All summer long through October, World Bird Sanctuary will
be at Grant's Farm with some of our birds. It is free to visit! You will not only find some of our raptors on display, you
will also get to see a few of our birds perform in the Animal Encounters show.

The Animal Encounters show features all sorts of different
animals, many of which the audience gets to interact with, hands on. From reptiles to mammals to birds, the
animal encounters show has it all.
World Bird Sanctuary stars include Otis the Abdim's Stork, Emerson the
Eurasian Eagle Owl, and McGuire and Sanibel the Bald Eagles. This show is unique to Grant's Farm and
can't be seen anywhere else. Be sure to stop by this summer and see us! You can also meet some of the
stars up close and personal at our periodic sidewalk
interactions throughout the day.

World Bird Sanctuary also has birds on display during
visiting hours. At our Grant’s
Farm weathering area, you can find the following birds: Bald Eagle, Red-tailed
Hawk, Bateleur Eagle, Great-horned Owl, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Red-shouldered
Hawk, and Peregrine/Gyrfalcon hybrid.
These birds make great models for anyone interested in bird
photography. We also have an open
enclosure with two Bald Eagles roaming freely. These eagles came to WBS with injuries that make them
permanent captive birds. These
eagles can often be found perching on their enclosure logs,
looking majestic for visitors.

Something new this year is a photo opportunity with one of
World Bird Sanctuary's Bald Eagles.
While waiting in line to get into the farm, you can have your photo
taken with a live Bald Eagle! This
year you will find both Sanibel and McGuire posing for photos at the entrance. Photos are taken in front of a Grant’s
Farm backdrop, making a great trip souvenir. Don’t miss your chance to meet and greet a live bald eagle
up close and personal!
