Animal Care

The Birds Lead the Day

Every program is shaped around safety, weather, welfare, and the birds' behavior. That means the exact species, handling moments, and flight elements may vary, which keeps the experience honest and responsible.

  • Respectful introductions before any close interaction.
  • Clear boundaries for guest safety and bird comfort.
  • Educational context for each species and its habitat.
