Mission Statement

The Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter cares for injured or orphaned birds. We provide minimum medical care, safety from predators, food and shelter from the elements. When an animal is able to care for itself, it is released to the wild. We do not keep nonreleasable animals nor use heroic methods to sustain the quality of their life. However, the Shelter does make every effort to rehabilitate an endangered species and every animal brought here is treated with respect and caring.

Three releases on Aug. 29



First the Great Blue Heron that was entangled in a Winnabow fence 2 months ago was able to join other herons and egrets at the marsh on Oak Island.


Second, a beautiful Coopers Hawk, stunned after a window strike, was returned to his home territory after only 2 weeks rehab.


This Barred Owl from Lumberton made a speedy recovery also and was released by volunteer Naomi Martin who originally drove to transport him.
