One of my favorite booths at the HIghland Games here in the S.F. Bay Area is the Birds of Prey. They truely are magnificent creatures. I took my then 11 and 12 year old son and daughter to the Dunsmuir Highland Games in Oakland, CA last year. They were fascinated by the birds many of whom were resue birds either intentionally injured by humans or by human encroachment on their natural habitats (high tension wires, electrical towers, etc.). When they were told that one of the birds had been rescued after having been shot through the shoulder with an arrow by a hunter and although the injury had fully healed the damage was so severe that she would never be able to fly again, they became so upset about how "someone could so stupid and cruel to something so beautiful" that they were on the verge of tears and it took a long while for then to calm down.
