Avian Haven was founded in Freedom, Maine as a non-profit wild bird rehabilitation center dedicated to the return of injured and orphaned wild birds of all species to natural roles in the wild.

In fulfilling these facets, Avian Haven provides:
- Comprehensive medical care in a modern, well-equipped clinic.
- Rehabilitation in an environment designed to simulate natural conditions.
- Research and education to other wildlife rehabilitators and wildlife professionals on a local, state, and national level.
- Opportunities for enhanced awareness and education to the general public and academic institutions.
