The centre was born from a deep need to provide permanent homes for injured eagles, owls, and other raptors that could not return to the wild due to the severity of their injuries.
The birds on display are permanent residents – those who have been injured beyond recovery, alongside captive-bred raptors and those transferred from other facilities. But the story doesn’t end there. Each year, countless more birds are nursed back to health and returned to their natural habitats.
This includes a state-of-the-art hospital and specialised facilities aimed at helping sick, injured, and orphaned birds of prey make a successful return to the wild.
When you visit us, your support—through admission fees and purchases—directly aids in the continued rescue and conservation of these awe-inspiring birds. Together, we’re working to ensure their survival, educate the public, and protect their place in the wild.
Capes Raptor Centre runs a modern animal hospital and specialised facilities to help sick, injured, and orphaned birds of prey return to the wild.
