Raptor rehabilitation is the process of providing medical care and physiotherapy services to injured, sick, and orphaned wild birds of prey. In this instructor-led course, we cover:

  • The scientific value and ethical considerations involved in caring for sick and injured wild birds
  • Basic avian anatomy and physiology
  • Current best practices for patient stabilization, the first phase in raptor rehab
  • Safe handling methods
  • Conducting a physical exam
  • The art of triage and basic emergency care

The focus of the course is on raptors at post-fledging age through adulthood.

There is a weekly live meeting via an online portal each Tuesday night from 7:00 p.m. CT to approximately 8:30 p.m. CT.  These presentations will be recorded for alternative viewing times.

This course will be offered again in the fall of 2022.
