Bird-Day Bash

Celebrate our avian ambassadors at our Bird-Day Bash! Every bird at the Carolina Raptor Center gets a year older on January 1st, so we’re throwing a fun-filled celebration. Join us on January 17th for activities, games, and special programs honoring our feathered friends.

This family-friendly event is perfect for anyone who loves birds and nature. Enjoy hands-on activities, learn fascinating facts about raptors, and create memorable experiences as you celebrate our incredible avian ambassadors. Come spread your wings with us at our Bird-Day Bash!

Why do the avian ambassadors have the same birthday?

For many of our birds, it can be difficult or even impossible to know their exact birthdays. In the avian care world, it's customary to advance a bird's age every year on January 1st. Since many bird species are born in the spring, this allows us to have a rough estimate of how old they are without knowing their exact birthday!
