Alabama Wildlife Center is Alabama’s oldest and largest wildlife rehabilitation facility, caring annually for almost 2,000 wild bird patients from more than 100 species. AWC is a nonprofit organization with a dual mission: (1) to provide medical and rehabilitative care for Alabama’s injured and orphaned native birds in order to permit their return to the wild, and (2) to educate people in order to heighten awareness and appreciation of Alabama’s native wildlife. Founded in 1977 as a small, home-based, all-volunteer organization, the Alabama Wildlife Center has grown to be Alabama’s largest wildlife rehabilitation center and a leader in the rehabilitation of wild birds. Some of the methods developed here are now used in rehab facilities all over the world. Since AWC's inception, well over 50,000 native Alabama wild animals have been helped because of the center's efforts. The organization has been in continuous service 365 days a year for over 30 years. Free with paid admission to OMSP

Great displays and information for birds the center has rescued and provided a safe place to live out their lives.

Educational and informative
Although there is a parking lot for the wildlife center, I usually get there by hiking from the parking lot by the lake. By doing this you also get to see many rescued birds along the trail. The wildlife center has lots of rehabilitated birds that you can observe. There is also a wonderful observation room with birdfeeders outside. Depending on the day, this can be a peaceful place to sit and watch birds. Sometimes they have baby birds that you can see. Recently they added a habitat for a Bald Eagle and Eurasian Eagle Owl.
