In general, we’re only able to host events on Fridays & Sundays at this time.
Sounds like fun! Please contact me about planning an event:
When we host an event, we educate our participants about the incredibly diverse parrot species living among us, and focus on topics such as their care, feeding, behaviors, unique adaptations and ways we can all support global conservation efforts.
Free Flight offers educational programming both onsite at the sanctuary, offsite (at schools, senior centers, libraries, museums, scout troop meetings, birthday parties, corporate events, you name it!), and virtually (by special request). We tailor each program to meet the unique needs, interests, and age range of the anticipated participants.
Our unique tropical outdoor setting located in Del Mar allows parrots and people to interact. Just like most of us, birds thrive on human attention. While at Free Flight you can enjoy the opportunity to meet the birds up close and learn about them from our Free Flight staff and docents.
Learn new skills while having fun with the birds.
Enjoy socializing with the patrons and the parrots.
Community events increase parrot awareness.
“Did You Know?
The parrot’s upper mandible is fused to the skull like other birds’, but moves independently by means of a unique joint, the craniofacial hinge.”
On-site learning opportunities for visitors of all ages, tailored to the needs and interests of your group. Must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreted Tours offered on the last Friday of every month upon prior email request.
Troops of all ages can visit Free Flight to work towards achieving goals & badges! We’ll work with you to coordinate custom activities to meet the needs of your troop!
