Birds of Prey in North America

Great Argus said:
Thanks! I had heard Swallow-tailed Kites didn't tend to adjust well to captivity, so they were very rarely kept. Whether that's true I'm not sure, but I had looked up Swallow-tailed Kites in captivity before and hadn't found much that time or when I put together this list.

No problem!

Also my research is, for the moment, done. Turns out there are at least 4 holders in the US!

World Bird Sanctuary has an imprinted female named Eclipse, St. Augustine has a rehab female named Cricket, The Center for Birds of Prey has yet another rehab female, and Flamingo Gardens in Florida has at least two, possibly more, and they're all rehab birds

Not too sure about that as I only what I remember having seen at different Mexican institutions, quite a number of years ago too.

But honestly it wouldn't suprise me if they did have that species of vulture as it really is a bit of a "stamp collection" in terms of what they have.

There are some really curious creatures kept there that are not all that common in other zoos (bonobos, striped hyenas, pygmy hippos, african wild dogs etc).
 
I don't know if I'm late for this thread, but I would just like to point out for many native birds (bald eagles, red tailed hawks, ect.) It might be very hard to locate every facility that holds them. Many state parks, nature centers, and rescue centers permanently hold native raptors rescued from the wild.
 
Potter Park has King vultures, and Toledo has a Black vulture as well.

Xcaret in Cancun also has King vultures and Golden eagles.
 
Indianapolis just replaced it Turkey Vulture with a Bald Eagle and a Golden Eagle. They no longer exhibit Turkey Vulture.
