That’s awesome! I have one about 10 minutes from me, but it’s only open twice a year. They have all kinds of owls, hawks, foxes, possums, beavers, and random other things. I always try to go to check out who all is new.
It looked like these guys have some kestrels and merlins and also bald and golden eagles, so you’ll get to see the tiny ones and huge ones. If you’ve never seen an eagle up close before, it is very impressive. Peregrines are also very cool. They look like little rockets. They’re the fastest animal in the world.
If you do go, make sure to put up some pictures here! It’d be nice if people actually got inspired by some of these posts. I always try to find ones people can actually visit. It takes a bit of work to find a good place that actually has decent pics and info. Many are really small and can’t afford those kinds of extras.
You should be able to learn a lot from the handlers and maybe find some love for some new animals. Vultures are highly underrated and fascinating creatures. Their bodies are very purpose built and most of their strange looks are for sanitary reasons, given their role in the ecosystem.
I’m rambling now cuz you have me excited for you, so I hope you go, bring a friend, tell others, share pics, etc!
