The Bird Treatment and Learning Center (also known as Bird TLC) is a wildlife rehabilitation center based in Anchorage, Alaska. It was founded in the 1980s by a veterinarian James R. Scott, and some of its early activities were funded partially by money given to Scott by Exxon in the wake of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. The center started to move their operations to Potter Marsh in the second half of the 2010s. Bird TLC was established as the Bird Treatment and Learning Center in 1988 by veterinarian James R. Scott. It had previously been a part of Scott's Arctic Animal Hospital, but split into a separate entity due to high demand. In 1991, after the Exxon Valdez oil spill, Bird TLC built a temporary flight center in JBER to exercise injured birds and help them gain strength. The center was built with $102,000 Exxon gave to Scott, money which would also be used for the care of bald eagles. Using the money, Bird TLC and the Alaska Raptor Rehabilitation Center planned to work in tandem to care for injured raptors as part of a larger "eagle MASH operation" in the aftermath the oil spill. They received 24 bald eagles, out of which thirteen died and three were permanently injured. More information...
