January 5th is
"National Bird Day" 

March 21st is Missouri's
"Bird Appreciation Day"

"Swoop" is an eagle-owl; one of the largest specie of owls in the world.  "Talon" is a spectacled owl; the largest rainforest owl in the America's.  

Our very popular 'Owl Prowl' educates about owl behaviours, abilities and survival. Fascinating facts shared.  Read about them to the right of this sidebar.

MISSION STATEMENT: "For avian education, religious instruction, teach children responsibility & care of owning pet birds, the prevention of cruelty to pet birds, and to educate the significance of trees to sustain life for wildlife and humans".

The eagle-owl in flight is the same type as Swoop but belongs to our friends at Turbary Woods Owl & Bird of Prey Sanctuary in England.  Our thanks to them for permission to use their video.  {Video by Slowmo High Speed Camera, UK}

Owl Prowl - Introductory Study Program about Owls and their environment

Swoop (occasionally Talon accompanies him) mystifies audience participants by flying over their heads in a silent flight.  Everyone learns fascinating phenomena about owls and leaves with an intense respect for owls after understanding them better.  You will better comprehend their incredible hearing, eyesight and other amazing abilities.

THESE OWLS OFTEN ACCOMPANY OWL PROGRAMS AT MARTHA LAFITE NATURE SANCTUARY IN LIBERTY, MO.   http://www.naturesanctuary.com/

We are considering obtaining a non-releasable raptor to add to our birds of prey.  The public's fascination with raptors is huge yet another bird will require more cost.  Let us know your thoughts on this and if you want, please donate towards one on the 'About' page.  Thank you!
