World Bird Sanctuary invites the public to watch Bald Eagle Training

World Bird Sanctuary is inviting members of the public to watch the process of a bird being trained to fly.  We are currently training a Bald Eagle to fly, and these training sessions are conducted at Lower Buder Park, Valley Park, every Saturday and Sunday from 1pm.  These flights will be continued until the end of February 2010 – they may be extended into March.

These eagles are being trained to fly at big events and shows.  Roger Wallace, Eagle Trainer and expert Naturalist, will be conducting the Bald Eagle training sessions at Lower Buder Park.  Members of the public are invited to come and observe these training sessions to gain insight into how these magnificent birds are trained to fly to their trainer at big events and shows.

The Bald Eagles that are trained to fly are birds that were received by the World Bird Sanctuary because they are not able to be successfully released back into the wild.

This is an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in Bald Eagles and/or animal training to learn more about the training process.

Observing these training sessions is free.
