Help Us Feed Our Raptors
Right now, our clinic is caring for a mighty group of wild patients including a fierce falcon, a recovering red-tailed hawk, two Great horned owls recovering from head trauma, our hungry kestrel fledglings, and many more. Each one is on the road to recovery, but healing takes more than rest - it takes food. A lot of it. Owls have specialized diets, falcons need fresh quail, kestrels rely on mice, and each meal matters. Our daily feeding budget now tops $80/day, and the cost of providing high quality prey adds up fast.
That's why we launched a $10,000 fundraiser to support our feeding program - and thanks to early donors, we've already raised $1,800. But we still have $8,200 to go. Your gift helps fuel their recovery, one carefully chosen meal at a time. Donate today and help us give these birds the strength they need to heal, hunt, and fly free once more.

Bat Rescue
The Birds of Prey Center Utah is one of only 2 licensed Bat Rehabilitation facilities in Utah. We provide rescue, transport, and rehabilitation for orphaned and injured bats in Utah.
Found a bat?
Do not handle the bat with bare hands and do not attempt to rehabilitate the bat on your own. While less than 1% of bats have rabies, a bat that has been touched with bare hands in Utah will have to be euthanized.
Please all pets and children away from any bats on the ground. Please call us at (801)228-0831 and we can advise you on whether or not a bat needs to come into care. Many bats will rest during the day on the side of trees or buildings. This is normal behavior. If you think you have an injured or orphaned bat, please call us immediately and send us a text with location and a picture. Bat World Sanctuary in Texas has a website filled with information about bats and has a section on what to do if you find a bat. Click on the link below to learn about bat behavior and what to do if you find a bat indoors or outdoors. Please do not hesitate to call us (801)228-0831 with bat questions or concerns.
