off-site education animal
static display animal

This animal is: wild reared

Age: Adult

Reason for entering rehabilitation.:

She was caught on the Missouri River outside of Three Forks, MT. She was young when she was caught -- she was flying and out of the nest.

Days in care: 100

Issues developed while undergoing rehabilitation.:

Medical history (that we know of): For vaccinations, we’re not sure what she’s had done, unfortunately. I've been trying to find out if he had a vet he’d go to from his falconer buddies, but they're proving hard to get a hold of. A while back, she started getting dizzy and looking up, like her head was spinning. Her neck isn’t actually twisted. She’s gotten a lot better now, too — I think she only gets dizzy now and then and not nearly as severely.

Body condition score (5 point scale as defined on https://nagonline.net/3877/body-condition-scoring/): 3.5

Can the animal express species-typical behaviors (e.g. eat appropriate whole foods, climb, perch, groom, dig, fly, swim, ambulate normally for species)?:

Yes

Can the animal be handled without negative welfare affects?: yes

This is how the animal currently reacts when a frequent caregiver nears it (e.g. does it modify behavior, show signs of fear, agonism, habituation):

She's a little skittish. She's still pretty good with people, and I'm positive she'd be a good education bird with a little time to get used to humans other than my parents again.

This is how the animal currently reacts when a stranger nears it (e.g. does it modify behavior, show signs of fear, agonism, habituation):

Can be skittish.

This animal is currently house : alone

Will the animal need continuous medical care (e.g. medication)?: yes

Physical health welfare assessment: life worth living

Mental/emotional health welfare assessment: life worth living

More Information

My father was a master Falconer since before I was born. He recently passed away, but still had a peregrine as his falconry bird, Missy. In the midst of grieving, our family has also been trying since his death to find a good home for her.
