Adopt-A-Raptor

The Mountsberg Raptor Centre, located within Mountsberg Conservation Area, is an education facility that houses both Ontario native and non-native birds of prey. The centre strives to cultivate respect for birds of prey both in captivity and in the wild, to teach visitors about the biology of these birds, and to educate about human impacts on wildlife and positive actions guests can take in their lives to benefit animals and the environment.

Mountsberg’s raptors are permanent residents. The Mountsberg Raptor Centre is neither a rehabilitation centre, nor a falconry centre – our goal is education! Some of the birds who reside at the Raptor Centre came from rehabilitation situations where their injuries prevented a successful return to the wild. Other residents were raised in captivity. Our number one consideration when deciding if a bird will become part of our centre is our ability to provide that bird with the highest level of welfare possible. It is our hope that by meeting our birds, our visitors will gain a greater respect and understanding for birds of prey in the wild.

Donations made through the Adopt-a-Raptor program, help us to ensure that we are providing our birds with the best welfare possible. By symbolically adopting one of our featured raptors, you can help to provide our birds with a wholesome diet, veterinary care, training, enrichment, and more. Adopt one of our raptors today to support our resident birds at the Mountsberg Raptor Centre. 

Thank you to all of the “parents” who support the centre by adopting a raptor.
