Join Public Eye: Artists for Animals
Kids Club on our Bird Walk to celebrate International
Migratory Bird Day.

Date:
Saturday, May 9th
Thanks so much to those who attended our recent Bird
Walk at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. We saw
more than birds walking the trails, including rabbits,
groundhogs, wild turkeys, deer, and a baby snapping
turtle! For the art activity, kids made some bead necklaces
and bracelets for Mother's Day, as well as some "Sculpey" bird-shaped
charms that they baked later. See our slideshow shown
here.

Pack Is Back!” Public Eye: Artists for Animals
will perform songs from "The Unhuggables" with
singing rat puppets at 1pm. Please visit Public
Eye's table while you're there!
This
family-friendly event showcases domestic companion
rats including rat information and displays, funny
rat videos, a rat art show, rat adoptions, rat
raffle, a light hearted rat beauty pageant and
the A-Rat-Emmy Awards. There will also be booths
for other great animal welfare, rescue and adoption
groups with rescued cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea
pigs, hamsters, and birds.
