Avian Ambassadors

With the help of our avian ambassadors, students learn about the amazing adaptations that enable birds to thrive in their specialized environments.

We discuss: 

• Waterfowl: What makes this group of birds unique
• Feet, beaks and feathers: How these adaptations perfectly suit birds for their habitats
• Imprinting: How we train our birds for success in the classroom

​This program is tailored to fulfill the following Next Generation Science Standards:

• K-LS1-1, K-ESS3-1, K-ESS2-2 
• 1-LS1-2 
• 2-LS4-1 
• 3-LS2-1, 3-LS4-3 
• 4-LS1-1 
• MS-LS2-2, MS-LS1-4
