Birds of Prey (all ages)

Experience the beauty, speed and power of our birds of prey

Hear the flap of wings as an eagle swoops by, see the incomparable agility of a falcon, and become enchanted by the facts and folklore of Michigan's owls. Our birds of prey programs allow you experience these magnificent raptors in action and learn about their vital roles in the natural world.

Programs are offered to the public, year round, for a modest fee. Your participation in these programs will not only inspire you, but will help fund the care of the birds who each has a injury that would prevent them from surviving in the wild.
