Avian Ambassadors

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