Our
Education Birds: Thunder |
As her name implies, Thunder is a spirited, patient, wary and independent raptor, quite fitting to be our national symbol of freedom and the American spirit. She has quite the attitude and seems proud of that fact. The females are considerably larger than the males. She has a seven foot wingspan and weighs 12 pounds. She is a very large wild bird, making her difficult to work with. While she can be quite difficult at times and her intelligence making it an even greater challenge, she is a pleasure to work with. |
