Thanks. Here are a few more:
Our red-billed toucan. She is old and has arthritis, so she is retired.
One of our six american white pelicans. I can only tell them apart in real life, so I don't know which one this is. There are three that we use in our summer shows. We separate them from the flock in the spring and move them to a closer pond. They are trained to come over to bird show at the beginning of each day and go back to their pond at the end of the day. In the winter, they are moved back to the big pond to be with the other three.
This is Nizhoni, our golden eagle. Her name is a native american word meaning 'beautiful'. She is one of two eagles in our show; the other is a bald eagle. Nizhoni is about as big as golden eagles get. She weighs about 14 lbs in the winter.
Another one of my favorites: this is our american crow. Corvids are considered to be the most intelligent of birds. They have been known to make and use tools in the wild, much like chimpanzees do. She's in horrible feather in this picture; she was in the middle of a molt. Unlike parrots, corvids tend to molt in patches, so they look terrible when they are molting.
This is our barred owl, Cypress.
And this is one of our swainson's hawks. This is a dark morph, not easily identifiable as a swainson's.
And, finally, the peregrine falcon we are getting next month. It's not the greatest picture. The only reason I have a picture at all is because my sister happens to work at the rehab we're getting him from and she sent me a picture. The reason he's all stripedy is because he is an immature bird.
