Plan Your Group Visit
Our education programs allow learners of all ages to see live birds of prey such as falcons, owls and eagles up-close and to learn about the impressive adaptations and behaviors of these remarkable birds as well as the conservation issues that affect them.
Groups have the option of having Center educators bring birds directly to their facility for an offsite program or arrange for their group to visit the Center for a tour and flight demonstration.
School Groups
Nothing can match the excitement of being near live birds to grab a student’s attention and create teachable moments. Birds of prey can be easily used to meet a variety of state science standards and our staff can focus the program based off your curriculm needs.
Classroom Visits: The Bird of Prey Center education staff can bring birds of prey directly to your school for an exciting and informative education program. Students can observe birds of prey up-close as the Birds of Prey educators use inquiry methods and hands-on objects to provide students with an interactive educational experience. The programs also typically include a flying demonstration, allowing students to observe flight behaviors first hand.
Programs can be arranged to occur in a classroom or larger auditorium for 30 to 90 minutes. The Center for Birds of Prey's education staff can also be scheduled to conduct more than one program during their visit to your school.
On-site Visits: On-site programs may be scheduled Tuesday - Friday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. During the program, students can see birds of prey from all over the world as the education staff uses inquiry methods to provide students with an interactive educational experience. The students are then brought to the Center’s flying fields for a flight demonstration with live raptors in which the students can observe flight behaviors of a variety of birds of prey, including owls, falcons and eagles.
