Avian Enrichment Projects – Great idea for Scouts of all Levels!

Please contact us if you know of a Scout in need of a unique project that may be created off site to be installed on site. We are looking for folks to tackle specific Perch projects to create a better captive environment for our resident Raptors. Tire Perches, Bow Perches, Wrapped Perches (sisal, hemp, cocoa,) Swinging Perches, Block Perches, etc. We are also looking for toys that are safe and inspiring.

TWO HOUR MEET AND GREET $400

This Presentation style is different. We bring along four species of Birds of Prey and rotate the birds during the two hour session. This is not a presentation where an audience must sit and listen for the entire time. This style offers an opportunity for an audience to approach and listen and ask questions during this informal back and forth. We stand behind a table/booth and share each bird with whomever comes forward. Great option for festival style events, weddings, parties, etc. where other things are happening simultaneously.
