Since our founding in 1977, we have been dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of Alabama’s native wild birds and wildlife. Our mission is to provide the highest standards of care for Alabama’s injured and orphaned native birds.

We are a 501(c) nonprofit organization. Though operated independently and not part of the state park system, we are located within Oak Mountain State Park. We are a 501(c) nonprofit organization.

At the Alabama Wildlife Center, we believe that every bird deserves a chance to thrive. Through your support, we can continue our vital work and ensure that Alabama’s birds have a bright future.

The Alabama Wildlife Center successfully rescues, rehabilitates, and releases over 2,000 native wild birds from 100 species to their natural environments in Alabama.
