Are you a current student at Chico State with studies concentrated in wild life and raptors? Or have you had experience with rehabilitating birds or have worked with raptors in the past? This opportunity maybe just for you! Our nature center has 2 rescued, non-releasable, raptors. We currently have one Western Screech Owl and one Red Tail Hawk. Our Raptor Team captain is looking for a dedicated and compassionate raptor team member to join their team. Duties will include feeding, cleaning cages and direct contact with raptors; handling, dutch hooding, exercising and program presentations. All potential candidates will be required to attend 3 separate training sessions before selection is made. If you are selected to join the team you will be required to fill out a Chico Area Recreation Department application and if you are over the age of 18 yrs will be required to have a background check. We hope to hear from you and have you as part of our team!
