"This Holiday Season, Let Your Spirits Soar... on the Wings of a
Hawk!"

Tis the season of giving so give an injured hawk the gift of life this
year through the Adopt-a-Bird sponsorship program at The Avian
Reconditioning Center (ARC).  Scarlet, a Red-tailed Hawk, collided
with a truck and lost her right eye.  She is one of many
non-releasable birds of prey residing at the Center who can be
sponsored through the Adopt-a-Bird program.  Your sponsorship
guarantees her care and feeding, and supports ARC's vital
rehabilitation efforts that return many other raptors to the wild each
year!  Your gift recipient will receive a personalized adoption
certificate, a color photo and biography of the chosen bird, an annual
subscription to "Branching Out," the ARC's quarterly newsletter and a
personalized gift card bearing your message.  Call 407-461-1056 or

"Owl Be Home for the Holidays!"

Give that special someone on your holiday list a gift that keeps on
giving!  Sponsor the care of an injured owl (or falcon or hawk)
through The Avian Reconditioning Center's Adopt-a-Bird program in
their name.  After falling from his nest Hunter, an Eastern
Screech-owl, was attacked by Blue Jays when he was too young to defend
himself and his left eye was permanently damaged. Your sponsorship
guarantees his care and feeding and helps support The Avian
Reconditioning Center's (ARC) liberating work that returns many other
owls and hawks to the wild each year!  Your gift recipient will
receive a personalized adoption certificate, a color photo and
biography of the chosen bird, an annual subscription to "Branching
Out," ARC's quarterly newsletter and a personalized gift card bearing
