Animal Welfare
All birds are captured & banded with federal & provincial permits in place by trained and certified professionals. We have scheduled these experiences to give our birding specialists and participants the best chance to see wild birds. However, many factors outside our control make it impossible to guarantee that participants will see wildlife.
Participants will not have an opportunity to handle any birds but will get a chance to see them up close.
We allow up to 16 participants per event to ensure the welfare of all animals. Other precautions including an orientation will be in place to prevent added stress on the animals.
These events are part of Redberry Lake Biosphere’s ongoing and scheduled conservation work designed to track species of birds and their population. This work contributes to conservation across the continent.
