We are pleased to announce the dates for our 6th Annual Raptor Handling Class. This year’s class will be held at the Marriott Hotel in Uptown Albuquerque on the weekend of July 11th and 12th, 2009.
This year we have a guest presenter; Robin Shewokis of The Leather Elves will present “Enrichment for Captive Raptors”. Robin has consulted with zoos around the world on the subject of environmental enrichment for captive animals. This is a great opportunity – having Robin visit us in Albuquerque and present during our class.
In addition to Robin’s presentation the class includes:
- Basic raptor biology
- Equipment used with raptors in educational programs
- Handling techniques
- Raptor possession permit requirements
- Introduction to science based training strategies
- Hands-on time with birds
Since this class has a hands-on component the size of the class is limited so please make your reservation as soon as possible.
The cost of the class is $65.00 per person; this includes a printed handbook and a lunch snack on each day. Please call (505) 349 5714 or email classes
