The California Raptor Center (CRC) is an educational and research facility that was founded to rehabilitate and care for injured and orphaned birds of prey, also known as raptors. The facility adopts up to 350 sick, injured, and orphaned raptors every year and successfully rehabilitates up to 60% of them so that they can return to the wild. The center provides hands-on training in the care and management of birds of prey, as well as educational programs for schools, ecological and environmental organizations, and the nearby university community. The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine supports the medical needs of these unique birds and offers a broad spectrum of care, from advanced imaging capabilities to surgical expertise. The California Raptor Center (CRC) is open to the public on weekdays and Saturdays.
