Feeding Frenzy at Northwest Trek

Rip, shred, devour.

Event activities are free with admission.

What’s your favorite food? For our golden eagles, it’s meatballs. For our wolves, it’s steak. And for our barn owl, it’s mice. Watch animals enjoy their favorite foods, tour the animal kitchen and catch keeper chats throughout the weekend.

Why do we do offer carcass feeds? It’s great for animal health to eat foods they’d come across naturally in the wild, and to use their claws, teeth and muscles to devour.

But it’s not just about carcasses. Our keepers get creative in presenting treats and enrichments for our animals to get them curious and encourage natural behaviors — like finding food and using their brains. Check in with our naturalists throughout the day for the chance to learn more about how our dedicated keepers care for the animals.
