Kid Quest is a grass roots project. We follow our instincts as parents, experienced television producers and concerned citizens to produce content for which we feel extremely responsible.

Kid Quest presents real role models, not actors put in contrived situations. The youngsters we feature are honest, focused and passionate about what they do. They don’t follow the pack, but rather follow their inner voice making their dreams real. There are two big messages we want our audience to take away after viewing our shows: #1 – It’s okay to be different from the rest of the crowd, #2 – It’s important for everybody to find something to “jazz” them! Of course, one can’t help but to learn interesting facts watching our show, but we don’t bang viewers over the head with information. Instead, the goal of Kid Quest is to present a tapestry of possibilities with heaps of enthusiasm.

Talon Skye

Talon is an exceptional young person and new host of Kid Quest. Whether dogs, rabbits, horses or birds, she has been around animals ever since she can remember. When very young her best friend was a domesticated wolf, with whom she would pick berries. Perhaps Talon’s most amazing connection is with birds, birds of prey to be exact. At five months old she was taken on her first falconry outing and has never looked back. Talon’s first word was "Hoooo”, mimicking a Great Horned Owl she heard in the woods! Today at age 11, Talon and her mom Lorrie tour with their falcons, hawks and owls giving talks about these amazing birds and their important role in the environment.

Talon is currently in the process of forming "Talon's Skye" a non-profit organization, dedicated to getting kids and their families together through experiences in nature.
