Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter

Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter We are a HOSPITAL so we welcome small groups of 8 or less 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM, each morning.

Please call ahead 910 294-2555
We're a non profit and do not charge for visits, we do accept donations. The Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter has special wildlife rehabilitation permits required by the Fish and Wildlife Service and the State of North Carolina in order to keep wild animals in captivity. Staff Members have years of experience and attend annual continuing education classes and conference

s to ensure our patients the best care. Volunteers are trained to handle patients, see to their diets and clean and monitor them daily. The shelter also partners with the North Carolina State University Veterinary School to research rehabilitation techniques and give veterinary students hands on experience. Our staff and volunteers participate in local events to educate the public about common wildlife injuries and how to help prevent these. The Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.

Ready for an update? A lot has happened over the past few weeks. Check out the photos. We are moving forward, with only a few hiccups, as is expected with such a large project.
What's next:
-The electrical lines need to be run from the source to and through the barn.
-The water lines have been placed. The water hookup needs to be done.
-Plumbing for the pelican pool will be done. We will have to be able to drain the pool. To do so, a platform will be built to hold the pool off of the ground. Then, ramps will be attached that allow the pelicans to walk into the pool.
-All aviaries will need to have netting attached on the sides and the top. Not an easy task, since the netting is very heavy and the large bird aviaries are very tall.
-AND the pelican pool...we are bringing the pool from the old location to the new location. This will involve fork lifts, cranes, and trucks. It should be exciting to see a pelican pool flying over the barn to be put in place.

And the birds will have a new rehab home!
Stay tuned!
