Bird Sanctuary Raversyde

Oostende

At the bird sanctuary, you’ll get a unique behind-the-scenes look at how injured birds and other animals are rescued, rehabilitated, and cared for. This educational and inspiring visit offers a chance to see dedicated caregivers in action, working tirelessly to heal and protect wildlife. You’ll embark on a guided tour through the sanctuary, exploring the animal enclosures, flight cages, and pools, where birds regain their strength before being released back into nature. Additionally, you'll visit the kitchen, laundry room, and vet room, where essential daily tasks like feeding, cleaning, and medical treatments take place. To ensure an engaging experience for everyone, the explanations are tailored to the interests and age of each group, making it a perfect learning opportunity for students, nature lovers, and curious visitors alike.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the sanctuary is that no two visits are the same! The types of animals receiving care vary by season, offering a constantly changing experience. In winter, you may encounter more oil-covered seabirds and hedgehogs, rescued from harsh conditions, while in spring and summer, the sanctuary is often filled with young, orphaned animals needing special attention. This means that each visit is a new voyage of discovery, where you can learn about the challenges of wildlife conservation and witness firsthand the incredible efforts being made to protect and rehabilitate these vulnerable creatures. Whether you are an animal enthusiast, a budding conservationist, or simply looking for a meaningful experience, the bird sanctuary offers an unforgettable journey into the world of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
