Such great experience & exposure
September 21, 2021by: D. W. - United StatesProgram: Belize Raptor Center InternshipI really enjoyed my time with the Belize online program. The instructors were great and the Raptor Rehabilitation center was so amazing. Dr. Amy took the time out of her day to present us with cases and the people who run the center gave me broader view on outreach, community, and involvement. Even though I wasn't able to be there in person they made us feel like we were there by taking us to the market and around the center. I was able to create a training program for my own Raptor which was a great training exercise for enrichment. I highly recommend. I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to go in person.
Amazing online experience
September 19, 2021by: Harunya Ravindran - United StatesProgram: Belize Raptor Center InternshipThe Belize raptor center internship taught me so much as an online program. The staff was very welcoming and kind and I learned and observed so much through this program. I learned about all raptors in the center including gunshot injuries, psychological issues, imprints, diet preparation, etc. Furthermore, I watched physical therapy, beak dremeling, and flight training on owls, hawk eagles, falcons, kites, vultures!
