Resident Birds

At The Raptor Trust, we provide injured birds with a second chance at life in the wild. Some birds sustain injuries preventing their release, while others become imprinted on humans due to illegal captivity. Despite this, we ensure they receive quality care and appropriate husbandry. This allows us to fulfill our educational mission, providing visitors with the opportunity to observe approximately 40 different raptors native to New Jersey.

Please note not all resident birds may be on display at all times.
