We are a licensed educational facility, offering programs in southeastern Minnesota and online. Our programs are generally geared to ages 12 and up. If you are a school, community group, club, or facility interested in booking one of our programs featuring live birds, please email us at wildlife@vultureconservancy.org

*Please note – we are not currently running live off-site programs due to Covid-19 and HPAI (avian influenza) concerns, but will post here when we can safely continue them. We are offering virtual/online programs at this time.

Topics include:

  • Vultures – Super Scavengers – Their importance to the health of ecosystems
  • Wildlife Rehabilitation – What is it and how to get involved
  • The American Kestrel – Birds in your Backyard
  • Clever Corvids – Learn about some of the world’s smartest birds
  • Falconry in Minnesota
  • Careers Working With Wildlife
  • Owls Underground! – Burrowing Owls of the Northern Prairies

Presentations within these topics can be tailored to your specific needs and curriculum.

  • Luna, our barn owl ambassador
  • Bluey, one of our ‘Clever Corvids’ teammates

We do not display any wildlife undergoing rehabilitation care; ambassador birds that participate in our education programs are permanent residents held under proper state and federal (USFWS) permits.
