Our Mission
Founded in 1997 in Cedar City Utah, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, wildlife and environmental education, and the development of the Cedar Canyon Nature Park.
Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release
The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (SWF) cares for more than 100 sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife annually. Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal, but for those that cannot be released due to disabilities, the Cedar Canyon Nature Park (CCNP) can provide them with a permanent home in a natural setting while enhancing our visitors educational experience at the park.
Informing, Educating and Inspiring
The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy.

Fun watching their little faces follow you and watch as you feed their siblings. One's eyes were so wide open, and they appear so intent on the activities. Great gentle man.
A lot of eyes on Martin!
By day 4 Martin has the owlets looking like obedient little soldiers perched, well mannered & waiting to be fed. An adorable site even their mother would be hard pressed to duplicate. Martin is just amazing with birds! Amazing!
Luckily I live close by in New Harmony, UT and am happy to volunteer for this incredible foundation
Totally jealous!!!
Lucky you getting to work with them 😉
That sounds like a wonderful job, if you are a bird lover.
Seeing them rebelling against feeder is cute and those eyes tho
Cute and a little painful for Martin's fingers!
this is now one of my family favorite owl videos, we have never seen them lay down on their backs for defence so we felt bad laughing at them looking like little overfed plushies even though we knew they were scared. it was so heartwarming to see them gradually realize they were being cared for and line up to receive food. I love owls but I love little owls the most and one day I hope to work at the rescue center and help many little friends return to a healthy life. thank you for saving them and inspiring others!
Thank you for your interest. Their behavior can seem puzzling sometimes. That why Martin teaches all he does!

Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah - Has anyone told you, your organization and everyone who has part in it are absolutely amazing!! It is people like you that make the world a better place!! If I lived anywhere near there I would be a part of it all!!
Thank you Angel! It's truly unreal how many people have shared kind words and shown support for the critters! We're deeply appreciative!
The sight of those baby owls perched neatly in a row on the branch, waiting their turns to be fed is out of this world. Soooo cute!!! Martin a genius.
They are awfully cute little owls!
I just sat for 21 mins watching basically the same thing haha, but it's totally fascinating! Peaceful to watch. And amazing to see how much patience and love Martin has! Happy that these fellas had a decent shot at life because of him! 💖
They are a treat to watch
The little one is saying "me too, me too" so cute they all are
Definitely cute!
By day 4 they were lined up on a perch, each waiting its turn, while Martin fed each one a piece. Repeat until all full! So cute! And yes I know that's just because they are babies but wow - those beaks and talons on babies!
He's got a way with the critters!
theyre just a bunch a cuties aint they(":
Something to think about when cutting a tree! Baby owls watch every move with big eyes, so cute!
It's hard to see them sometimes.
Saw-Whet Owls....the teddy bears of the owl world. So cute! So thankful people like you are able to rescue and rehab these owls and so many others. Thank you!
Hi Anne, thanks for watching! Saw-whets are awfully cute!
I have hand raised baby birds! What an honor! Releasing them free beings take flight.
They're feisty lil raskals for sure. lol
26 days of 5 star service. You both do a fantastic job.
With sharp talons!
@@GowildlifeOrg When they fight each other they must do a bit of damage?
You are proof there is still hope for humanity. If only i were wealthy so i could donate you a hefty sum of money.
Thank you! If we were rich we'd donate money to us too!
Wow! Six of them! Thank you for giving them all a chance. Love what you do!
We hope they are still doing well!
Aren't they cute! I find it very humorous, with all your beautiful raptors, I hear a happy parakeet! Happy the owlets are enclosed!
Cute and tough!
I have a fear of mice so Owls of any type are my BFFs these guy are so cute and they are lucky to have been rescued by you guys
Owls are good have around!
look at how they w8 there turn to be fed gorgeous lil creatures (":
Agreed, gorgeous!
Can't believe how much they developed in a couple of days! They are so cute with their indignant little pompadour stares. And six of them! That took a lot of work. Congratulations to Enoch Wildlife Rescue on yet another successful wildlife rehabilitation.
They weren't too happy, but adapted okay...
Once they got the hang of it , this is the sweetest thing I've ever seen ! I want one !!!LOL
They are a treat to see in the wild!
They so well behaved once they understood the feeding part lol
it takes a little time for them adapt
I respect the continuous work you've done to help the wild animal rescue and rehabilitation. Proud of your kind heart! Good job!
