Bebop is an American Kestral. Kestrals are also called killyhawks or sparrow hawks.
They are the smallest falcon. He came to us weak from metabolic bone disease.
Someone had tried to raise him feeding him only dry cat food. As kestrals need to gain most of the calcium and minerals they require in the first 6 weeks of life, his bones were very weak.
He was given extra calcium and now can stand well and fly, but cannot be released
because if he dove in the course of hunting and hit something, his bones would shatter
He is a program bird and goes to shows and schools to help educate others. |

This is a Grey Fox that came to us as a baby. We raised him with the
intention to release when he was old enough. therefore he was given
minimal contact with people. He was released to live free. |
