Adoption Baskets

Are you looking for a special way to help give back to wildlife or a unique gift for someone? Instill the spirit of conservation with our Trumpeter Swan, Hawaiian Goose, and Lesser Flamingo adoption kits.
Each kit includes the following:

-         An Audubon stuffed goose, swan or flamingo that make natural sounds
-         An official adoption certificate
-         A fact sheet of the adopted bird
-         A 4X6 photo of the adoptee

Proceeds from the Trumpeter swan baskets will go towards the construction of the new swan exhibit, while the proceeds of the Flamingo and Hawaiian Goose baskets will go to the maintenance of their respective exhibits. Each kit was carefully assembled by the members of F.O.S.H. (Friends of Sylvan Heights).

Each kit costs $25 USD plus shipping.