With their wings spread they look like angels with sharp beaks! I've never seen a tiny wing span like this. It's so adorable. I love their little feet and the pretty sound they make! I prefer horned owls but these guys are cute enough.
Lifting their feet up is a defensive position.
This is the sweetest video. These baby owls look like they have on tribal masks! Thanks to you they have a chance to survive and be free. The gift is truly in the giving.
They are all that!
The feeding where they were lined up setting on the stick was adorable!!!
They are defensive positions, captivity is very stressful
Brave little guys😀thank you Sir for helping!!
Thanks Brenda, we appreciate your interest!
big ole cute owl eyes(":
I like the transition between them huddled in the corner together and finally them standing individually on the branch and you can start to see their personalities
We like it too.
I love owls. I hear barn owls and tawneys at night here in the countryside of the UK. God bless you Martin and sue for all the work you do and the dedication xxx
Brilliant! These little guys sure were bottomless pits(lol) or voracious eaters with matching appetites. So nice they could all be released together like that. Great job!
We like big appetites!
Adorable you are the nature whisper for sure. I enjoy your videos and education thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate your interest!
Tremendous knowledge, expense and patience to care for the birds of prey like you do.
Thanks for your interest! Martin has been working with the critters over 50 years!
Their lifelong commitment is astonishing. Few have the save rate of Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah.
These owlets remind me of the furby I used to have back in the 90's.
So adorable, thanks so much for the great vid!! It's amazing how they have little personalities, even at such a young age. I loved the dog - came in, looked, walked away - yeah just more of Mom & Dad's birds, nothing to see here. LOL
We'll have to rename our channel "FranTV" ;-) Thanks for watching...will be a pretty funny little tidbit about Cody coming up in a video or two...
Cody's adorable too, thanks, I'll look forward to that! :)
When you share your life with angry/ scared lill dino's. 😁🇳🇱
Yep
their clicking sounds
Shared, explained the rescue is only funded through donations
Nice! Thanks again Lynne, every share and every view helps a lot!
I love these little guys!!
They are awfully cute!
OMG, those are the cutest owls I have ever seen. The hairdo though and great manner better than kids.
Agreed, they are something!
Awe so cute, I laughed when you said I'm glad you guys aren't Eagles. They are little but they are mighty.
Little cuties for sure!
OMGoodness! Saw whets are my fave! Babies are so gorgeous!
Thanks for helping the little guys out!
Looks like you are all caught up on our videos ;-) Long one coming Friday about a Red Tailed Hawk.
Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah, yes all caught up! Looking forward to your next video about the Red Tailed Hawk!
Cute.
I assume their mum flew away when the tree was cut down, and there was no chance for re-uniting.
good they have you as their new mum.
Unfortunately they not be returned to mom since no one even knew the downed tree held them.
Had some chuckles over this video in the beginning with them rollin' around and fighting with each other. Soooo adorable ! Awesome video !
I was stress up from my daily life in here! Then I watch some of your videos and you make my day:-) Can not donate in mean , but always a big like is my pleasure. Greeting from southeast Asia. Thank you.
We're glad the videos made you feel better! We appreciate your interest!
Wow they look so strong and healthy! I have done some reasearch on raptor talons , truly a marvel of engineering by nature.
Agreed, raptors are incredible!
I see it as God's amazing creations! Thank you for rescuing these little creations. I feel you _I'll have a special place in heaven someday, if that's what you believe!
smartypantz Number God is a master engineer
_FLOOOF flyingggg thru the air._*Tweet-twee-Tweet munch munch munch* 🐩 walks by-sniff sniff, dog thinks "Squeaker toys!" 🦉*kick...kick kick..kickkickkickkick* _meanwhile I keep staring into those _*_HUGE adorable galaxy-holding_** 🦉_ eyes.*_ 🤗
Definitely those eyes!
Martin just seems like he really loves these little omelets. I've watched many of his videos and you can see the love for all birds and its clear thatveagles hold a very special place in his heart hoiwever when he handles owls,you see a different expression on his face. He smiles a lot lot more. I think it's their great big eyes and eyelashes! I mean look at them all laying on their backs,feet up,with those great big eyes follo wing his every move!!! Just adorable.
Thanks Donna, Martin is defnitely a critter guy!
