raptors.
• Species-specific diets that mimic what they would eat in the wild
• Medical treatment for injuries, illness, or malnourishment
• Re-nesting - reuniting babies with their parents or placing with foster raptors whenever possible
• Flight & hunting training in our expansive flight enclosures
• Preparation for life on their own—strong, skilled, and free

During baby season, we care for hundreds of baby raptors, but their journey from nest to sky is only possible with your support!

Your gift today helps us:
🔹 Feed hungry beaks around the clock
🔹 Provide medical supplies and lifesaving equipment
🔹 Expand our rehabilitation capacity as intakes increase
🔹 Keep the skies of California wild and full of life

Give now to the Born to be Wild campaign and help us raise the next generation of raptors.

Together, we can make sure every baby raptor has the chance to

spread their wings—and soar.
