Canadian Raptor Conservancy

The Canadian Raptor Conservancy is one of the largest captive breeding projects in the world. With over 200 captive-bred birds in their care, the Conservancy regularly breeds over 15 different species each year. Many are endangered species and some of their offspring are sent back into the wild through organized release projects around the world. All of the birds used for demonstrations are captive-bred.
