While we treat upwards of 2,300 patients a year at the Seabird Station, there are a few cases where patients are in otherwise good health, but can’t be released back into the wild due to a broken wing or missing/damaged eye, which renders them unable to fly or hunt in the absence of binocular vision. We have 12 non-releasable animals that range from American White Pelicans to Eastern Screech Owls, Opossums, and more which we use for educational purposes. These animals act as ambassadors by helping us understand more about wildlife and how humans have impacted the animal kingdom.
