Across the world, both far and wide, fly powerful raptors who rule the skies. Eagles, owls, hawks, and falcons are equipped with adaptations which make them some of the strongest hunters on the planet, no matter their environment. Discover what raptors are living in the forests of Pennsylvania, and what skills make these raptors truly remarkable. This class includes a visit from a bird-of-prey Animal Ambassador!

There is a great deal of work behind the scenes that positively impacts bird conservation around the world.  This program will focus on what it is that our visitors may not know about the National Aviary: its successes and ongoing strategies for promoting bird conservation.

By creating a bird-friendly habitat for birds, you reduce the amount of time spent lawn-mowing, you reduce or eliminate your use of garden pesticides and herbicides, and you give yourself a beautiful living landscape that is healthier for you, your children, your pets, and wild birds.  This class will give you a place to start in thinking about ways you can change your yard to be more attractive and productive for birds and, at the same time, happier and healthier for you!

The National Aviary is fully ADA compliant, indoors, and one floor.
