Program Description:

This program begins at 11:00 AM and will take place in the Wildlife Walk, rain or shine. Guests will be able to observe staff training and working with the raptors while engaging in informational discussions about their personal stories, natural history, and conservation. Presentations may occur with staff either inside or outside of the enclosures, depending on the comfort and training of each animal.

We kindly ask that guests show respect towards the raptors, their trainers, and other animals on the Wildlife Walk. loud or sudden noises can be distracting to the ambassadors during their training sessions.

It's important to note that we utilize positive reinforcement-based training methods, and we do not force our animals to do anything if they do not want to participate. The program may include training sessions with any of the raptors that call BRWC home, but we cannot promise to train any individual for you if the staff determines the bird is not comfortable or willing to participate.

Please check in at the front desk (Look for the blue door of our main building) upon arrival and follow all staff prompts to ensure the safety and comfort of our ambassadors.
