The cage's middle has no obstructions from end to end to encourage birds to fly the entire lenth of the cage. There is a large breeding and holding facility on the premises to provide fresh food for the raptors. The mice, quail, rats and rabbits that are offered to the birds daily ensure they are properly nourished. Volunteers are essential to the daily operation of the foundation. The Birds of Prey Foundation is not open to the public.
Visitors can impart additional stress on the recovering birds.
The foundation accepts requests for educational programs to be presented to civic groups and schools. The programs are endorsed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Programs are also provided in conjunction with the Denver Museum of Natural History and the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. It's expensive to return a sick or injured bird to the wild. The foundation receives no government funding and must rely on private donations for support.
