West Winnipeg - 2018 / A Death in the Family - Beatrix (2011-2018)

Heh..well the only falcon I rescued that was that calm was one that rolled in some manure in someone's garden prior to my finding her ::) I expect she was having a laugh at me gagging from the smell as I carried her inside to put in the carrier. ;)
Kathy certainly handled Bea well, she's very good at her job.

--- Quote from: carly on December 02, 2016, 17:26 ---Thank you for the update TPC. I sure hope she can be free again, she looks really good from what we saw of her in the video though admittedly a bit docile compared to what I would have expected. I noticed in the video when she was in the flight cage she seemed to be looking for a way out so that's a good sign, non? ???

Don't know when the flight cage shots were taken, could well have been from the first time she made it into the news. I'm not sure that docile is exactly how I would have described it - that looking up at the person who's holding you is just what the chicks and injured birds do when we handle them - like they don't trust you not to drop them! It would also help that Kathy is familiar with holding her, often that helps to keep birds a wee bit calmer particularly in unfamiliar locations.

Thank you to everyone that made it possible to bring her home :) :-*
The Peregrine Chick:
Yup, Beatrix is back in Manitoba. Took forever to get all the permits in place and it seemed like every time we got past one obstacle another one would unexpectedly crop up. The Canadian import permits were relatively painless and quick but the USFWS export permit took forever. So after 6 months the last of the paperwork arrived on Tuesday and it was in Texas on Wednesday so that it could accompany Beatrix was on the plane Thursday. And now she's here.
Beatrix has had her first vet visit and she'll be heading back again next week. She's not however out of the woods I'm afraid. So keep your fingers crossed everyone.
GCG:
Carly, you have absolutely made my day with this wonderful news. Thank you so much for sharing with me/us. Welcome home, Beatrix! ;D ;D
