Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal. 🔹 Informing, Educating and Inspiring 🔹 The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy. 🔹 Martin Tyner 🔹 Since age twelve, with a bird on his arm, Martin has captivated audiences sharing his knowledge and experience of his wildlife friends. At age nineteen, Martin was hired as curator of birds of prey at Busch Gardens, CA. He also worked in the movie and television industry training big cats, elephants, primates, sea mammals and raptors. “One of my greatest childhood fantasies was the desire to create a personal friendship with a wild eagle. I found myself with a love and fascination for these powerful creatures.” Martin Tyner is a federally licensed falconer, eagle falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, wildlife propagator, and wildlife and environmental educator. He has been providing wildlife and environmental programs throughout the western United States, to schools, scouts and community groups for over fifty years. “Grandpa believed in a very simple philosophy; that a person should get up every morning and do good. Doing good means that you do well for others and doing well means that you do good for yourself. There is nothing wrong with doing well, but Grandpa always believed in doing good.” Martin's book, Healer of Angels, reflects back on his life: from a young boy terrified of birds to becoming the first man in North America licensed to train a wild golden eagle in the ancient art of falconry. Through a heartwarming collection of true stories he describes his challenging transformation from a shy dyslexic teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.

[@randomvids5883]

A year ago me and my dad were driving on a country road, when we saw an injured great horned owl in the ditch. I’ve watched your videos for a long time and am working on getting my falconers license. I’ve had some experience working with birds of prey at falconry meets so I somewhat new how to handle them. We tried to call wildlife rescues in our area to come get him but no one was answering the phone. I went to the side of the road and threw my jacket over the owl to catch it, then held it the way you did in this video. I brought him back to the car and held him the whole ride home. He was fighting slightly which I knew was good sign because at least he had the energy to try to get away, he also tried to fly away when I was catching him but he couldn’t get far off the ground. On the ride home I looked at his wing and noticed underneath his wing some flesh had torn off and the wound had rotted. When I brought him home I put him in a plastic dog crate. Then I called some falconers I knew to ask if they knew any wildlife rehabbers we could bring him to. They gave us the number of this place an hour away, we called them but they wouldn’t be open til the next day. So he spent the night with us and in the morning we drove him to the rehabbed and I held him the whole hour there. We handed him over to the rehabbers and about three months later I got an email that said they were able to rehabilitate him and release him back into the wild.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! This is fantastic news. I'm so glad you were able to help him. I'm so glad you were able to learn how to help from watching our videos and loved that he recovered and was able to be released! Good Job, it does my heart good to hear this!

[@basstian]

Marvellous.

[@bonniepoole1095]

Gorgeous animals and excellent release!! Wonderful! My chest will never stop soaring when I see them fly free!

If they ask what is the best and most beautiful thing a human being does in the world, I would say to heal injured birds and release them back to nature as you have done. Have a good day, thank you.💙🌄🦅

He is a sweetheart of an owl. He has loving badass eyes. I just love him.❤❤❤❤

[@Tina-qp7py]

The owl's eyes are magnificent. Last year I was walking along a natural pathway near a nature center, turned a corner and there was a Coopers hawk on a branch about a foot away. He looked at me, I stared at him and then he flew away. His eyes were beautiful too.

[@openclassics]

The first owl looks at you like "okok all fun and great but... release me noooow!" 😂

[@stevevanzandt1655]

Love what you're doing at the center. "Great horned owls have the sharpest talons in the world". Do you have the citation?

[@jewelssylva3738]

💜

[@cyleeman]

You mentioned their great eye sight at night & their stealth flight that even prey with great hearing can't hear them coming. I am mostly through the video & haven't heard you mention their great great hearing. At night in winter they don't need to see their prey to catch them if they are under the snow or underground they can pinpoint their prey exactly with just their hearing. Owls are in the top 5 for best hearing in the world if not #1.

[@susantyner4525]

You are absolutely right about their great hearing, even enabling them to pinpoint their prey exactly under the snow! Thank you for bringing that up.

[@cyleeman]

@@susantyner4525 no worries. Owls are the perfect bird of prey they have everything. The USA Navy & Airforce studied the owl extensively before building their first stealth bomber.

[@maotisjan]

It's never over till it's over, by that I mean: As long as the animal is alive there's a hope it will survive

[@shereesmazik5030]

When you hold the owl in your arms. , why don’t they turn their heads and bite your chest ?

[@cainster]

Fear, also once you grasp their talons, they have a sort of submission instinct. also they're not being held tightly, just enough to keep the feet. The most dangerous part of their anatomy.

Ah yes, the acid yellow of the Great Horned Owl...now, if those eyes had been orange..that'd be it's cousin, the European Eagle Owl....both big birds!

[@isabelniki9789]

I think its great, but all that crowd with their cameras and noise should be farther away 🙄

[@MaxResDefault2600]

Is it possible to release owls like this if they were purchased as pets? They're commonly sold as pets here but I kind of wonder if they'd do ok in the wild (lots of open space here and no other owls, so it seems like a good environment for one).

Have you guys ever had to rescue a mountain lion or a bobcat?

[@liviut.7919]

[@susantyner4525]

No rescued mountain lions or bobcats yet. Rescued and released a couple of gray fox kits this year. Birds of prey are Martin's specialty, but we rescue all native species of wild birds, small mammals, and even reptiles. Released a great basin gopher snake in our yard yesterday. It had been caught in a sticky mouse trap and thank goodness the person who found it got it to us in time. Another video for another day.

[@kristamorgan9178]

Wouldn't they be best released at night, being nocturnal? Beautiful area
