For The Birds of Acadiana is a state and federally permitted avian rehabilitation facility situated in the heart of Lafayette, Louisiana. We proudly operate as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

At For The Birds, our primary objective is to educate and foster a deep sense of responsibility towards the preservation and conservation of federally protected birds. We achieve this by dedicating our efforts to the rehabilitation and subsequent release of these magnificent creatures.

By providing a nurturing environment and expert care, we strive to ensure the well-being and eventual return to the wild of the birds in our care. Through our work, we aim to raise awareness and inspire others to join us in safeguarding these precious avian species.

We wholeheartedly invite you to learn more about our organization and become part of our community dedicated to the welfare and conservation of birds. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for these remarkable creatures.

We accept injured, ill and orphaned avian species of most types.
