Yesterday, we completed our latest Bald Eagle mission! 🦅🦅
This eagle is a young eaglet who was found in Cat Lake in Northern Ontario, unable to fly. She was flown in to @thunderbirdwildlife from there and found to have no injuries but displayed symptoms of West Nile virus. Because she was separated from her parents, she didn’t get the education a young eagle needs, so she was flown by us to @theowlfoundation to be with other young eagles and learn some stuff and be released in the spring 🌲🌲🌲
Huge thanks to our Pilot Gerd, who spent his entire Saturday flying across the province. The second picture is of him helping take care of an owl while rescue staff changed the eagles' crates 😄 Kudos and appreciation to Thunderbird Rescue and The Owl Foundation for their amazing work with raptors in need 👏 😀
Another mission in the books!
Our pilot Amy flew two Sphynx Cats, Pidgeon and T-Pau, from Praires Sphynx Rescue to their new homes in Fort McMurray 😀 Despite weather delays, she made sure the animals' comfort was her top priority 🐾👏
Huge kudos to the rescues,volunteers, and concerned people involved in this story. Best wishes to our furless friends as they start their new life with their new family 🏡😊
Our pilot Amy Johnson is gearing up to fly our two furless friends from Saskatoon to their new home in Fort McMurray 😀 Both cats are en route to the airport with all their belongings.
T minus 30 minutes ⌛️⌛️ Here's hoping the weather stays good 🌞
In partnership with our good friends at @theowlfoundation we'll soon be transporting an injured Bald Eagle from Thunder Bay to St. Catherines, ON.
This eagle was presented to Thunder Bird Rescue, and is now going to The Owl Foundation for further rehabilitation.
Check in later this week for more updates! 🦅🦅🦅
