A fallen feather by an empty tree,
No parents to look after me,
No mice for my hunger,
No warm wings for shelter in the rain,
No protection from fire ants and their pain,
Where do I go?

A Brief History

Bubba was a Redtailed Hawk who sustained a broken pelvis in a collision with an automobile. Since the injury rendered him unreleaseable to the wild we opted to try him as an educational ambassador. Not only did he adapt quickly he excelled with a calm demeanor and unflappable temperament.
We received a call from a school to present an educational program about raptors. The teacher presented us to her class as Bubba and His Friends. A couple weeks later another teacher called and wanted Bubba and his Friends to visit her school. She did not tell us about the newspaper photographer who was going to be there for the BIG field day! We had a great time with students and staff. The biggest surprise was the front page of the Griffin Daily News with a picture of "Bubba and Friends" with a big writeup. So we were named.
In 1995 we incorporated and added Inc. to our name. During all this official stuff the eagles, ospreys, hawks, owls, falcons, and vultures were pouring in..... along with a few surprises!
