repeat of my post of the Derby Peregrine blog


@ Karen and all, not to keen ending up in a avairy at a centre. For one she is a wild bird with an inbuilt fear of man, and it appears of late to be with good reason. She needs handling and manning everyday by some one who understands Peregrines inside out, Plus I believe now 100% she will have some abilty to fly free, and if this is the case, I for one would like her to have her freedom if only for a short period each day.Plus the more she users her wing the more movement it will keep and help to keep arthritis in future years. At the moment she is bright eyed in good health and I guess as comforable as can be expected, as i am writing she is enjoying a bath. She travels well in my van which is fitted out to carry falcons, as she spends as much time as possible with me. So I guess she could visit places of education and let children and adults see one in the flesh and up close up. But all this is way in the future, my first goal is to get her flying free. She at the very least deserves a chance to fly free with air under her wings and the breeze in her face. On another note it might be known to a few I breed peregrines. When I registered 010 as myself as her keeper I decided that she could not be used for any commericial gain like breeding from her or making any money from her in any way. I do hope that in the future many of her admirers can see her, for she is very special. The only thing in my eyes that hangs over her, and i don't think there is a problem is the shot in her gut, if she gets all clear at the vets on monday. She has a future :)
