The North Wales Bird
Trust is a registered Charity based in Llandudno, North Wales. We
are a highly specialised centre involved in the care and rehabilitation
of birds of prey and tropical birds. We operate closely with local
veterinary practices and the R.S.P.C.A. in this important work.
|
|
| The N.W.B.T. presents exciting and informative educational programmes to a variety of audiences including schools, civic groups, retirement homes and environmental organisations either here at the function rooms at Bodafon Farm Park or at your own venue. | ||
|
The talk consists
of one or two people accompanied by approximately three birds.
Depending on the time of year we will also bring baby owls to
the talk. The person giving the talk will touch on a number of
subjects covering the work of the Trust, the various species displayed,
environmental problems faced by birds and what to do if you find
an injured bird of prey, with questions afterwards. Generally
speaking we will show a British Barn owl, a tiny Scops owl and
a European Eagle Owl. This is subject to availability. The actual
talk will last anything from 30 minutes to an hour, sometimes
longer, depending on how captivated our audience is. The birds
are not flown but held by the handler whilst the talk is in progress
and there is an opportunity at the end of the talk for the audience
to meet the birds. For schools we are able happy to tailor our
talks to encompass any subject specific material to fit in with
the National Curriculum.

We have also extended
the animal assisted therapy programmes which are offered to hospitals,
special needs facilities, nursing homes and retirement centres.
A select group of tame, well socialised sanctuary birds provide
education, entertainment and love to the sick, injured and elderly
citizens in our community. Everyone is encouraged to hold and
interact with these birds. Many staff working with the sick and
elderly say this is one of the most successful therapy programmes
offered to date.

For further information about
any of the above programmes please contact Pam Broughton on 0777 641 6922
or 01492 870719 or write to the Trust or
e mail: birdangle@aol.com
ALL THESE PROGRAMMES ( WHEN WE COME TO YOU ) ARE FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER,
AS A CHARITY WITH A HUGE NUMBER OF DEPENDENT BIRDS TO FEED AND CARE FOR,
IF THE ORGANISATION CAN AFFORD IT, A DONATION TOWARDS THE WORK OF THE
TRUST WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THE AMOUNT IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR DISCRETION.
Open to
the public daily throughout the year from 10am.
