Shows Shows All About Raptors Raptor Programs

Birds of Prey

Trainers

The Birds of Prey shows are presented by expert trainers who spend countless hours training and nurturing these birds. The trust and mutual respect between the birds and trainers is evident in each of their performances.

Pet Policy

For your pet's safety and the safety of our raptors, no pets are allowed in or near the Discovery Amphitheater or the bike path behind the amphitheater when a Birds of Prey show is in progress or during training sessions.  The birds in the program are not domesticated and retain all of their hunting instincts and abilities.
