I am going to add this to our Bucket List, but I agree with you about their confines. I would love to see each one in their own habitat and not in cages.

We are fortunate to have the Bald Eagles winter on the Mississippi River at Clarksville MO. and West Alton MO. Both within 30 miles of our home in Dardenne Prairie, they range quite a ways from their feeding & nesting areas on the river. I was surprised to see a very large female Bald sitting on the fence along the interstate ( 70) which is a very busy highway just watching the traffic go by,This was about 24 miles from the river. Be safe out there.

I understand it is necessary at times but I still don't care to see that. Same as a circus or rodeo. Just do not like having to see animals living or treated like that.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-34262320690273546112010-10-02T23:34:07.117-05:002010-10-02T23:34:07.117-05:00Wonderful post from the World Center place. Those...Wonderful post from the World Center place. Those birds are amazing, especially the condor. Thanks for that info on why they don't have feathers on their heads. Of course I didn't know that.<br /><br />Funny story: When I was a teacher's aide back in the early 90's we had a school assembly where a guy brought in some birds of prey. He was full of great information and really had the students attention. He decided to let one of the birds fly from his perch on the stage across the room to land on something (can't remember now). Anyway, as the bird flew across the room he let off some urine or bird poop right on the principal. Boy, did the kids howl with that one. The principal wasn't too amused as it messed up her hair-do. :)Margie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310100815284895284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-14835331221227079072010-10-02T22:43:48.980-05:002010-10-02T22:43:48.980-05:00I'm glad you got to go.

But the education the birds provide for individuals less knowledgable about our avian friends than you is beyond measure.

I have been fortunate enough to see, but not photograph, both the Peregrine and Gryfalcons in their natural habitat. And we get many bald eagles around our farm in spring and fall as they migrate through.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.com
