Birds of prey

At the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody, Wyoming they have a number of birds of prey who have been rescued and cannot be released into the wild. These birds are part of an educational program for those who visit the museum. The Raptor Experience is an interesting program.

The peregrine falcon, Hayabusa, was ready for a snack.

He began eating a small bird while the trainer talked about the birds.

This is a video of the peregrine eating his bird.

The other bird was Suli, a turkey vulture. Suli was larger than the peregrine and was dining on a rat.

All of the birds at the Draper Museum Raptor Experience have their own individual Facebook pages, click the link above and scroll down to find them. You can also donate to help defray the cost of their care.
