Join us for a behind the scenes look at conservation in action. You'll see hundreds of gorgeous birds (30 species) and watch their behavior up close. We'll start off with an overview of our work, and then visit several different parts of the sanctuary. Each visit will be different. Sometimes there are babies to enjoy and other times we have to avoid nesting birds. You'll get close encounters that could change your sense of bird intelligence and personality. You can enter some aviaries, but this is optional. We are sensitive to different comfort zones. Visitors have included people who are afraid of birds, people who don't like birds, and people who have never met a bird. To date everyone has enjoyed their visit. At the end, we'll gather over drinks and snacks to talk about the experience and get to know each other. National Geographic has photographed our birds; Lucas Films has recorded bird calls. Now, you will be able to get close to some of the most beautiful and unusual birds in the world! In the past we have not been open to the public, but for the next few months we are opening our doors. We respectfully ask that no photos be taken.
