Nice he's doing so well! Thanks for all the great pics! One question though-what more does he have to do to "earn" his name?

I am not quite sure. I can ask him. But it has nothing to do with a negative behavior. Phung Luu is all about positive rewards. But he does withhold food until they do what he wants. He does not starve the birds. I saw that Legs was not behaving and he did not get food. It is absolutely essential that the bird responds to the food reward or it would die if it ever got out into the wild. At the demonstration the turkey vulture took off on its own. If the bird had not been trained that the food was waiting with Phung Luu it would have gone off on migration and not been able to survive. While we may not like the idea, it is survival for unreleasable birds. And the turkey vulture and Legs are unreleasable because of physical or mental problems.

We definitely have fledges. 10 Exchange reported a downed peregrine that later got up and flew back to 101 Hudson when folks tried to rescue it. So glad the area is aware of the peregrines again this year.
Mike and I named them, Buzz, Frank and Jackie for local Jerseyites.
