Education Programs: Fur, Feathers & Scales

World Bird Sanctuary is dedicated to interactive, entertaining environmental education. Each year, WBS' Education Department reaches over two million people with an important message of survival. With amazing animals and professional Naturalists, WBS programs are second-to-none.

Our Fur, Feathers & Scales program for children ages pre-school through third grade, includes a visit with some of our friendly critters. Children can see and touch a live bird, mammal and reptile to help them learn the basics of what makes certain animals different from others. This program is great for daycare centers and organizations with active youngsters. It accommodates a maximum of 30 children. The following photographs were taken at one of our Fur, Feathers & Scales programs:

Learning that contrary to popular belief, snakes are not slimy
