Join the WA Birds of Prey team for a fun school holiday activity to meet some birds up close and learn about the threats they are facing. Participants will also have the chance to become scientists for the afternoon as they dissect a "cast" (the undigestable parts of their food that are regurgitated) and discover what it can tell them about the bird and the ecoystem where it lives.
