American Eagle Foundation

Dollywood is home to Eagle Mountain Sanctuary, a 30,000-square-foot aviary that houses the country's largest presentation of non-releasable bald eagles. Catch a rare and up-close glimpse of some of nature's most impressive birds of prey in this beautiful mountain setting as members of the American Eagle Foundation interact with these spectacular animals in our Wings of Prey show.

Over the past 18 years, the not-for-profit American Eagle Foundation has become widely recognized as a national non-governmental leader in bald eagle conservation, recovery and public environmental education. Established in 1985, the Federal and State licensed organization operates the world's largest bald eagle exhibit and breeding facility at its Dollywood-based headquarters, where many of its resident non-releasable eagles have successfully reproduced in captivity and released into the wild.

The AEF is dedicated to the recovery and protection of bald eagles and their habitat. It has educated millions of people, captive-hatched dozens of bald and golden eaglets, and rehabilitated numerous injured eagles and other birds of prey. For more information on AEF, please visit www.eagles.org.
