Earthplace is home to an assortment of non-releasable wild and domestic animals, many of which act as species ambassadors.  Federal regulations prohibit the possession of migratory birds, eggs, feathers, nests or parts thereof, without special permits.  As an educational facility, Earthplace maintains the many permits to keep certain migratory birds, as well as reptiles, mammals and non-migratory birds, as part of a teaching collection.

 
Wild black and turkey vultures can often be seen near the outdoor bird cages or flying over the Museum building.
