Florida Keys Wild Bird Center

Key Colony Beach, Florida and Key Largo are very close to each other. Depending on which local one asks you might be told the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center is in Key Largo, while another will tell you it is in Key Colony. The truth is the rehabilitation portion of the center and the humane shelter are technically in Tavernier, Florida which is the smallest of the keys at about a mile long.

The Florida Keys Wild Bird Center of Key Colony Beach, Florida is designed as a protection center for wild birds. The rehabilitation section takes in injured, orphaned, or sick birds. The staff members work to get the bird healthy enough to release back into the wild. If the bird is unable to live without human help they are placed in the center, where they are cared for. The humane shelter uses these injured birds to educate the public in how to protect wild bird species. They also educate visitors regarding coexistence of species.

Donations are welcomed for the center in order to keep it running and keep staff on hand to help with injured birds. Tours are possible during specific hours and days.
