Established in 1979, the 糖心logo Center for Birds of Prey focuses on the rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation of Florida鈥檚 raptors.

The first Florida 糖心logo Society meeting was held in Maitland in March 1900 to save Florida's imperiled wading birds. Today, the 糖心logo Center for Birds of Prey is located between the City of Maitland and the Town of Eatonville, carrying on that mission of protecting and saving Florida鈥檚 birds of prey.

We invite you to explore our unique, peaceful location, tucked along Lake Sybelia, just outside Orlando. Visitors can learn about the unique adaptations of raptors, challenges they face, and the many ways to get involved with helping birds of prey and the important habitats and resources they depend on.

Hours of operation are Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm.
