Native to North America, they typically nest high in tree cavities, between 10 and 30 feet off the ground.⁠ ⁠ Stardust’s journey is truly inspiring! He arrived at the Zoo as a rescue after suffering a broken limb. Thanks to our dedicated veterinary team, he underwent life-saving surgery that required the removal of the injured limb.