Years ago, I was having a horrible night on a paper route I had at the time. Near the end of the route I had found one of my customers had put their ceramic owl IN their box instead of on top. Barely controlling my irritation, I roughly reached in to grab the thing and slam it on top of the box. As I grasped it's soft feathers, it very calmly turned to look at me. Snatching my hand back in shock I just stared dumbfounded at this living owl looking calmly back at me. After some of the coolest minutes of my life looking at this adorable bird from about a foot away, the owl calmly took off, flitting through my car and out the other side. I later figured out it was an eastern saw-whet owl. To this day, that remains one of the most profound wild animal encounters I've had.
We're glad you both were unharmed! What a surprise encounter!
It should be illegal to be that adorable, they are so freaking cute!
Cute and tough!
This man is a land angel. His love for life is unconditional. That's rare here. I thank God for such compassionate, selfless souls! I try my best too, we all need to recognize this gift.
Martin Tyner is a beautiful man to care for these precious wild birds. A big thank you.
This is just the cutest thing ever! I love Owls and am always looking for videos. This is my favorite! Those little one's following your every move with those amazing eyes! Fantastic video!
Papa-Martin is so patient.
He does what he can to sooth the stress they feel in captivity
Awwwwwww, those sweet face!!!! (it's like me, waking up in the morning) Hahahaha!
Thank you , good family , for your work!!!
They look sweet, but they are pretty tough!
wow these are sooooo cute!!!! But man, with those razor sharp talons, those feisty little babies are giving Martin bunny kicks from hell! 🤦😇😘
They’re so cute. And when a baby owl looks at you, you stay looked at.
the super calm feeding session really tripped me out.
Not too calm, they are very stressed in captivity.
I just loved the way each owl baby would watch every move you made. How lucky those babies were to survive such a close shave. Great work saving them, they've got such curious faces
They are incredibly aware of every move!
These little owlets are just too darn cute! I love every type of owl, especially burrowing owls. But there's just something so unique and cool about these guys. Thank you so much for sharing your work, and for showing us these beautiful critters and teaching us important information about what we can do to keep them safe. 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed
You truly cease to amaze me with your knowledge and abilities
Thanks for all your support!
Thank you for this video. I think everyone should watch this for better education. There are TOO MANY videos on youtube of people finding and keeping and self rehab + then turn them into their pets. So wrong. Seeing these owls stressed, clacking their beaks and in defense mode breaks the heart but it's necessary, thank goodness for you guys and all that you do. The ONLY people who should handle wild owls are wildlife centers, falconers & those with a license.
The Saw Whet Owl is my favorite owl species and I was so happy to see you save theses chicks! I have to say that Americans like you and your family give me hope whenever I’m feeling frustrated with how the culture of America is behaving. Thank you for your kindness, patience and dedication to helping vulnerable animals. You seem like a really lovely person who would be fascinating to meet and listen too!
Thank you for your interest
Martin has such compassion & patience for these little owlets. He's just amazing & these owlets are very fortunate.
that clicking... to remind you that yes, we have talons but we Also have snappy lil' beaks!
it occurs to me that realistically in the wild maybe half this clutch would have made it to adulthood. but because of human intervention (for the good, the bad or the indifferent) all of them have a solid chance to grow up and nest.
Wow what a wonderful job you do and it shows how geniune you truly are. Bless you.
These babies are of one beauty extraordinary, and of one sweetness incredible!! 💕🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉💕🥰
They are the cutest lil fellows. Boy they are mean babies. Thank god for angel rescures. Bless you friend👍👍👍
I love what you’re doing. You’re doing an awesome job but you gotta talk more. Share your wisdom!
Thanks for watching!
Those fuzzy earmuffs sure are pointy! Very lucky none were injured when their tree was chopped down. The poor parents must've been devastated.
It's pretty amazing they all survived.
It is. That city is the greenest place on the planet. By the definition of Google. Its a small city in southwest of Iran called JHHROM. The city is full of Palm tress, thousands of orchards. Circus growth of all kinds of fruits. Oranges, tangerines, lemon,lime and sweet lemon that is native IRAN. Also the walks of the streets are full of Mulberry. Has the smaller fruits to their close cousins Strawberry. My father had several orchards of Oranges, lime,lemon, sweet lemon and very tall palm trees. The places that would have peace of mind and tranquility, was outside of the city but with walking distance. I did most of my studies and homework during my high school in that part of the city. I miss those days.
Sounds like an amazing place.
