SEEKING THE TURTLE DOVE

An experiential wildlife adventure for families with young children. We are guided by a singer on a trail of magical discoveries of this beautiful bird. A puppet show of the doves’ courtship accompanied by harp leads to children feeding newly hatched chicks. Later preparing for migration to Africa we make kite puppets in a workshop and learn how to hide from dangers and fly when safe. After the long journey we are greeted by flocks of turtle doves perched in the trees and celebrate by singing and drumming an African song. Parents/guardians require tickets for this workshop/performance and are encouraged to participate.
