Valentino's Fa-BOO-lous Birthday: Expert Talk

Valentino eating a sweet potato treat!

Mon., October 13 | 12:30 - 1 pm
Included with General Admission

Our resident Linnaeus’s Two-toed Sloth, Valentino, is a Halloween baby! We're celebrating his boo-day a little early this year, because few things are creepier than the number 13!

Visit the National Aviary for a ONE DAY ONLY Expert Talk and card signing featuring the birthday boy himself. Write a birthday wish for Valentino on a larger-than-life birthday card, then watch as he adds his own "signature" using his natural ability to grasp and move objects while an Aviary expert provides insights on his "life in the slo-o-ow lane."

Valentino’s Fa-BOO-lous Birthday Expert Talk Schedule:

  • 10 am - 12:15 pm: Sign Valentino's Birthday Card in the Atrium!
  • 12:30 pm: Venture to the Helen M. Schmidt FliteZone™ Theater to watch Valentino add his "sloth signature" to his own birthday card. Seating is limited.

Date & Time

October 13 @ 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm
