REHABILITATION OF INJURED OR ORPHANED BIRDS OF PREY 

To achieve this mission, UQROP is pursuing two mandates: the first is to structure a Quebec network for the care of wild birds of prey found injured, ill or orphaned. UQROP's second mandate is to bring birds of prey to the attention of the general public, through a travelling educational program and the Chouette à voir! website, which is open to visitors.

 

REHABILITATION OF ORPHANED ANIMALS

For many years, Parc Omega has been a refuge for orphaned animals, in collaboration with Quebec wildlife officers. The welfare and release of these animals is our priority.
