THUNDER BAY – The Thunderbird Wildlife Rescue is asking for donations to help care for the many birds of prey that come through its doors every year.
“I rehabilitate wild birds of prey, and there’s a lot of them that need help, they’re probably one of the most notable birds that people recognize, so when they’re found and injured, I’m happy to be able to be a resource to be able to get them help,” said owner Jenn Salo.
“If they can’t be helped, I’ve been in a position many times where the only thing that I could do is offer release through euthanization, putting them down, and I’m happy to be able to do that, because otherwise when these birds, these eagles are gravely injured, they can hang on for weeks in that condition.”
Currently, Thunderbird Wildlife Rescue has four raptors in care, an eagle with suspected broken metacarpals, a bald eagle with a broken wing, a peregrine with a broken right metacarpal and compromised wrist and a broad-winged hawk with a broken shoulder.
