50,000 Mice Needed - Really!
RatRMRP needs 50,000 mice, or 7,000 rats in a big hurry! No kidding...

Have some? Please call us to make an appointment, 970-484-7756.

Last year, 5 tons of food was donated, including 5,500 pounds of prairie dogs, to help us feed the 364 raptors we cared for. Unfortunately, we recently learned that those prairie dogs will not be coming this year. This means we are heading for a huge food shortfall.

Here’s how you can help…
1.    Raise prey food – At our place or yours. We need a steady stream of mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc. They can be 4H projects, control group mice and rats, or raised for fun and hobby. PLEASE CALL TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, 970-484-7756.
2.    Gift certificates for Layne Labs CLICK HERE They’ll send us plastic bags full of this essential raptor chow.

Map: Where Do The Injured And Orphaned Raptors Come From?

Service_Area_Map_through_10-171_smallerRMRP admitted fifty raptors in June, 2010, and 43 in July. More than 110 since June 1. This is "down raptor" season, where many injured raptors are found on the ground... a Great Horned Owl with head and spinal trauma, an American Kestrel that suffered a fractured wing during a cat attack, an Osprey caught in bailing twine, a Red-tailed Hawk with West Nile Virus.

As our phone is ringing off the wall, we really need your help to get them back to the wild.

Take A Behind-The-Scenes Tour Of RMRP

The Rocky Mountain Raptor Program is offering behind-the-scenes tours to those who have an interest in our lifesaving and life-changing work. You will see first hand what it takes to help these amazing creatures heal and prepare for release. Take a walk through our treatment room, see the food prep room (only if you want to), see our "pantry" (live mice and rat cages), and visit with some of our Education Ambassadors, raptors that are non-releasable due to their injury. These tours are designed for an adult audience.

Tours last about 90 minutes and are limited to the first 20 who RSVP. Please send an email to info@rmrp.org and indicate your preferred date, your contact information, and how many will be in your party. There is no charge to attend.AAR_TUVU

A Second Chance At Freedom

Welcome to the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program!

RMRP rescues, rehabilitates and releases injured birds of prey, including Eagles, Owls, Hawks and Falcons; and through its comprehensive Environmental Education program, teaches the importance of preserving wildlife and wild places for future generations.

The Raptor Program works closely with the veterinarians at Colorado State University’s Veterinary Medical Center, and has consulted with them on nearly 5,000 raptor cases since the program started as a student club in 1979.

RMRP averages about one admission and several injured raptor calls each day, and more than 70% of treatable raptors are released for A Second Chance At Freedom. Several days each week we provide education programs somewhere in the region.

As an adoptive “parent,” your gift helps supply skilled medical care, nutritious food, and a healing environment to give these majestic creatures A Second Chance At Freedom. Adoption starts as low as $50 and truly saves lives.

Help more raptors like this one to touch the skies again!
