Birds of Prey

by Lee Richardson Zoo

Some birds hatch with talons, sharp beaks and keen eyesight for catching prey. No seeds and fruits for these birds please! Take this chance to learn more about birds of prey and how they fulfill their role in an environment as top predators.

The Lee Richardson Zoo's Distance Learning Studio offers a multitude of environmental programs to students all over the nation. Our programs always include 2-4 live animals. However, we are currently unable to give programs from actual exhibits around the zoo. If you would like to know which specific animals will be used in your program, please contact the Distance Learning Coordinator directly.
