Peregrine Falcon #14-1319 update
September 16, 2014

During the week of September 8, Peregrine Falcon #14-1319 finished the course of antibiotics for her eye injury. Blood work was drawn on September 11; the veterinary staff found that the falcon’s white blood cell count was low. Additional blood work was scheduled for Monday, September 15 to determine if any treatment was needed.

Results from the follow-up blood work revealed a higher white blood cell count, and the Peregrine Falcon’s eye was fully healed. The veterinarians gave clearance for education training to resume.

From the blog - October 8, 2014

Peregrine Falcon #14-1319 is doing very well with her training to be an education ambassador. Both Amanda and Raina continue to work with the bird every day; the Peregrine Falcon still spends time on the glove with both of her handlers, but also has started spending time in her new enclosure. The falcon appears to be relaxed with Raina and Amanda, steps up on the glove willingly when removed from her crate, and also readily flies about three or four feet to the glove from perches in her enclosure.

During the next week, the falcon will be transitioned to spending more time in her outdoor enclosure. Amanda has noted that this is one of the best birds she’s ever worked with; working with the falcon is the highlight of her day. Raina notes, “The PEFA is a quick learner and a very engaging bird. It’s clear that she’s comfortable around her handlers, so she relaxes in our presence. She rouses, preens and even takes baths in front of us. It’s a lot of fun working with and training this falcon – it’s a new and rewarding challenge.
