Artist's Comments

This Falcon broke our hearts. He seemed so sad. He had a severe injury that has kept him from being released back into the wild. =(
This Raptor Center is amazing. They take wonderful care of the birds and reptiles there whilst educating the public about them.

it's so sad to see wild animals hurt and then captured, with injuries so severe that they can't go back :tears: but we had a falconess on the top of the skyscraper in the city centre, while my office was on 23rd floor, and peregrines are quite rare. it was interesting to learn that in this bird species females are bigger ;)
