Save Our Seabirds would love to have your oak/hardwood limbs from any trees you have trimmed. We use them as perching in our habitats. Transporting them is a challenge for us, but if you have some and can’t get them here please let us know and we’ll try to work something out. Thank you!

One perk of being in the hospital - the fish are a LOT easier to catch!

This Brown Pelican was first spotted at Marina Jack, leading to a multi-day rescue effort before the bird was finally captured on Boulevard of the Arts amid dangerous traffic.

A pronounced droop in the right wing suggested a traumatic injury. Brown Pelicans rely on flight to crash-dive into the water for fish. Unable to hunt effectively, this pelican gradually became weak and lethargic from a lack of food.

After regaining a healthy weight and recovering from the wing injury, it was finally time to return home to the open waters of Sarasota Bay.

One of our dedicated rescuers, Ed, was there to release the bird he had tirelessly pursued, joined by a few fellow bird lovers to celebrate the moment.

Calling all businesses! Is your team looking for a hands-on volunteer project that leaves a lasting impact?

We're making way for a brand new visitor experience at Save Our Seabirds, and we'd love to partner with a team to help bring it to life.

This isn't your average volunteer project. We'll be tackling the demolition of mortared stone, relocating plants, and doing some heavy lifting as we transform the space into something truly memorable for our guests.

Think your team is up for the challenge? We'd love to hear from you. Tag your team in the comments or email [email protected]

Rescue volunteers are desparately needed! No experience required, just a love for birds. Be a vital part of the chain - without rescue, we can't rehabilitate or release. Are you ready to join our flock?
