We will be closed tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Caesar, the Augur Buzzard, is very excited for his Thanksgiving feast and all of the tasty desserts. Our birds will usually get some extra goodies and their favorite food items on the holidays. Caesar's favorite meals are rodents. What dishes are you looking forward to for Thanksgiving? Our Raptor Hospital will still be available to help with injured birds. If you find an injured bird please call 314-337-8889. | World Bird Sanctuary

Sometimes, it's not easy finding the perfect stick. Good thing Caesar, the augur buzzard, has many to choose from. Now, he is off to add it to his nest, even if it is January and not the breeding season. 😅😅 | World Bird Sanctuary
