The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art will be celebrating World Migratory Bird Day by hosting a talking on birds and their habits & habitats.

Aiming to connect children and adults alike with these beautiful creatures through this specially put-together workshop on 3D bird-making craft.

At the museum, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are a top priority and sharing knowledge and raising awareness is a key part of KNMA’s outreach programs.

The workshop is open to all, but seats are limited, and registration is required.

From 1:30-2:30 p.m., visitors can take a tour of the zoo's veterinary clinic and learn about the work done to rehabilitate birds of prey.

Many of the raptors, or birds of prey, that the zoo takes in are migratory birds and are only passing through, Zoo Curator Ashley Burdick notes. The zoo attempts to rehabilitate injured raptors in hopes that they can then be released into the wild. Those who can't sometimes take up permanent residence at the zoo.

Sunday afternoon, visitors can meet one of the zoo's very own migratory birds, a Mississippi kite named Penelope.
