Round aviary reshapes rehabilitation for birds of prey
Submitted by Chickowee on 10 Sep 2014.
While hunting, a peregrine falcon stoops at around 300km/h.
"If everything [in their makeup] is not absolutely perfect, they can't maintain those speeds, they can't maintain their hunting rates and they die," Peggy McDonald says.
Meeting the specific needs of raptors is a challenge she loves.
She's been rehabilitating and releasing birds of prey for more than 20 years and considers it a privilege to be so close to birds that are usually seen from kilometres away.
