Our Native Neighbors
Monday, April 2nd 2012
Time: 9 AM – 4 PM
Spring is a time for new beginnings, from bright blossoms to chirping chicks. Come learn how to attract new friends to your backyard by making your own bird feeders and bird houses. To help you get to know them better, you will learn all about the fantastic feathered visitors flocking to your yard every year and with your help, your favorite little neighbors will get back into the spring swing of things after a long winter!
A Mess of Nests
Tuesday, April 3rd 2012
Time: 9 AM – 4 PM
They weave, they burrow, they collect, they construct. From fashioning with feathers to molding with mud, birds are skilled artists at creating a safe haven for their little ones. Join us as we study the nests of our Aviary residents and then build our own creations, bird-size and kid-size too! What would you use to build your nest?
High Flying Colors
Wednesday, April 4th 2012
Time: 9 AM – 4 PM
Join us this spring as we search for the blue of a robin’s egg, the red of a house finch and the rainbow of a toucan’s beak in this brand-new, arts-and-crafts focused camp. We will explore what color really means for birds by playing with it ourselves through creative crafts, yummy snacks and new friends, human and feathered alike. Don’t miss it!
Tweet n’ Shout
Thursday, April 5th 2012
Time: 9 AM – 4 PM
Sing, squawk, caw and tweet your heart out in a new Tracy Aviary Spring Break Camp that is all about birds and the phenomenal noises they make. Because birds are some of the best vocalists around, we will take their lead as we learn bird songs, make musical instruments and discover how birds make themselves heard during one of the busiest and noisiest of seasons—Spring!
Gotta Have My Grubs
Friday, April 6th 2012
Time: 9 AM – 4 PM
Worms and berries and algae—oh my! Come to Tracy Aviary find out what it’s really like to eat like a bird. Whether it’s a meaty meal or a fruity feast, we will uncover all the mysteries of how birds get their food and what exactly it is they’re eating. Be prepared to test your bird food-finding skills and your taste buds with games, crafts and kid-friendly snacks that are beak-lickin’ good.
