Bird Encounters That Inspire & Educate!
Our Mission and Purpose
Wild Bird Adventures (WBA) delivers exemplary educational programs, presentations and unique experiences that inspire the conservation and stewardship of birds and their wild places.
We provide a home and habitat to birds that can no longer live in the wild. These raptors are education ambassadors that inspire an appreciation of the natural world and support an environmentally informed citizenry.
Mary Anne and Trey Morris believe in the restorative power of the natural world for both mental and physical well-being and deliver programs to support these beliefs. Their shared photography provides an intimate look at the natural world for all to enjoy and learn about.
WBA programs are unique in their ability to offer up close experiences with birds of prey for all ages and abilities. All programs align with state and federal education standards and are tailored to the audience.
