Testimonials for Feathers with Furr…
Our experience with Feathers With Furr was exceptional! Our students were engaged with the instructional portion of the program. They loved seeing the colorful pictures, hearing facts about common birds in our area, and getting their hands on a few bird artifacts. Once outside on the bird watching walk, they were so excited to find and listen for birds! Melanie is knowledgeable and experienced which enhanced the program for our curious learners! I cant wait to have her back next year! 1st Grade Teacher, Gwinnett County Public Schools
