How To Help
Report
Sarvey Wildlife volunteers are a critical part of our staffing. They help clean and prepare diets for our wildlife patients and resident birds of prey. The spring and summer months are the busiest time, with up to 300 patients at a time. The fall and winter are great opportunities to get started learning a variety of tasks and prepare our volunteer workforce for the busier months.

Report
All of the birds of prey shown here are permanent residents at the center. While our mission is Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release - sometimes birds are not suitable for release.
Discussions and decisions are made in cooperation with USFWS (United States Fish and Wildlife Service) and if it is determined that a bird could become part of a glove-trained or static display, these birds may be placed with our facility or another similar program elsewhere in the country.Meet the feathered members of Sarvey's Educational Team and learn a bit more why they are here and when they came to us.

What To Do If
Report
If you find an injured or orphaned animal first take the time to observe the animal and it's behavior. If you conclude it's definitely injured, call Sarvey Wildlife Care Center at (360) 435 4817 and describe it's condition. Sarvey will suggest the best course of action for that animal. Please use common sense if you need to contain the animal.
FAQs
Report
No, unfortunately we cannot give tours of the facility. It is a wildlife hospital and the patients in our care do not appreciate visitors. We must keep human contact to a minimum. This is important to reduce their stress while in a clinical setting and to keep them wild so we can return them to their native habitats.
