Friends Of A Feather

Friends of a Feather is a volunteer based community of residents committed to the stewardship of swans and waterfowl, while also providing the resources and conditions necessary for them to thrive in Central Florida. As many foundations begin, our founders began informal rescues and rehabilitations, as the resources available in the Central Florida area are virtually non-existent, especially for animals such as swans, who are considered non-native or invasive. While many successful rescues and rehabilitations were achieved, the founders quickly realized the need to bring together a group of individuals, to create a broader reach and achieve a greater impact, so that no injured or orphaned swan or waterfowl goes without the proper assistance, medical care and short/long term support. We partner with local communities to provide education regarding ideal environmental elements, supplemental nutrition and guidance for medical care. Additionally, we advocate for their welfare with municipalities and governmental agencies, where swans and waterfowl exist.
