School Visit Overview

Our presentations educate and excite students from kindergarten through to O.A. C. We fit into many of the strands in both the Elementary and Secondary Science Curriculum. Canadian Raptor Conservancy combines education with entertainment to teach students about raptors and their important role in nature. Each show consists of five distinctly different raptors and if space permits they will show off their unique flight capabilities, indoors or out. Canadian Raptor Conservancy offers three different show configurations:

Option 1: Give a Hoot! Owls
Option 2: Endangered Species of Canada
Option 3: The World of Raptors

Each demonstration includes an educational commentary* that addresses each individual species and how they fit into their natural world. (*Also available in French from April through September.) We will cover such topics as:

• the food chain
• distribution
• habitat
• adaptations
• hunting style
• historical significance

Birds that are typically available for our presentations include:

Owls Screech Owl Barn Owl Great Horned Owl Snowy Owl

Endangered Species of Canada Bald Eagle Golden Eagle Peregrine Falcon Gyr Falcon

The World of Raptors Turkey Vulture American Kestrel Red-tailed Hawk Lanner Falcon Harris Hawk
