Super Bowl Day!! Did you know, for nearly a decade, Challenger educated Eagles fans about bald eagles with his pre-game flights over Lincoln Financial Field. Though Challenger retired from such flights in 2019, we have not forgotten all that the Eagles have done to support Challenger, AEF, and conservation. Challenger still flys in his aviary with his handlers for great exercise! #sunday #sundayfunday #superbowlsunday #SuperBowl #philadelphia #philadelphiaeagles #eagles #eaglesnation #birdfreaks #birdsofprey #birdsoftiktok #birdsarentreal #animalambassador #animallovers #protect #conserve #educate #conservation #bird

March 1st means Poe the raven is gearing up for March Madness! For everyone new here, Poe will make his very own bracket picks this month! Who do you think Poe will pick to go all the way? He plays basketball for great exercise and enrichment. Ravens and other corvids are observed to be playful animals in the wild. They can be seen playing with various objects like sticks, rocks, etc. They also slide down roof tops and play chase with mammals. #raven #ravens #corvid #corvids #edgarallanpoe #rescue #wildlife #wildlifeconservation #funfact #factoftheday #intelligence #bird #birds #birdsoftiktok #birdtok #birdsarentreal #birdsarenotreal #basketball #march #MarchMadness #ncaa #bball #ncaabasketball #conserve #educate #protect

Cujo the black vulture working on her puzzle feeder. This is great enrichment to keep for mind stimulated and encouraging natural behaviors such as foraging. She is non-releasable due to being a human imprint. She also makes great ASMR 😂 #bird #birds #vulture #vultureculture #birdsarentreal #birdsoftiktok #birdtok #rescue #conserve #protect #educate #conservation #wildlife #asmr #asmreating #asmrfood

Majesty is our queen bee as one of our largest eagles here at AEF. Females are larger than males in most bird of prey species. Here she does some flights between handlers for great exercise. We hope you find her slow motion flight as beautiful as we do! #eagle #eagles #baldeagle #baldeagles #bird #birds #birdsarentreal #birdsarenotreal #slowmo #slowmotion #birdsofprey #birdsoftiktok #birdtok #funfacts #wildlife #conservation #conserve #educate #protect

Everest the Golden Eagle struttin his way on over to a snack. He was rescued after contracting west nile virus and treated at a rehabilitation center. He was then transferred to a falconer for flight and hunting training. Everest showed no interest in flying and did not respond to live prey. This deemed him non-releasable to the wild. He then became an educational ambassador with AEF. #eagle #goldeneagle #bird #birds #birdsarentreal #birdsarenotreal #rescue #rehabilitation #educate #protect #conserve #conservation #wildlife #birdtok #birdsoftiktok

Our birds enjoy various enrichment items. Some of those are the fun treat hiding toys made for dogs. An extra snack was hidden inside the alligator toy for 42522 (not officially name yet) to find! #bird #birds #baldeagle #eagle #birdsoftiktok #birdtok #birdsofprey #birdsarentreal #bonita #enrichment #conserve #educate #protect

Who said work dance parties weren't a thing? At AEF we like to have a little fun sometimes while working. When we're not having dance parties, we are working on chores. Morning chores vary from: sweeping, mopping, cleaning bird aviaries, and diet prep. #wildliferehab #wildliferescue #birds #birdsoftiktok #birdsofprey #birdtok #saturday #saturdayvibes #work #CleanTok #cleaning #aef #protect #educate #conserve #animalsoftiktok

Tecumseh showing us his smooth moves and how birds shake out their feathers to rearrange them and remove dirt. This is also known as a rouse. #birds #bird #eagle #birdsarentreal #birdsarenotreal #goldeneagle #wildlife #conservation #conserve #educate #protect #birdsofprey #NextLevelDish #michaelbublé
Peregrine falcons reach their top speed when diving to catch smaller bird species right out of the air! Meet Petunia! She’s a 4 year old non-releasable peregrine falcon. She flegded from her nest too early and injuried her wing. The injury caused her to lose some flight capabilities. She now resides at AEF as an educational ambassador. Follow her Instagram for more at petuniatheperegrine. #bird #birds #falcon #peregrinefalcon #birdsofprey #birdsoftiktok #birdtok #birdsarentreal #birdsarenotreal #rescue #conservation #wildlife #conserve #educate #protect
