It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…THINGS with WINGS! Come discover a whole new world of flight at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum this Family Day weekend!
The Canadian Raptor Conservancy will be demonstrating their live free-flying birds of prey show. Daily demonstrations at 10 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm include birds that are trained for free flight. As each bird is flying, the handler/interpreter provides educational commentary highlighting each of the bird’s unique appearance features and flight style. Note that the birds are not on display between shows.
