What is Project Adoption?
Project Adoption is an opportunity for you to sponsor a wild
peregrine falcon or one of the Canadian Peregrine Foundation's educational birds
for a period of one year. By doing so, you will learn about the
life of 'your' bird, and will be assisting the Canadian Peregrine Foundation in caring for
these birds.
| What is an adoption
package? You will receive a personalized 8-1/2" x 11" laminated adoption certificate, with one or more colour photos of your bird, and a written profile highlighting the age, location, and special features of your bird, including (whenever possible) its band numbers. |
How much does Project Adoption
cost?
The adoption package is available for a minimum donation of $25 (CDN)
How will Project Adoption help raptors?
The money raised through Project Adoption will be directed
toward emergency healthcare. For example, during most years, at least one of the urban peregrine chicks in southern Ontario requires medical attention, and treatment can be expensive. The cost of fixing a broken wing and rehabilitating a raptor for flight can range from several hundred to over one thousand dollars.
We will also use some of the proceeds from Project Adoption to help fund Project Watch'-em, our annual dawn-to-dusk surveillance of urban peregrine nests designed to rescue young chicks which get into trouble on their first few flights. Finally, if you choose to adopt one of the Canadian Peregrine Foundation's educational birds, you will be helping to pay for the care of these birds.
Which raptors are available for adoption?
There are many birds of prey currently available
for adoption. Any of the raptors pictured on this page are available for adoption. The drop list on the adoption form will also list the birds of prey currently available. More raptors will be added over time.
NOTE: for some of the birds listed, there is no recent information available because they have left their previous territory and have yet to be discovered elsewhere. |
