Free Flight

ON-SITE OUTREACH - Free Flight is an open sanctuary that provides a unique opportunity for the public to safely engage with and learn about the complex personalities and needs of parrots. We host individuals and groups families,schools, camps, assisted living facilities, clubs, and special interest groups through regular visitation, field trips, and custom guided tours e.g.,American Sign Language ASL Interpreted Tours. We train adult volunteers in parrot care and interpretive communications, who join our expert staff in helping guests develop a lasting concern for the well-being of exotic birds. Free Flight also offers seasonal youth camps and a special junior docent training program for teenagers interested inavian husbandry and sanctuary operations.

OFF SITE OUTREACH - Free Flight travels to local venues e.g., schools, assisted living facilities, private homes, corporate offices, and public spaces and community events in San Diego County, where we offer interactive educational presentations on exotic birds to increase public awareness for their well-being and of the special human-avian bond.

Other programs include bird sponsorship which provides individuals with the opportunity to financially sponsor a bird without the full burden of ownership but with dedicated interaction.
