They, and all raptors in the United States that are protected with some pretty serious laws. I hold a Special Use/Educational Permit from the US Fish & Wildlife service to keep these birds. I am required to meet their minimum standards for training and experience, housing, and have to turn in reports regularly indicating how many education/conservation programs I have done with each bird, etc. At a minimum, I must do 12 programs with each bird on our permit. Most years I have that requiment fulfilled by the third week of January. Last year our non-profit did 177 programs!
I use up close to 25 hours a week for this organization and I still do not draw any reimbursement, we are all volunteer operated. You just have to come along on one school classroom visit and watch those kids' faces to understand why I do it.
That and the birdpoop tea. Mind you, it's not as good as BevanR's weasel poo coffee, right Iowabow???
Stringman:
