Im so excited !

[IrishRonin]

Ok so I know this has nothing to do with frogs but I have to tell someone who might be as excited as I am. A rehabilitation center just called me at work and offered me 2 new raptors!!!!! One is a year and half male great horned owl and the second is a year and half female kestrel. I'm going to go pick them up tonight after work, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

Wow Robin! How fortunate.
You are going to be very busy !
Is there a chance they could be released someday ?
They are both such beautiful birds. Good luck with them.

How are they feeding at this point in their re-hab.
Any injuries?
I'm so curious, sorry.

Yes ! please share some photos.

That's awesome Trever!!!! Raptors are really cool!!

[Heatheranne]

Awe! They are beautiful!!! It's wonderful of you to adopt them.

[UncleChester]

Wowzers. Unfortunate they can't be rehabilitated. Good for you for giving them a home though.

Have you ever taken care of raptors before? They seem daunting, especially something as powerful as a great horned owl.

BEAUTIFUL! I love those owl eyes!

Brian- I do falconry, so I have quite a bit of experience with raptors of all sorts. Last year I raise and released 2 GHO, 2 redtailed hawks, a barn owl and a coppers hawk. Raptors are so much fun to be around plus how could I say no to those faces. Thanks for looking guys/girls ill post more later

That's awesome. Even though this is a frog forum, don't be shy about posting pictures of your new or your former charges so we can live vicariously through you.

Well that is why I shared this with all of you, I thought you might like them. If you haven't seen her already theres a picture of my barn owl "yue" in my albums and beyond that I promise I'll share any new ones I come across.

***UPDATE*** so Archimedes (my great horned) and I have been invited to take part in a lecture at Loma Linda University on nocturnal animals. So I've had to put him threw an accelerated glove training program, needless to say he's not all that into it. What I would take months to do, I'm doing in 2 weeks. Wish me luck guys and girls o

I wish you luck !
Could you, possibly, let me know how things go ?
I'm sure you know---how fortunate you are to be in the company of these birds!

Well Lynn I absolutely do know how lucky I am, but thanks. I promise to keep you all updated as it goes. Idono if I'm more excited about bringing Archimedes or the fact that the head of herpetology department will be doing the lecture with me. Can't wait to pick his brain
