Hunter loves sports and would be more than happy to attend your athletic event (no trash squawking, though).

School Events

Hunter can fly in to liven up any school event within Heartland's district.

Parades

Why fly when you can march? Contact us if you want Hunter to walk in your parade.

Community Events

Hunter enjoys getting out of his nest every now and again to meet his fans. We're happy to schedule Hunter for your next community event.

And more...
