We operate our facility based on donations from caring people who, for one reason or another, aren’t in the position to be rehabbers themselves, but are interested in and dedicated to the preservation and protection of raptors.

We also do off site programs for schools, nature centers, scouts, birthday parties, public displays, etc.  This is done on a fee basis. Please call for details!

Hacking for hawk rescue or owl rehabilitation.

Hacking is an old falconry technique that is literally, thousands of years old. Hacking (AKA soft release) is how we re-introduced the Golden Eagle back to the Cumberland Plateau in northwest Georgia, the American Bald eagle to the Lake Allatoona area north of Atlanta and the Peregrine Falcon in downtown Atlanta.  We can help you with this procedure or provide it as a service.
For more information, see our blog post on Hacking Orphaned Hawks and Owls.

YAY!!!! I'm glad I got to meet him! Sometimes you can just tell what's going on. Maybe yesterday he decided to be social because he was going to say goodbye and move on with them. They were DETERMINED to get that baby!

My theory was that they had lost their baby and just by chance they have been watching him at Monteen's. They saw no vultures raising him and their pair bond and parenting instinct was so strong, they were driven to surrogate this one. They absolutely had no fear yesterday. They WANTED that baby. I am led to wonder if chickless adults will surrogate an orphan in the wild if they can find it in time. This baby was so sweet and adorable, I wanted to carry him around like a duck. Someone needs to document Monteen's whole experience with this one to the point he leaves with the new parents and write a children's book to remove the perceived ickyness from vultures. He's just a baby just like any other baby bird and has an evolutionary job to do in the environment. He didn't get to choose what he is.

Monteen, I have known what you do and have done for at least 30 years. I have witnessed firsthand the love you have for owls and hawks and the trust they have in you. You are an amazing human being and an incredible person for the birds that have been a part of your life. This baby will always be special to you and will never forget the kindness you have shown to him.

I hope they adopt him. I bet they lost their baby and will surrogate him right in.

Why I don't have a husband?
