Seaside Seabird Sanctuary

The Seaside Seabird Sanctuary is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, & release of Florida's native wild birds, & spreading awareness through education & community engagement. Founded in 2016, the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of sick and injured wild birds with the goal of releasing them back into the wild. The Sanc

tuary’s 1.5-acre property houses a full service avian hospital and rehabilitation center that is equipped with emergency facilities and indoor/outdoor rehabilitation areas. The Sanctuary is also home over 100 permanently injured resident birds on display ranging from songbirds to a variety of seabirds and majestic birds of prey. Most of these birds were admitted to the hospital for rehabilitation but were not able to be released due to the nature of their injuries. The Sanctuary also features daily and weekly demonstrations, an educational center, observation deck, and gift shop. The Sanctuary is perfectly suited for the avid birder; any stroll the grounds of the Sanctuary enjoying the tremendous opportunities for photography due to our resident birds and wild visitors as well as our location right on the beach here in Indian Shores.

Private donations are the Sanctuary's only means of support, as it does not receive any government funding.
