NEWS CLIP OF EXTREME RAPTORS (click) The real stars of the show are the birds themselves, charismatic creatures with saber curved beaks and talons that command respect and rivet attention. Although many of the flock have permanent handicaps barring their re-entry into the wild, these flaws are hard to detect. Some of the birds indeed faced euthanization at crowded wildlife centers across the country and have now been tamed and trained as charming ambassadors for their species and the environments they inhabit.

Afternoon sun on the birds is not only unhealthy for them but we must curtain them off for 2-3 hours making the display/exhibit less appealing to your public. We pride ourselves on having our display birds as close as possible to people..., and of course viewable during and in-between shows. Your cooperation and consideration in placing of our exhibit facing either North, South or East and avoiding the sun coming from the west will assure you our best possible results.
