Raptor Programs at Your Location
Combined, our birds participate in 600 educational programs every year. These educational locations include classrooms, libraries, museums, and outdoor events like Wisconsin State Fair. Birds teach about habitat loss, adaptations, ecosystem health, and many other topics.
All programs below, with the exception of the Raptors in Conservation program, can be facilitated in either a meet & greet or presentation-style format. Meet & greets are best suited for events or venues where the audience is passing through – like farmer’s markets or festivals. Presentations are best suited for events or venues where the audience will attend the entire program – like libraries, social organizations, or residential care facilities.
Pricing varies depending on event details.
Owls: Designed for Darkness
These seldom seen, silent winged hunters shine best when the sun goes down. Our feathered raptor staff model their special night hunting adaptations and some basic owl behaviors providing insights into their natural history. Wisconsin is home to a variety of native owls, each with its own special adaptations. Our resident owls will engage your audience as they see firsthand the power of these amazing birds.
Beaks & Talons
Which bird is the fastest? Which has silent flight? Join us for an interactive comparison of falcons, hawks, and owls. This is an engaging and informative experience for all ages!
Eagle & Friends
With awesome power, spectacular strength, a huge wingspan, and massive talons, the Bald Eagle is the very essence of a raptor and headlines this program. Accompanied by hawks, owls, and falcons.
Raptors in Conservation
Raptor ecologists face many conservation challenges. Environmental contamination, habitat loss, and climate change have the most dramatic effect on apex predators, making raptors strong indicators of overall ecosystem health. Our live birds will provide unique opportunities to explore past and present issues in conservation and highlight conservation successes. Audience members will also learn how they can help conserve raptors in their everyday lives.
This program is only available in presentation-style format.
New: Adaptive Adventures
Join us on an adaptive, nature-based adventure! With some help from our feathered, scaly, and shelled animal ambassadors, we will do a sensory exploration of Wisconsin wildlife. The program will begin in an accessible classroom where we will meet a native raptor, reptile, and amphibian. An outdoor hike will follow, meandering through our accessible trails to explore some of the habitats these animals live in.
This program can be adapted to best fit your group’s needs. Please include details on how we can best prepare for your group.
