Have you ever wondered why we use falconry hoods? These specialized hoods play a crucial role in keeping our patients calm and relaxed during their time in the clinic. By covering their eyes, we reduce sensory intake. A well-designed falconry hood fits snugly, ensuring it doesn't disturb the bird, while allowing proper air circulation and avoiding contact with their eyes, feathers, or breathing. It's all about ensuring their comfort and well-being. #RaptorCare #DidYouKnow #FalconryHoods

Meet Little Foot, an adult Bald Eagle, and our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center. Unfortunately, Little Foot was caught in a leg trap in Juneau, Alaska, but thanks to the swift action of concerned individuals, this majestic bird is now under our care. Currently, Little Foot is in our ICU as we work to assess and address her injuries. While it may take some time, we're optimistic about Little Foot's recovery journey. #BaldEagle #BirdRescue #WildlifeRehabilitation

Here at the Alaska Raptor Center, we often use the terms "residents" and "patients" when talking about the birds in our care. But what's the difference between the two? #WildlifeConservation #animalrescue #wildlifeeducation
