I had the same thought.

We are going to see how she does in the flight cages in Texas which will tell us if there is a need for a long recuperation. What I can tell you is that she has decided that she doesn't want to be the calm little darling anymore, with is a good sign that she is raring to get going! If she were to need a long recuperation then we would certainly consider rehabbing her up here as that will give us time to put together all the federal and international permits required to transport her across state, provincial and international borders. But before we get to Plan J, lets see how she does in the flight cage for a few days - she's only been there for a day and a bit after close to 10 days in a small unit inside the hospital itself.

GCG:
TPC, is it possible she can be brought home and placed at the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre until she can be released?
Kinderchick:
That's what I was thinking, TPC. Certainly don't want to see a territorial dispute, where one or both of these females gets injured. Especially not after all that Beatrix has gone through.

Now she needs to spend a bit of time in a flight cage getting her wings under her. The folks at the Rogers Wildlife Rehab Centre are very pleased and encouraged that she will soon be ready to come home soon.

This is such good news!
If she is flown back to Winnipeg, will she be placed in her old West Winnipeg nest box, TPC?
I'm thinking not since it could be quite the conundrum, with Faith hanging out there. :-\

Not sure what we will be doing for Beatrix's release - will need to see how she does in the flight cage in Texas - make sure she's strong enough. One thing I can say is that we won't be returning her directly to the nestbox, not with Faith there, but probably not even if Faith wasn't there. Unlike the chicks who we try to get back to Mom and Dad after they've been injured, we need to give Beatrix the opportunity to get her wings under her and let her come in at her own speed. Last thing we want is to facilitate either Faith or Beatrix being injured over a territorial dispute. May happen whatever we do, but we don't need to help them do it. At this point, we are all in a holding pattern - Beatrix, Faith and the Project.
