Animal Enclosure and Enrichment Fund

Thank you for supporting the Animal Enclosure and Enrichment Fund. Your donations directly improve the well-being of all of our ambassadors, enabling us to add mosquito netting, maintain enclosure cleanliness with thorough deep cleans, and provide new enrichment materials. Recent volunteer groups from local schools, companies, and organizations have donated their time to help maintain our enclosures and create enrichment.

Edgar, our Common Raven heavily relies on enrichment. Common Ravens are brilliant birds whose intelligence is comparable to that of a human toddler. Enrichment, such as food hidden in puzzles, sounds, and ropes, is all around his enclosure. This enrichment allows Edgar to be challenged and stimulate his brain by solving physical puzzles, tearing paper and ropes, and interacting with objects that make different sounds. Edgar currently has the oldest enclosure on our site. We make upgrades where possible, such as adding new gravel to his floor and replacing perches, but he is due for a new enclosure. With your help, we can continue to provide enrichment and upgrade enclosures for all of our Wildlife Ambassadors, including Edgar!
