Teen Job Shadow Details
Attention parents and caregivers of teens passionate about animals! Your animal-obsessed teen can join our TALON-ted experts on a behind-the-scenes look at the daily happenings of National Aviary!
In this four-part series, they’ll witness firsthand what it takes to care for the more than 500 birds, mammals, and reptiles in our flock. From one of the slowest mammals (the Linnaeus’s Two-toed Sloth), to the fastest animal in the world (a Peregrine Falcon), your budding zoologist will gain a unique look into diet preparation, habitat maintenance, individual bird preferences, and so much more!
Open to participants ages 14 – 18.
