This is a great place to see the local birds that you will probably not get to see in the wild. The cost was inexpensive and we were about the only ones in the place. Great handout telling all about the birds as well as those that were there. More

There were quite a few injured birds here and they do a great job in trying to reinstate them to the wild. The entrance fee was small (5 dollars) and Im glad we visited. More

I'm not really "into" birds but I thoroughly enjoyed this visit. All the birds are rescue birds and were injured in some way or abandoned. They give a very nice guide with admission ($5.00 per adult and $3.00 per adult). It's a great little place to visit with (older) children. More

What a wonderful sanctuary for these beautiful birds. The staff was very nice and seeing all the birds from the area was amazing. We felt so sad for a lot of the birds because they were mostly hurt by humans (i.e. shot by, run over by, hit by them) but I am glad they are being very well taken care... More

This is a great place to visit and we were so lucky to get a guided tour from a volunteer and saw feeding time, we saw hawks, pelican, ospreys to name a few. This is a refuge and a hospital / half way facility. Some cranes storks have been fitted with artificial legs such awesome work, they would never have... More

We found Save Our Seabirds when we went to the Mote Aquarium. It is such a worthwhile facility. We got a tour when we found a bird on the beach unable to fly. They take injured birds and try to rehab them for release back into nature. If the birds are unable, they care for them. I would recommend a... More

This is not a fancy zoo, but it is a great place to get close up to a wonderful variety of birds native to Florida. Educational and so nice to learn of the rescue work done by this organization....I was moved to give a donation on my way out of the facility! Nice walking on a boarded walkway and shaded... More

Wasn't sure what to think of this place, but decided to try it as an alternative to the aquarium since we only had about an hour or so after leaving Lido Beach. It was a fantastic experience for our family and my 2 year old son. He loves birds, especially owls, and it was great that you could get so... More

It may need a little work to keep it kept up, but it is great what they do-- and they lack funds. I and my son volunteer there when we find the time. The birds are so neat--- and they really need out help. Please try to donate if at all possible. It's all non for profit. They do a... More
