Great question! Our volunteers aren't (for the most part) falconers themselves, and are more familiar with clicker training than traditional falconry methods.
+FDLE4ren6 That's correct! Scarlett was brought to us with broken bones in her right wing. We were able to realign them and get them to heal well enough for her to be comfortable and fly for short distances, but unfortunately not well enough to be able to catch prey in the wild. She now has a lifelong home with us as an educational bird. lsu.edu/vetmed/veterinary_hospital/services/wildlife_hospital/resident_raptors.php
Just wondering, why didn't you use the more traditional falconry methods of training?

Was this a non release bird..?
