Two Cooper's hawks, one 2nd or 3rd year and one older, both with wing injuries. Would be great as static display birds. The younger one has the potential to be glove trained. We also have a Barred owl with wing and eye injuries, otherwise healthy; again, best suited for static display (we already have 3 education Barred owl ambassadors.

More Information

The 2 Cooper's hawks are healthy birds except for the wing injuries and would do well in a static display environment. The younger one does have potential to be glove trained. The 2 hawks live together and get along great. We already have 2 education ambassador Cooper's hawks so trying to find a permanent home for these two.

The Barred owl has come a long way and is at optimum health but has a left eye and right wing issue. Would do well in a static display environment. Healthy otherwise. We already have 3 education Barred owl ambassadors (one is 20 years old) and would like to see this owl find a good home.
