New Caregiver Raptor Adoption!

Flat Rock Brook extends a big "thanks" to Lily Byerly for being our newest Caregiver Adopter. Lily's adoption of our Great Horned Owl will help with her care for the next three months.  Her donation helps with food, toys, shelter maintenance and veterinary visits.

Adopting an animal at Flat Rock Brook for yourself, a friend, or your organization or school  is both rewarding and fun.

One of Flat Rock Brook's most popular exhibits is our aviary where we house 5 birds of prey that are all unable to be released into the wild.  Their home is now Flat Rock Brook, where our staff provides the care that they need.  Our birds act as animal ambassadors and help us teach thousands of people each year about protecting and respecting wildlife. 

Various adoption levels allow our supporters to provide food, enrichment, and enclosure maintenance for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year.  Each level offers different benefits, such as a photo and certificate of adoption for your raptor or even a meet and greet! 

Visit Flat Rock Brook Adopt-a-Raptor to learn more.

Thanks again Lily!
