Description

Members of ONE-TC are invited to learn about Falcons and Falcony at The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine.

Humans and raptors have a connection that predates modern American history. Learn about the exciting sport of falconry and its impact on our world today. Join specialists from The Raptor Center as they entertain you with falconry stories from years past, current raptor training techniques, and critical conservation issues that face today's birds of prey. The 60-minute program includes live raptors traditionally used in the sport of falconry, such as the red-tailed hawk, peregrine falcon, golden eagle, and American kestrel, plus many hands-on artifacts, such as traditional falconry equipment, raptor feet, wings, feathers, and skulls.

The auditorium program is followed by a tour of The Raptor Center and the outdoor housing area, where we will see most of the 31 education raptors and hear some of their exciting stories.

There is space for 8 families (8 adults and 8 children), and we need a minimum of 5 families. The cost is $5/child and $7.50/adult (or $12.50 per family). 

The program lasts about an hour.
