Where can I find a hands on experience with wild birds like owls or hawks in Ohio?

Question by TSAscreener: Where can I find a hands on experience with wild birds like owls or hawks in Ohio?
I am trying to find a unique gift for a friend. They love birding and I thought a hands on experience would be a really cool gift.Maybe something along the lines of a keeper of the day program or just a close up hands on experience. I am also willing to travel to Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, or lower Michigan. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have great holiday.

You could talk with wildlife rehabbers in your area and see if they would need some help for a day or so. Many of them have many birds of prey. Where I work we have Hawks, owls, falcons, pigeons, starlings, and many other birds. Usually volunteers are welcome. If not there maybe call the zoo and see if they have any programs. Good luck.

Does Cypress Mulch attract birds?

A relative used cypress mulch this year and is suddenly having trouble with birds eating/digging up her flowers. Any ideas to keep the birds away? Tried pinwheels, fake owls and mothballs already, didn’t work.
