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.

Owl PT


This hatch year great horned owl just arrived. Dr. Travis found shot pellets in his wing and a fractured ulna. Since he is so young, there is a good chance that he'll recover well. While the bone heals, his wing will be exercised frequently so it stays flexible and the muscles continue to improve. Volunteer Nancy Gillen gently restrains him as the wing is stretched.
