Nestled on City Island near St. Armands Circle, Save Our Seabirds serves as both a safe haven for injured and ailing wild birds and a destination for those passionate about wildlife. From the moment visitors step onto the grounds, it is clear this is more than a refuge for birds - it’s a place that fosters meaningful connections with nature. By uniting its vital rescue work with an educational mission, Save Our Seabirds leaves an enduring impact.

At its heart, this is a place of second chances. Behind the scenes, their avian hospital works tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate distressed birds with the goal of returning them to the wild. Nearly 100 non-releasable birds now call this place home. Living along the Bird Walk, these residents serve as ambassadors, illuminating the challenges avian wildlife face. Winding through native plants and peaceful enclosures, the self-guided trail features educational signs that highlight each bird’s unique adaptations and stories of survival. Why the curved beak? Why the long legs? Every feature tells a story. The Bird Walk invites visitors to slow down, look closer, and reconnect with the natural world - because every bird has a song, and this is where you’ll hear it.

Save Our Seabirds is a Gold-Certified member of the Florida Society for Ethical Ecotourism and a proud participant in Sarasota County’s Green Business Partnership, reflecting its unwavering commitment to sustainability and conservation. The organization motivates visitors to take meaningful actions that protect wildlife and their habitats.

Beyond its onsite impact, Save Our Seabirds extends its mission into the community through field trips, outreach programs, and events, educating thousands each year and cultivating the next generation of environmental stewards. Every donation, volunteer hour, and foot step on their Birdwalk helps sustain their life-saving efforts and mission.

Whether a bird lover, environmentalist, or curious traveler, every visit and contribution makes a difference. Save Our Seabirds stands as a powerful reminder that everyone has a role to play in ensuring a thriving future for these remarkable creatures.
