Join Native Bird Connections Executive Director Jenny Papka, along with three live raptors, for an informative and awesome experience. Attendees will be able to sit and view up close the magnificent raptors, learn about what they eat and learn about their natural habitats in the wild.

Native Bird Connections strives to immerse the audience in an intimate view of a wild bird's behavior, life choices and needs. Regardless of age, participants find themselves connecting with living beings through empathy and awe, emerging inspired.

We introduce you to LIVE non-releasable wild birds, and also have touchable artifacts that include feet, feathers, wings and skulls of various birds available for folks to experience.

Native Bird Connections maintains a daily commitment to three goals:

• Respect - for animals and people, accepting them for who they are, not who we wish them to be,
• Responsibility - we are obligated to "walk our talk" and accept personal responsibility for the lives of our wild partners,
• Reverence - we are thankful for the people and animals that influence our ability to continue providing unparalleled nature experiences. We commit to retaining our sense of awe.

Native Bird Connections is privileged to share our educational endeavors with wild birds as our partners. Our birds are the victims of permanent physical or psychological damage rendering them unable to survive in the wild. We have asked them to accept captivity within a realm of respect and trust, acknowledging fully their loss of a wild life while challenging them to an active role in captivity as ambassadors and teachers.
