BABY OWL SHOWER
Saturday, May 8th, 10AM-2PM
1101 Audubon Way, Maitland, FL


What is a “Baby Owl Shower,” you say?  This event started in the 1980’s after the birth of the first baby at the Center from one of our resident birds, a Red-tailed Hawk we named “Uno” (who was later released back to the wild). It has now become our special day to celebrate spring and the many babies received at the Center and to focus our education program on the ways that Audubon rehabilitates orphaned birds of prey. Instead of admission, we ask for “baby shower gifts” of items used in bird care at the Center.  Spring is our busiest season so we are in great need of items to offset increased expenses of caring for these young birds.

Top Ten Reasons to Attend

  1. A great family event for kids, though adults seem to enjoy themselves just as much!
  2. A day to celebrate Mother’s Day and spring!  Bring your mom, she will love it!
  3. Admission that day is free with a “baby gift”.
  4. Awesome prizes for Raffle!  Raffle items donated by Wild Birds Unlimited, Audubon, Gatorland and more!
  5. You can view more than 20 species of raptors in one day!
  6. You can participate in numerous enviro activities offered by groups including: The Orlando Science Center, Orange Audubon Society, Kissimmee Valley Audubon Society, Orange County Environmental Protection Department, South Florida Water Management District and Pine Lily the Osceola County native plant society.
  7. You can play games seen on TV (Minute to win it)!  Light as a Feather and Feed Me!  
  8. You can view non releasable baby raptors (if available).
  9. Get a caricature done by Audubon volunteer and artist Maria Bolton-Joubert.
  10. And the number ten reason to attend would be to support Audubon Center for Birds of Prey and bring your friends for a great day of fun!
