We are getting very low on wild game meat to help feed the birds in our care. It's been a busy year so far and we are flying through what we have on hand. The birds accept wild game meat that has not been processed into burger or sausage. We also do not take fish, poultry, or game birds. Thank you in advance!
If you have any questions call 406 585-1211.
