The Wildlife Center of Virginia is currently working to build a third flight enclosure – an outdoor facility [96 feet by 16 feet] to be used for flight rehabilitation of Bald Eagles and other raptors.

The sides of this new pen would be constructed of tear-proof nylon mesh, greatly reducing the risk of injury to eagles. Other features include an “eaglet house” – an enclosure attached to the flight pen for use in caring for young birds – and a video camera to remotely observe the bird’s behavior.

The costs of this new pen are estimated at $20,000. The Center has already secured about half of the necessary funding and is seeking the additional contributions of money and materials needed to complete the project.

Contributions to the new Wildlife Center eagle pen may be made online through Paypal
