Comments about Smart Destinations :

It's good to know there's a place in Miami that will take care of birds in the best possible way with the goal of releasing them back into the wild. Pelican Harbor Seabird Station is a non-profit organization and its mission is to "preserve our region's seabird population through wildlife rehabilitation, education and conservation outreach." Founded in 1980, the organization was originally devoted to brown pelicans, but today takes in thousands of injured birds representing dozens of species. Injured birds can be dropped off at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station 24 hours a day. Don't hesitate to call. Also, you can stop by and take a tour. For more than 6 people you should call in a advance.
