At Wild Birds Unlimited in Leawood, we are a team of Bird Feeding Specialists who are motivated to spread the Joy of Birdfeeding. We strive to Save the Songbirds by spreading accurate information on local nature happenings. Join us as we host Operation Wildlife, with their volunteer speaker, Gary Crain. You are welcome to join anytime between 1pm and 4pm on May 17th, 2025. Mr. Crain has a wealth of knowledge on our feathered friends, and will educate the attendants on the rehabilitation of the animals at Operation Wildlife.
"We are advocates for wildlife, providing professional rehabilitation services for injured and orphaned wild animals and wildlife education for citizens of northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri." - Operation Wildlife
"Operation WildLIfe is supported entirely by donations and DOES NOT receive any funding from city, state or federal entities. We exist solely on the generosity of people like you that make it possible for us to continue providing veterinary care, food, and rehabilitation services for wild animals" - Operation Wildlife
"Our services cover nine Kansas counties or about 4,500 square miles. Injured, orphaned or displaced animals are received from a variety of sources: Kansas Wildlife and Parks, Kansas Highway patrol and other law enforcement agencies, animal control officers, veterinarians, and private individuals." - Operation Wildlife
"We’re proud to offer you the opportunity to support our educational programs by allowing you to “adopt” one of our public education animals. Your adoption fee helps to provide the continued care of “your animal.” Adoption fees help pay for food, veterinary care, and equipment expenses. These animals have permanent disabilities that will not allow their release back into the wild. They are ambassadors for their species and provide an up-close view to learn about their injuries and characteristics." - Operation Wildlife https://owl-online.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Adopt-a-Bird.docx.pdf
