Florida Keys Wild Bird Sanctuary
The Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center began quite
by accident in 1984, when a veterinarian asked a woodcarver to help with
some injured birds. True to its Florida Keys heritage, the Center outgrew
its home in Islamorada and moved to Tavernier where it continues to grow.
Its primary purpose is to provide emergency and recuperative care for
injured birds, but it is slowly evolving into a significant collection
and distribution point for information about our environment.
The Center is located in a natural setting alongside the
Bay, where you can see the real Florida Keys. When you visit, bring your
camera! You'll find plenty of healthy, wild, and beautiful birds around
-- along the boardwalk, up in the trees, and down along the Bay. But the
Center isn't just for the birds!! Solution holes, cap rock, & pneumatophores
are all around. Minnows, crabs, and sunsets appear regularly along the
bay. Bromeliads are abundant along the nature trail. The only thing that's
missing is YOU!!.
The Florida Keys Wild Bird Sanctuary receives no government
funding,
relying solely on donations to meet its operating expenses.
Your donation is needed, appreciated and Tax Deductible.
