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.
