Wake Audubon hosts programs, open to the public, often free, throughout the year. You can see all the events on Wake Audubon’s calendar.
One upcoming event is a talk, The Comeback of Blue-Throated Macaws, on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 1 to 2 p.m., at SECU Daily Planet Theater, Nature Research Center, 121 West Jones Street, Raleigh, North Carolina.
This is a free event, with no RSVP required.
This is a special presentation with Dorothy Paterson, executive director for Bird Endowment.
Ms. Dorothy Paterson, the President & Executive Director of Bird Endowment, will join via Zoom to deliver “Twenty Years of Conservation Success: The Comeback of Blue-Throated Macaws” inside the SECU Daily Planet Theater.
Blue-Throated Macaws are a critically endangered parrot native exclusively to the Beni Savannas of north-central Bolivia. Only 300-500 individuals remain in the wild. Their severe decline is driven by habitat loss, the illegal pet trade, and the historic use of its feathers in traditional dances.
Another upcoming program is Veterinary Care for Wild and Exotic Animals at Zoos and as Pets on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, from 7:30 to 9 p.m., in the Fourth Floor Conference Room, Nature Research Center, NC Museum Natural Science, 121 West Jones Street, Raleigh, North Carolina.
Dr. Tara Harrison, Professor of Zoo and Exotic Animal Medicine at NC State University, will speak about veterinary care for wild and exotic animals both at zoos and as pets. Dr Harrison’s speciality is cancer in exotic and wild birds. All ages welcome.
This is a free event and no RSVP is required. The Museum is locked after 5 pm. There will be someone at the door to let you in. Use the door to the right of the big globe on Jones Street.
