Here’s a pretty cool custom pair of birds that came to me last year. A woman who rehabs called to see if I could take a hawk and a cardinal. Knowing I don’t do birds I asked a good friend who does. They agreed to give these immature birds a go because of the woman’s plans to use them to educate school students. They came out pretty dang good if ya ask me!
Birds like this require paperwork through DEC and special permits.
It’s not often you get to work with cool animals like these!
