The Alabama Wildlife Center’s educational programs are greatly enhanced by the participation of our education birds. AWC staff and volunteers work together with the education birds to provide interesting and informative programs for schools, scouts and civic groups. Visitors are fascinated by the calm and majestic bearing of these seldom-seen birds. By featuring live birds during educational programs, we are able to offer visitors an up-close experience with a live raptor as they learn about the important role that predatory birds play in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
