On May 13 to 15, the Biosphère, Environment Museum will be hosting the event Let’s hear it for the birds, a series of special activities on the world of birds and ornithology.
Fascinating birds of prey!
Learn all about birds of prey and admire some species on site, such as the Great Horned Owl.
With respect please!
Learn about the ethics of ornithology and adopt a proper etiquette for observation and photography of the winged fauna with talks by the Regroupement QuébecOiseaux.
Birds challenge you!
Put your knowledge to the test with games aimed at identifying different bird species and take part in a short geocaching circuit on endangered species.
Where do they hide?
Learn more about the Quebec Breeding Bird Atlas and become a volunteer observer!
Attracting birds at home
Visit the mini exhibition To each his Home! and learn to choose and install birdhouses designed for different local species.
A charming art installation of bird feeders made from upcycled materials and a “nature lounge” will be at the heart of a playful and colourful setting not to be missed!
