01
Schools & classrooms
Age-appropriate lessons in adaptations, food webs, habitat, threats and wildlife stewardship.
Live-eagle conservation education
A symbol becomes a living lesson
Bringing eagle conservation to life.
Lions of the Sky helps students, families and communities understand Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles and the responsibility we share to protect them.
Our purpose
Wonder is the beginning. Stewardship is the goal.
A close encounter with an eagle can change the way a person understands wildlife. We use that moment to teach biology, ecology, natural history and practical conservation.
Audiences learn how eagles are built to survive, how they fit into healthy ecosystems, why some injured birds cannot return to the wild and what people can do to reduce threats to wild eagles.

What we do
Programs that connect people with the natural world.
Each presentation begins with an audience, a learning objective and a conservation message—not simply an animal appearance.

Community programs
Libraries, parks, museums, festivals and public gatherings built around eagle natural history.
03
Scouting, civic & service events
Programs connecting strength, responsibility and service with real eagle conservation.
In the community
Education happens where people already gather.
Schools, scouting programs, civic events and community gatherings create different opportunities to connect eagle biology with conservation.
What we have accomplished
A sustained record of care and public service.
The organization is built on experience in zoo-based eagle handling, community outreach, transport, husbandry, primary care and specialized glove training.
- Documented Bald and Golden Eagle work dating to 2007
- Approximately 45 eagle education programs per year since 2012
- More than 6,400 documented primary-caretaker hours
- Programs for schools, scouts, civic groups, military audiences and public events

Grow partnerships with libraries, parks, museums, fairs and conservation organizations.
Strengthen stewardship
Give audiences practical actions that protect eagles, prey species and habitat.
Ensure continuity
Maintain institutional care, records, funding and succession beyond any one person or event.
Meet the ambassadors
Freedom and Magondo.
A nonreleasable eagle can become an extraordinary teacher when presented with restraint, respect and a clear educational purpose.
Freedom, a Bald Eagle, and Magondo, a Golden Eagle, help audiences compare two iconic North American predators and understand the different landscapes, behaviors and conservation challenges each represents.
