Program is located in the historic Hardeman Barn on our campus in Wilson, Wyoming and must be scheduled 48 hours in advance.

Discover the world of raptors and their significance! Join us for a 75 minute program behind the scenes to understand the training and care involved in managing a diverse team of avian ambassadors. Delve into the science of training and welfare, witnessing daily enrichment and training routines in the Roost, where our education birds reside. While the birds free fly, there is no physical contact with the public. This program is for ages 6+. Due to concerns about Avian Influenza, we provide shoe covers upon entry to the Roost.
Get an exclusive look behind the scenes in our rehabilitation clinic and learn about what it takes to keep wild birds wild. Participants will explore the main reasons why birds are admitted to the clinic, view our x-ray machine and use some of our diagnostic tools, then tour through our state-of-the-art clinic. Participants will meet a live bird that was once a patient, and who is unable to return to the wild. 75 minute program.
* Disclaimer: By signing up for this program, participants agree to and understand the following risk: The clinic is a location that temporarily houses wild birds. These are unvaccinated birds and could potentially carry diseases, parasites and more. Although the clinic is sanitized daily, there is always a possibility of the transfer of zoonotic diseases.
Meet the birds at your location for a unique, arm’s length learning experience at your next special event, including corporate retreats, family reunions, weddings, birthdays, special dinners or other group gatherings at your home or other venue. These 60-minute programs are an opportunity to meet our resident raptors, and must be scheduled in advance.
