We are getting ready for the season and getting things cleaned up after the big snow storms. We will be opened for Memorial Day. we hope to see you soon.

We just got a surprise letter from Rhonda Byer who rescued an injured Golden Eagle in 1990 from the side of the road. in Utah. The Eagle was shot with 40 pellets. She never knew what happened to the eagle until she found our site with the story of Cara who hatched and raised her eaglet at our sanctuary.

Well the winter has been pretty cold so far, we are hoping for a mild winter to save on heating. We have more than 3 feet of snow, that keeps us busy.

We are so happy with 2007

Update August 10, 2007.
We released our two young Bald Eagles today, everything went well, and we believe they are staying in our area for now, we had a call the other day that one or the eagles tried to land on some Lilly pads and fell in the water, he quickly recovered and went on his way. I will be putting up some photos in the next few days.

Mission Statement
The Berkshiire Bird Paradise Sanctuary is a bird sanctuary for disabled and injured birds. We strive to give them a safe haven to live thrive and rehabilitate as best they can. We are dedicated to educating people to recognize the beauty of Nature's world which surrounds our busy lives. We are all part of the web of life and all life is precious.

We are one of the largest Bird Sanctuaries in the country with over 1000 birds and almost 100 different species. About 40% are permanently disabled and will be here for the rest of their lives

We like to challenge our disabled friends by designing their habitat to be as natural as possible and to make them work and climb and be productive. We custom design each habitat for their abilities.

New, We just received some Victorian Crown Pigeons,
