2nd Annual Holiday Aviary Tours!

Don't miss this year's Holiday Aviary Tours, which will take place during the 3 weekends before Christmas. This is a chance for you and your family to come and wish all the birds at Wind Over Wings a Happy Holiday Season.

Once again this year, the aviaries will be adorned with a holiday tree and festive decorations. Children are invited to bring pine cones laced with peanut butter or suet to hang on the trees around Wind Over Wings. No reservations needed.

Tours this year are at the following times:

Tour donations this year are: Adults $7.00 Children over 2years $5.00

Proceeds are used to feed the birds over the winter season

Volunteers Needed! Because we expect a record number of visitors this year for our Holiday Aviary Tours, we invite you to make a gift to Wind Over Wings by volunteering with us for one of the six tour afternoons. Help is needed to greet guests, guide guests around the aviaries, and serve refreshments.

Regular volunteers will be also be on hand every day.

If interested, please call Wind Over Wings, at (860) 669-4004, and leave a message.

A one-hour orientation for aviary tour volunteers will be held prior to December 8th. New volunteers are asked to attend an orientation on Sunday, November 25th, from 2:00pm - 3:00pm; OR Sunday, December 2nd, from 2:00pm - 3:00pm.
