Adopt a NBS Education Animal!

Do you have an animal lover in your life?  Help support the Norman Bird Sanctuary animal care program and give a meaningful gift for wildlife enthusiast of all ages with our NEW Animal Adoption program!

Your yearlong sponsorship helps to provide essential care for more than 20 non-releasable animals.  These "animal ambassadors" are an important part of the Sanctuary's environmental education programs and are used to teach over 10,000 students each year about local wildlife and conservation efforts.  Profits will go directly to providing food, bedding and houseing materials, and veterinary care.

Every animal sponsor will receive a picture and fact sheet about their animal, along with an official adoption certificate, two guest day passes to the Sanctuary, and recognition on the NBS website.  They will also receive an exclusive opportunity to go behind-the-scenes with an education staff member to meet the animal close up!  If desired, sponsors will receive a special birthday card featuring their animal.

Adoption opportunities are available for all NBS animals - they are listed below.

Please call us at (401) 846-2577 or e-mail education@normanbirdsanctuary.org. You can also stop by for more information about how you can adopt one of our Animal Ambassadors!
