Not nearly enough threads about birds! (warning, tons of pictures)

I used to want to be a falconer before I started working at the rescue. After seeing the things man has inadvertently and sometimes on purpose done to these wonderful creatures, I changed my mind about keeping one in a cage in my back yard and keeping it hungry so it would hunt for my amusement. These birds are too precious to be in captivity if they're fit to fly, IMO.

I have never heard of someone starving there hawks/falcons to hunt? It just makes for sick birds! I don't know why anyone would want to.

I love the Owls. Around my part of the country, we barely see them. I love your finches too

Annie is gorgeous! I adore hawks.

Nice collection you've got going there... I'd love to have birds, they have such big personalities! I just have a pretty severe allergy to them...

Wow. Black palm toos? Those two are yours? Nice! I got to meet a couple of those guys at the national aviary and they were pretty neat.

I also have some videos at www.youtube.com/kachinabetta. Got a few of my pets, then some video taken at the rehab barn if anyone's interested.

Awesome flock you have there Shaders! They are all beautiful too! I think that's the second Maximilian's Pionus I've ever seen... I also love all the volunteer pics... give Annie a mouse for me!
