Fun Facts
Raptor babies grow up incredibly fast, a barred owl baby might weigh 15-16 grams (1/2 oz) at hatching and can easily weigh 300-350 grams at 2 weeks of age (20x hatch weight!!) and 500-600 grams at 5-6 weeks of age (adult weight).

Carolina Raptor Center's rehabilitation staff is happy to answer your questions. Please keep in mind that they are frequently responding to emergency situations, so they might not be able to respond in the first 24 hours of receiving your message. Please check the list of Rescue Questions & Answers first, as that might have the answer to your question.

For general rehab questions or updates on current patients, please call 704-875-6521, ext 111 or ext 213. Please note that for injured birds, calling our hotline is the best way to get the bird help. Please do not e-mail us with injured bird reports as this drastically reduces the chances we will be able to assist you.
