OUR POLICIES
Cancellation Policy: We do not offer refunds, but you can reschedule or receive store credit for encounters or presentations. Store credit never expires. This policy also applies if we need to cancel your encounter due to bad weather, disasters, or illness.
Bird Safety policy: Our birds are wild creatures, not pets. Quietness and a slow approach are necessary for a pleasant experience for both the birds and guests. Safety instructions will be provided during the presentation to ensure everyone's well-being and the comfort of the birds. Respecting their wild nature is essential for fostering a positive interaction. Guests are welcome to take photos, selfies, and videos of the birds during the event.
