Trail description

Les oiseaux

UQROP accueille une variété d'espèces d'oiseaux de proie natifs du Québec et d'Amérique du Nord. Chaque oiseau a une histoire unique — certains ont été frappés par des véhicules, d'autres blessés après des collisions avec des vitres ou des enchevêtrements. UQROP est transparent sur les raisons pour lesquelles ces oiseaux ne peuvent pas être relâchés en nature, ce qui rend la visite plus significative qu'une simple démonstration d'animaux.

NOTE: La composition exacte de la collection varie selon les saisons et les besoins de réhabilitation. Consultez UQROP directement pour connaître les espèces actuellement présentes.

Really cool place they make the bird fly over you and talk about them the essentials of what they eat where they are from great species are shown the price is also good 15$ for adult. It was nice to see the birds so close. The easy walking trails around the facility allow you to observe various rehabilitation enclosures. Located in Saint-Jude, this sanctuary offers an incredible up-close experience with raptors while supporting their conservation mission.

Very nice place! Very nice animators! Nice educational activity to do with the family! Very nice volunteers! For a great cause! Bravo! The easy accessibility of this Montérégie location makes it perfect for family outings. Though dogs aren't allowed (which makes sense around birds of prey), the educational programming is outstanding. The passionate team creates an engaging experience that teaches visitors about local wildlife conservation while supporting their important rehabilitation mission.

A really fun and educational tour. You can see some beautiful birds. The easy 2.5km trail through the sanctuary makes it perfect for families looking to learn about Quebec's native birds of prey. The minimal 40m elevation gain ensures everyone can comfortably explore the facility. At $15 for adults, it's great value for the educational experience and supporting the rehabilitation work they do with injured raptors.

Great experience at the park, very nice welcome, magical moment with the birds during the performance. You have to go there to encourage this beautiful mission, the teams give their all! The location at 875 Rang Salvail Sud provides easy access to this wonderful bird sanctuary. Despite the entrance fee, it's absolutely worth supporting this conservation effort. The dedicated volunteers create an unforgettable experience watching these magnificent birds of prey up close during their educational demonstrations.

After a few kilometers of road behind the highway, crossing the small bridge is the last barrier to find yourself in this park. The association takes care of the birds of prey found, injured. Some will be released in the nature, others will finish their life in this place of rest. The entrance fee allows to support the action of the passionate carers. The visit of the site and the explanations allow to learn to recognize these incredible birds living in the region of Quebec. Seeing them fly close to you is impressive. No more excuses for not knowing how to differentiate between owls and falcons. The easy 2.5km trail with minimal elevation makes it accessible for all ages to enjoy this educational wildlife experience.
