Students will have hands-on learning experiences surrounding avian rehabilitation methods including incubation and chick-rearing. They will have learning opportunities in diet preparation, feeding, record- keeping, behavior, animal capture/restraint, cleaning operations and other factors affecting the care of the collection.

Opportunities may be available to learn about other avian species in our collection that include alcids, penguins and albatross. Physical project assignments can include: kneeling, bending, squatting, climbing, scrubbing, sweeping and lifting.