I LOVE owl's, there is a pair of barn owls that fly around at night here, they mate for life as far as I know, they are better than people IMO!!!
Sounds like you have great neighbors!
@@GowildlifeOrg I live in SF Bay area, you tell me...
@Voracious Reader That is what I was speaking of... I love those birds, you can't here them unless they are talking to each other...
This guy has incredible patience. The little critters are unbelieveably cute
Oh dear, my favorite bird. I would be in tears when having to release. I can look at owls for long periods of times. Babies are too cute, even when they are in that "ugly" moulting stage (is that what it is called, moulting?) LOL is that parakeets I hear in the background? Sidestepping the power of flight, I find birds positively fascinating.
They are cute, but definitely more more fun to see in the wild! There were other cages nearby, so likely you heard other critters!
BEYOND CUTE....there are so many species I never knew existed!
Good to hear, education is very important to us!
The little owl in the corner is looking up like your husband is daddy... Do owl babies play with each other like other species? When Martin's with his birds it's like a little kid with a train set hes that into it.. it's awesome
They are mostly aloof
AWWWWWWW such cute birds *bird cut me with razor sharp talons* awww thats so DEADLY!
They look like the TY Beanie Babies with the big Ole eyes lol SO FREAKING ADORABLE!
Amazing to be so close to wild beings!!!
Agreed!
Awesome video great job w the lil guys... patience n time ...
I have to watch this video over and over again because the adorableness of these little round owls is so irresistible and addictive. They are so freakin' cute!!!
They are a sight!
They are super cute sitting in a row like that
Agreed!
They are clicking at him. Trying to be scary. So cute!
I love the look on his face while he takes care of them they are sooooo cute little vicious cuties I love when he's had them a couple days abd tgey stop fighting and line up on that perch nicely waiting for a bite the owl whisperer
Captivity is very stressful for them
These feisty little baby owls have to be the cutest ever! Such a gift you have Mr. Martin! I only found your channel a few days ago and I am so excited to see your videos in my UA-cam feed. Blessings to you and your family and of course to all the little angels you care for.💜
They are expressive for sure! Glad you are enjoying our channel!
They are sooooo beautiful and adorable!
Day 7 looks like they arranged themselves by size. Fascinating😅
So cute how they pretty much line and wait for you to feed. They must see you as their parent or something.
It takes awhile to get them to eat in captivity, it is very stressful for them.
Very cute birds , thanks for sharing this, interesting video.
Why are they rejecting the food?? Is it because your not their mother?? I loved how they just lay down after they were done fed……I know they are like scared because you are not their mother but still they are still cute
Thanks for your interest. It takes awhile for birds to accept food in captivity. They need to get hungry enough and be handled properly. Their laying down is a defensive move - it leaves their talons up and ready.
@@GowildlifeOrg I saw someone on NatGeo Wild use an owl hand puppet to help feed the baby owls. Maybe that could be a possible option in the future to help encourage them to take the food?
When browse the store, all I see is the Eagle that wouldn't quit
Day 3 are totally different temperament. They calmy knew his intentions. This is a great guy & his team work hard. The world is lucky to have him here!
Captivity is very stressful for them. Sometimes it takes awhile before they will eat.
Wish you would have recorded when they were released into the wild. Great video anyway!
Great Job - Congratulation - the World needs people like you. Best wishes from Germany.
Thank you Uwe, we appreciate your interest all the way from Germany!
We all wordwide should take more resposibility of our environment. Even if I am not green politically is your engagement much appreciated and should be more published all over the world. In order to open the peoples mind and their responsibility for all creatures worldwide
Actually, I thought they had spent sufficient time with you that return to the wild would not be done. It's better news that they're now free!
Just for basic knowledge, I wonder how many boys/girls were in the group?
You did a superb job of progressively changing or enhancing each feeding!
It was so funny that your dog was pacing throughout each feeding til they weren't in the house!!!!
Thanks for watching, we appreciate your interest. We don't know what the genders were.
I love how they each wait patiently their turn for the pieces of food. Lol
Oh look at them. Never seen a owl like that!!! So adorable
Martin's patience is absolutely legendary, he is such a great dad to all these babies.
Before Martin said it I was thinking: Something that small has these sharp nails spread out in all directions.
Razors!
Day 4 -- not tame, but smart enough to figure out that cooperating with the person feeding them is a winning idea.
Captivity is very stressful, it takes a while sometimes to get them to eat.
