She's gorgeous....she knows you are helping her!🥰

This was awesome, Rat/Salmon treat, YUMMY! Questions, Can a captive Raptor be bred and raise young for release in the wild or does her injury prevent this?

Good question! In theory, a captive raptor could breed and raise young, but we are not a breeding facility and don’t have the equipment or permits for that kind of program.

I’ve been there a couple of summers ago: loved it. You do amazing work‼️🙏🏻💖

What a great video. Keep up the good work.

Precious!🦅

Manicure time!

How lucky to be able to work with such a beautiful animal, Sophie!

What a beautiful creature...looks like she's got a bit of sass too :)

Does she know you’re helping or think it’s just a weird interest of yours and a fair trade for rat-salmon?

Yep. So is a rhino’s horn.
