Correct. This was a horrible experience that is traumatic to anyone who sees it, let alone has to actually experience it. We humanely put the bird down immediately.

The bird was put down immediately after we took this video. Use it the next time YOU need to convince someone of the horrors of lead in the environment. A picture IS worth a thousand words in this controversy. Many hunters just don't get it. The people who steadfastly insist on manufacturing and selling the stuff don't get it. You need to speak out. We speak to thousands of people every year about it. Thank you for caring.

How else will people understand the severity of WHY it was dying? And they DID immediately afterwards. Now go take your kids BB guns away.

Not sure what you mean. They were placed with surrogate Screech Owl parents, raised and released.

I doubt he was saveable at this point, it's probably gone into his bloodstream and he would likely die regardless of what you did to stop it.

That this bird was suffering so made us furious. We posted this so that people would see how horrible lead poisoning is. We get flack every time we try to impress upon some people the need to ban lead bullets and just talking about it doesn't strike home as well as actually seeing what we have to see. So now I just say, "if you don't get why lead should be banned, I'll show you why. " We put the bird down immediately after filming this.

​@@threeriversaviancenter9177Unfortunately, the same people now bitching are the ones who pay no attention to warnings. Maybe this will drive it home, but I doubt it. People ( most) are apathetic to too much anymore.

they are forceps not scissors

@@JohnDoe-xu2vx pointed forceps - forgive me. Glad they were fed and cared for nonetheless.

Unfortunately, yes. Lead poisoning is a brutal death. We put this birds down immediately. It was hard on everyone here.

oh im so sorry that you guys had to go through that sending prayers to yall !! @@threeriversaviancenter9177

Human Imprints cannot be released into the wild. The have transferred all the instincts ( such as territorial and mating) to humans. They are often rejected or killed by their own kind because their behaviors are screwed up.

Did you not watch the video from the beginning? She explained it

Unfortunately, yes.

Yes indeed. Help us DO something about it.

He sure didn't help by reversing the ban.

And boom, you immediately took focus off this poor bird to turn it into your own agenda. Nice ( if you're just another blind sheep being easily sidetracked from the fact that ALL politicians are the SAME) .

Thanks Beth. The release went picture perfect. The melody behind it is an excerpt from a ridiculously long piece I wrote back in 1991 about the logging of old growth trees in Kumbrabow State Forest. The passage "The Forest at Peace" is the only mellow part of that 15 minute rant. You can hear it at ronaldperrone.com/ttide.html Scroll down to "Remember Kumbrabow". The very ending music is a little ditty I wrote as a teenager called "Butler Creek". Its on ronaldperrone.com/allthemusic.html I put it down the page under "Stuff From My Attic".

Most birds are blind on birth. Hence why mom has to make noise each bite or touch their beak with it.

We buy them. They arrive frozen and go into the freezer for use as we need them.

It's very light weight
