Presentation Descriptions
Pool Bird Feeding Our Brown Pelican,
Double-crested Cormorant, Herrmann’s Gull and Western Gull get fed twice
a day. Ambassador Volunteers will be happy to answer your questions
about these amazing birds and you may get a chance to observe some
training.
Meet the Raptor A trained
Ambassador Volunteer will bring one of our Educational Raptors out into
the courtyard to meet with you. You will get a chance to get a good
look at one of these amazing birds of prey on the glove of the Volunteer
who will be happy to answer any of your questions.
Meet the Tortoise Mohave,
our California Desert Tortoise comes out of his enclosure and wanders
our courtyard, saying hi to all our visitors. Get an up close look at
this amazing reptile. Find out amazing facts about California’s state
reptile and why Desert Tortoises in the wild are in trouble.
Woodpecker Enrichment A
trained Ambassador Volunteer will go into the woodpecker enclosure and
get Cache, our newest Acorn Woodpecker on the glove. Visitors can then
see some of the amazing adaptations of this common Oak Woodland
resident, such as their long tongue.
Meet the Opossum Our opossum is currently offsite while her cage is being rebuilt. Her schedule will be posted upon her return.
Turkey Vulture Enrichment You
may not know it, but Turkey Vultures are very smart, social birds.
WildCare’s Turkey Vulture, Vladimir, can get easily bored, so the
Ambassador Volunteers stimulate him with a variety of fun food and
non-food items. Come see him tear into them, and find out about these
wonderful scavengers.
Guided Center Tours with a trained WildCare naturalist are also available.
