Bird Presentations at the Bird Show Arena

Learn more about some of our beautiful and intelligent birds during these informative shows presented by our bird trainers and EARTH Limited! We offer three different bird presentations: Avian Adventures, Bird Brains, and Wild Wings. Audiences will see a variety of birds and learn about topics including natural behaviors, how our avian team trains our birds, and parrot conservation efforts. Some lucky visitors may even get to participate in a training session!
You may want a bring a dollar or two! Our sun conures, Polly and Piper, will be flying during some shows to retrieve them from you! Half of the donations they collect will be donated towards building nest boxes for wild Blue-throated Macaws (a critically endangered species), and half will be used to purchase toys and enrichment supplies to help keep our birds happy and healthy!
