Auburn University Raptor Center hosts Talons, Taps, & Trivia on Feb. 17

Fans of birds, brews and bites are invited to the Auburn University Raptor Center’s Talons, Taps, & Trivia event on Tuesday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. Sponsored by Auburn-Opelika Tourism, the event will be hosted by New Realm Brewery inside Hey Day Market.

The interactive event will include trivia and opportunities to meet the raptor center’s winged ambassadors. Raptor Specialist Katie Pnewski will quiz attendees on birds of prey, the War Eagle tradition and all things Auburn. Between trivia rounds, guests will enjoy close-up encounters with raptor ambassadors and learn about their stories.

The first of its kind, the event gives the community a unique opportunity to learn about the center’s work and connect with those who have a hand in rehabilitation, care and education.

“Our work doesn’t happen in isolation; it’s made possible by a community that cares deeply about wildlife and Auburn traditions,” Auburn University Raptor Center Director Robyn Miller said. “This event is a way to celebrate that connection, share the stories behind our birds and invite people to engage with conservation in a fun and utterly memorable way.”

A portion of New Realm Brewery’s proceeds during the event will directly support the care and conservation of the raptor ambassadors at the Auburn University Raptor Center.
