@deerty115269 Turkey vultures are not fun if they are startled though. I know some places fly them in displays, but probably not a good bird for a classroom setting
i actually have a question not a comment...I have a 2 month old haw k not sure what species and it seems to be having a problem stand on its legs mainly the left leg...is that normal because it is still young or should i be w orried? any response Vould be very helpfull . thanx
Certainly appreciate your sentiment concerning potential problems. The rule we follow is that if it can go wrong, it will. Therefore we stay on full alert to the risks.
With close to 30 years of working with a variety of raptors in these types of settings, we have established guidelines for both classroom settings, and bird behavior that have prevented the type of disaster you refer to. Your analogy of playing with dynamite does not fit. People who "play" with it will have explosions, but those who "work" with it are professionals and minimize risks. Thanks for your concern.
