OOOOOOO! Just checked the link was working and Cheyenne.....I have held on my fist! As far away from my body and face as I could manage and for as short a time as I could get away with without looking like a total wimp, I admit. That is one hell of a bird!! As part of one of the flying displays they release the two eagles on the other side of the valley and allow them to do their own thing for a while, how long depends on the weather, before calling them in. This sight, about twenty minutes on the day, reduced my mother to tears ( that took about three minutes!) - I have never felt so proud of her! She had spent most of the morning complaining that the birds were all tethered and how could I - of all people- condone this place? She, and my father, are totally in love with the place now and it's principles. No bird does nothing - they either breed, raise chicks from endangered species or fly for their living.
Eight American Black vultures flying as a squadron, eleven kites at the same time, two Bald Eagles, a young African Fish Eagle, a Tawny Eagle.....the list goes on. Great place, the only place that I know of that I can see animals in cages and feel OK about it.
This site will also give you access to the falconers web ring so you should find something that can help from there.
