Trainer for a Day

Ever thought about a career in bird training? Or simply want to see what it’s like behind the scenes with our Bird Show trainers? Then this program is for you!

Enjoy an unforgettable experience in the company of birds and Aviary staff while learning exactly what it takes to be a bird trainer. Trainers at Tracy Aviary are responsible for caring for the birds in the Bird Programs Department and training them for husbandry and show behaviors, as well as presenting shows and other educational programs.

This customized experience includes admission to the Aviary and three hours of one-on-one time with our bird trainers, during which you will observe and assist in the care and training of our birds. Play with a parrot, talk to a toucan, fly a falcon, enrich an emu… and more! Participants will also receive a Junior Bird Trainer certificate and a photo with one of our bird show stars to commemorate their day.
