Title: Links To Videos of Canadian Peregrine Foundation at The Toronto Motorcycle Show Post by: BIGFRANK on 16-Dec-09, 06:07:22 AM This past weekend I was at the Motorcycle Show with CPF showing our educational birds,answering show goers questions and raising a few bucks for the foundation. We use larger gatherings like this to raise public awareness. We always draw a crowd.These are a few videos I put together of the weekend.
The CPF feathered educators on Friday http://tinypic.com/r/1zxrz8l/6 Oscar the Peregrine takes a bath. http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=1javsw&s=6 Feeding video viewer discretion is advised. http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=24g60ck&s=6 Dec.13th Final Show Day feathered educators including Shamus the Barn Owl http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=68u7o8&s=6 I hope everyone enjoys these. We had a great time at the show.

He was at the show,and is in at least the opening day video for sure. He did very well at the 2 shows he has done and is a wonderful addition to the educational team.

He really was cute with his blankie & toys! Title: Re: Links To Videos of Canadian Peregrine Foundation at The Toronto Motorcycle Show Post by: BIGFRANK on 16-Dec-09, 09:40:36 AM Nova was received from a breeding facility..the breeding facility in Wainright Alberta Canada which was responsible for the captive breeding program for birds released to the wild back when Peregrine conservation started. Recently CPF lost their grande dame of their education program Qtesh. She was over 20 years old. She had been in the Wainright facility as one of the breeding birds who produced many young for release. She was retired to CPF some years ago. When they heard of Qtesh's passing,they offered us a new Peregrine to "take her place". Nova was that bird. He was born(I always say that...hatched of course) in captivity and we accepted him happily. He was acclimated to people and is now a full and valuable member of our feathered educational team.

It's sad that you lost Qtesh-always sad to lose a matriarch like her! But I'm glad Nova was available to carry on her work!
