While we treat upwards of 2,300 patients a year at the Seabird Station, there are a few cases where patients are in otherwise good health, but can’t be released back into the wild due to a broken wing or missing/damaged eye, which renders them unable to fly or hunt in the absence of binocular vision. We have 12 non-releasable animals that range from American White Pelicans to Eastern Screech Owls, Opossums, and more which we use for educational purposes. These animals act as ambassadors by helping us understand more about wildlife and how humans have impacted the animal kingdom.
HONORARY ADOPTIONS FROM PELICAN HARBOR SEABIRD STATION INCLUDES:
An 8” x 10” photograph of your adopted animal
A copy of your animal’s story
A certificate of adoption
An invitation to see your animal at the PHSS facility
Tax-exempt donation receipt letter
The honor of knowing you’ve helped to feed an animal for a year!
Special Holiday Season: Surprise Holiday Ornament!
This holiday season, every adoption package purchased between November 23rd and January 1st will include a unique surprise—a beautiful Pelican Harbor Seabird Station Holiday Ornament! This unique ornament is a heartfelt gift from PHSS, expressing our deep gratitude for your support. Each honorary adoption directly contributes to the rescue, rehabilitation, and care of vulnerable wildlife.
Share the spirit of the season by giving a gift that truly makes a difference. With each adoption, you’re helping us protect and care for the wildlife we all cherish. Thank you for making this holiday season brighter—for both animals and people alike!
