    Excited to check this place out!
    Kate M.

    Loved getting to visit this location that is doing such amazing work of helping and rescuing so many birds! It is free to do a self guided walking tour and they are open 10:00AM-4:00PM daily. My husband and I really enjoyed learning about different birds that are currently there and also talking with one of the employees about a few of the specific birds. They also have a pelican feeding that is at noon every day. Though it's a free experience they do encourage donations and we were happy to donate to such an amazing effort and cause. They care for over 1,000 birds annually and work to rehab them and get them back to the wild.

    We stopped here to visit the Mote but it wasn't available so we walked over to the Seabird building next door. A lot (if not all) of the birds have been injured and would not have survived in nature. There is a wide variety including an egret, birds of prey, pelicans and some common starlings and gulls. Allow about an hour to tour the facility which is outdoors. Admission is free and parking is in the large lot adjacent to the facility. Very enjoyable as the weather was perfect and most of the birds were active.

    Loved this place mainly because a place where you can learn also is free something to do with the family but don't forget to DONATE. The staff was very friendly definitely will go again.

    It's free and fascinating! There's just something about the birds that captures my heart. Save Our Seabirds' mission is to "Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release." Their site includes a dedicated avian hospital (behind the scenes) that cares for sick and injured birds--many harmed by human activity. Along the "birdwalk" (which is open to the public) are large enclosures for about 100 birds who are unable to be released due to a variety of isssues. Staff are friendly and can tell you about the resident birds, such as Fish, the double-crested cormorant who was fed human food as a chick and now lives with rickets that affect his wings and feet. Make sure to visit the exotic birds, such as Gabby, the umbrella cockatoo, who likes to sing "Happy Birthday" and play peek-a-boo. Outside the office, there is a gift shop with lots of fun, bird-centered items.

    This is a nonprofit bird rescue. It is located next to the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium. Admission is free. Donations encouraged: There are several birds that are in cages that cannot be released on the wild. It's staffed by volunteers that give you information about the birds. There's about 30 species there. Bathrooms located up the stairs. No dogs allowed.

    We thought this was a part of the Mote Aquarium exhibit because it sits on the same property. Don't miss this attraction. It is a massive undertaking and well worth your time. Be sure to leave a donation in the drop box. I had a lovely conversation with Gabby and Rocky. These were not humans. If Yelp would allow video, I'd share it.

    The wife and I always stop here. Is a nice way to kill some time. Some of the birds are playful and interactive like cho.

    Admission is very reasonable and you can even get a discount if you visit the Mote aquarium too.

    Royal pet rescue is an amazing organization. I was fortunate enough to adopt the dog of my…read moredreams/my best friend from Julie a few years ago. This dog was abandoned and found in a field with her sister when they were just 10 weeks old and Julie took them into her rescue and sprayed and vaccinated them and found forever homes for them. She is healthy and the best dog that I have ever had. I see Julie out at adoption events from time to time and she has always has amazing dogs and cats and does a great job. I totally recommend her rescue.

    We adopted a Gianna last week. She was the missing puzzle piece. The 1st hours my Chihuahua mix…read moreKylo didn't feel quite the same but in less than 24hrs he was smitten. They play so well. I think Gianna thinks she is a puppy. Or maybe it is the other way around. If you are looking to adopt, I highly recommend Royal Rescue. Julie has an amazing network of people who foster. That give homeless Mama's and their babies a chance. Gianna's Mom came in as a feral cat. And due to constant love and touch Gianna's foster Mom, Pam McDonald gave to these Mama and her babies changed the outlook of their lives forever. Gianna is the most loving kitten. When she isn't sleeping side by side with Kylo. She falls asleep on our chest and ends up on our neck. Wrapped around like a scarf. She of course came to us completely litter box trained. I apologize this review is so lengthy, but I have actually shortened it. Thank you again Julie and Pam!!! I know the work you do isn't easy and is very time consuming. But so very admirable. You are all a blessing. Love Always, Elaine Gennuso
