Here
at Birdworld we have a dedicated Education Team striving
to promote an understanding of the Animal Kingdom through
fun and interesting talks in the park. These include the
Penguin Feeding Talk, Owl Prowl, Safari Ride and the Heron
Theatre bird show. During these talks birds demonstrate
their adaptations to their own natural habitats in a way
designed to capture both interest and the imagination.
Schools
Birdworld serves as an exciting location for school visits
and educational sessions. What could be better than to give
students a first hand experience of seeing penguins dive
for fish or South American parrots in full flight? Heron
Theatre bird shows can be tailored to suit your needs and
are adjusted to match the National Curriculum of the age
group and topic of work.
Education at Birdworld is about so much more than just birds!
Underwater World and the Jenny Wren Farm ensure learning
about classification and animal diversity is fun and engaging
for everyone.
Colleges
Birdworld is able to tailor talks and displays to your needs.
In the past we have run full-day programmes involving formal
lectures, bird displays and keeper talks. Previous subjects
have included, but are not limited to: Zoo Management, Zoo
Legislation, Animal Husbandry and Nutrition, Locomotion
of Fish and Birds, and Captive Breeding programmes.
