Experience the breathtaking world of birds of prey up close with Christine's Critters Inc., a nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation and education organization from Connecticut. Christine will introduce a selection of live ambassador raptors, share their individual rescue stories, and explore the vital role these magnificent birds play in our shared ecosystem. A one-of-a-kind encounter with wildlife, set against the beauty of Untermyer Gardens. The presentation will be followed by a Q & A, so you'll have the opportunity to ask Christine all about birds of prey and wildlife rehabilitation!
This program takes place outside in the gardens. Chairs will be provided. Moves indoors in case of rain. Participants must remain seated for the entire program and remain quiet during the presentation. Ages 6 and older accompanied by an adult.
All of the birds in this program are animal ambassadors from Christine’s Critters, a non-profit organization devoted to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured birds of prey. Their mission is to give these birds a second chance, by healing and releasing them back into the wild or providing a permanent, safe home for those that cannot survive on their own.
