bird sanctuary

Protected avian habitat

A bird sanctuary is a protected area where birds can live, nest, and feed without disturbance from hunting or development.

These refuges may be managed for conservation, research, or public education: The wetlands were designated a bird sanctuary in 1952.

Some sanctuaries rehabilitate injured birds before releasing them.
