Owlery Duplex for Education Ambassadors. . . $3,000The double entry Owlery duplex provides a skylight for each of our education ambassadors as well as windows on three sides. Roosting boxes and a variety of branches give each of them choices. In the winter, the shutters and doors can provide wind breaks against the cold when needed. |

Small Owl/Hawk Pre-Release Flight Cage 41'L x 12'W x 8'H. . . $5,000The flight cage has a zoo mesh top with reinforced cables so birds will not damage their feathers. A double entry inside the wooden slats prevents self release and one end is enclosed for shelter. |

Large Raptor Haven Footprint 52' X 64' with 160' continuous flyway. . . $50,000In 2005 we received two adult bald eagles. They require a very large flight cage with great height. One of the eagles was from Lake Monroe, the other, outside the county. After searching for the best available blueprint, we found a circular design built in Maine that would afford unlimited flight practice with banking for several large birds of prey as they are housed separately in the interior. A central group of 3 roomy cages in this innovative design each has access to a surrounding continuous flyway approximately 160' in circumference for pre-release flight conditionings. The entire building has a compact footprint of 52' X 64'. Sponsors will be needed before this can be built. |
Raptor Pre Release 10' X 8' X 8'. . . $1,000
This pre release cage can be made into a duplex by slipping a large board in between the two halves. Injured adult raptors are much more comfortable outside in a more natural setting while they heal. Juveniles need this transition before they are comfortable in the Flight Cage. We have two and need two more.
Skunk/Raccoon Pre Release. . . $500
SkoonTown has been built with the needs of skunks and raccoons in mind. We have five raccoon cages on cement pads with drains to a septic which provides the most modern cleaning options. All-metal caging with metal roofing prevents disease from settling into wood frames. While the skunks prefer nesting boxes on the cage floor, the raccoons play and sleep in hammocks as well as nesting boxes on a shelf; wading pools provide them with water sports.
Opossum/Squirrel Pre Release. . . $300
Five double-entry squirrel cages made of wood and hardware cloth provide over wintering for those squirrels born too late to disperse in the fall. They must be kept warm and fed until the leaves are fully out in the spring to provide safety from predators. For tree squirles born in the spring, these provide a safe place to negotiate brances and chase their foster brothers and sisters.
Songbird Aviary Duplex. . .$2,000
This Aviary Duplex gives fledglings the opportunity to fly, grow in the sunshine and open air as well as self feed before release. We need a sponsor for this one, and we need another one built. This makes a great Eagle Scout project.
