Story
This magnificent Gyrfalcon was hatched and raised in captivity to be flown in falconry. She was trained and performed well for many years. However, in 2007 as she captured prey out west, a wild Golden Eagle grabbed her with both feet. Her owner managed to save her, but she sustained major internal damage from the eagle’s massive talons. She has regained her basic health, but despite many months of work she never regained her ability to fly well. She was donated to RCV in early 2009 as an education bird.
