This little baby Sandhill Crane somehow got separated from its parents and had a leg injury. Today the baby crane was reunited with parents and has made a full recovery! 😊 #birds #floridawildlife #cranes #ornithology #rescue #BirdBehavior #nonprofit

Steve Hoddy of Earthquest put on an incredible program at this past weekend’s festival. This Renegade (hybrid Peregrine falcon) was free flighted during the show to demonstrate why falcons are the fastest animals on the planet! 🌎 #falcons #birdsofprey #birds #florida #birding

This is Snow, one of Zaksee Parrot Sanctuary’s rescue ambassadors. Snow is about 30 years old and is a great example of why researching an animal is so important before buying one. Unfortunately, Snow wears this purple collar to prevent feather plucking due to prior neglect.

Did you know that owls can’t swivel their eyes? This is why they are able to move their heads completely around in order to see what’s behind them! Owls also live on every continent except Antarctica. 🦉 #funfact #owls #BirdsOfPrey #science #nature
