This is a wonderful facility for viewing and learning about birds, particularly raptors. The habitats are clean and well maintained and there are educational plaques that teach visitors about the birds and how they came to live at the center. We spent way more time here than we expected to, and enjoyed every minute and learned so much! The volunteers we met were so informative and one volunteer let us tag along and answered our many questions as she was feeding the raptors. This was a highlight of our trip to Birmingham! Thank you all for what you do!!!

Thankful for the wildlife center to be able to take injured or young birds to for help. It's a very calm space and they take great details about the animal you're dropping off with follow up info if you request it.

I’m prefacing this with the fact that I actually like this place and what they do. I’m just incredibly frustrated with my experience this weekend trying to help some birds.I found some baby robins in my backyard late afternoon on a Friday. We have 4 dogs and one of the birds got picked up and wasn’t looking so hot. The birds were almost fully feathered so they were in between being ready to be out on their own. We gave them several hours and the birds hadn’t moved an inch and were just in our backyard with no apparent parental attention. It started to rain so we did what we thought was best and followed a safe protocol in collecting and storing the birds to take up there Saturday morning.We took the birds to the facility and were kind of met with a you should’ve just left them response. The kicker here is, my wife is a wildlife biologist and I’m a forester. We’ve both studied and worked with wildlife. We wouldn’t have touched the birds if we didn’t think this was an unwinnable situation for them.I’d leave a 2.5 star review because they took the one bird that was struggling, but we were told to take the other bird back and try and put in the same spot in our backyard. We told them repeatably this could not be done due to dogs in our yard and all the yards near us. Despite us donating our time, gas, and a donation to the facility, we were told to bring one fledgling back to our house. Obviously we could not leave it in our fenced in yard so we moved the bird just outside of the backyard fence in some cover, hoping that it would be safe enough and close enough for parental care and last about a week for it to be ready. It was dead the next day.I realize life and death happen everyday, and that they can’t help every bird in the greater Birmingham area, but this one had a shot, just not in our backyard. And it only needed about a week to get there. Surprisingly, the worse off bird had a better chance at living than the spry one.

Good to see animals being rehabilitated to get to go back in the wild, I like seeing state tax funding go to these facilities.
