Description
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY WITH GREAT EXPERIENCE! Please note this is a complete volunteer experience that requires a project fee (see below) and applicant must acquire transport to Belize.
As an intern you will work daily with our none releasable avian ambassadors and will develop skills in positive reinforcement training and learn how to create a training program for a new ambassador.
Interns will learn husbandry, how to create enrichment for ambassadors and much more. At BRC we do a lot of community conservation outreach and offer 14 onsite bird show programs each week. As well as go offsite throughout the country doing presentations in the schools.
As rehab cases come in you will be taught triage and have the opportunity to work with our onsite vet learning xray techniques, blood draws, chemistry, wound treatment and much more.
This project fee covers accommodations (room and board in our onsite intern house. All in-country transport while in Belize (except for days off). The experience is a resume builder for avian work, and is much less expensive than a typical study abroad experience.
Please contact us with any questions you may have and lets get you training birds in a beautiful Caribbean country!
