Save Our Seabirds (SOS) is a bird conservation organization with the mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and release previously injured birds while educating the public about ways to protect wild birds and their habitats.  The SOS facility is on the grounds of the former Pelican Man Bird Sanctuary in Sarasota, Florida.

SOS is open 7 days a week from 10 AM to 4 PM every day of the year. Annually, staff and volunteers respond to over 5,000 calls of birds in distress. Rescued birds unable to return to the wild are given permanent homes in the Wild Bird Learning Center, a forever home for more than 120 birds of 62 species. Some include brown pelicans, royal terns, laughing gulls, great blue herons, sandhill cranes, and several species of owls, hawks, falcons, parrots, macaws, and conures.

Strolling along the “Birdwalk”, visitors can view the various types of diversification and adaptations that make each species unique. They will also gain insight into why each species evolved specific features, such as beaks, legs, or feathers to thrive and survive in their respective natural habitats. The native plant initiative has transformed SOS into an educational landscape that explains the importance of native plants to the environment and highlights the specific interdependencies between plants and birds.

The organization is a founding member of the Science and Environment Council of Southwest Florida and the Sarasota County Green Business Partnership.  The 10kW solar array at SOS not only reduces the electric bill, but also helps educate visitors about the importance of renewable energy in a changing climate. 

SOS received Gold Certification by the Florida Society for Ethical Ecotourism and was recently inducted into the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame, indicating that a Certificate of Excellence was received five years in a row – an accomplishment shared by only the top 10% of all TripAdvisor sites worldwide.
