In the Girl Scout Interest Project Handbook it says that “If it has feathers, it’s a bird! Birds are an indicator species for environmental health, meaning that if a species of bird gets sick, there is something wrong in the entire ecosystem.” We invite you to join us as we explore the world of birds and how to protect these incredible animals. Program highlights include a trip to one of our aviaries, learning to use binoculars and spotting scopes to identify birds, and use of the Zoo’s many resources including a service project that involves teaching the public about the International Migratory Bird Day celebration!
