00:00Hi, my name is Stacy. I'm an animal trainer here at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and today we're
00:09here at the Raptor Flight Safari. We're going to tell you all about these amazing birds.
00:19Our East African Crown Crane is Taji. She's a female crown crane and we've been working with
00:24her since she was just a little baby. In our Raptor Flight Safari, Taji gets to meet guests
00:30up close and personal. She's been here for many years and she loves to eat bugs. They're delicious.
00:40East African Crown Cranes have such long legs and big feet so that they can stir up waterways and get
00:49the edible vegetation and the bugs that they find there. Those big feet work just like paddles to stir
00:56up all of that mud and muck. She really likes to eat those bugs. They have these beautiful feathers on
01:03the tops of their heads that look an awful lot like hair and they got the name Crown Crane for
01:08that golden crest of feathers. But those are just modified feathers. They look really different up
01:15and they look really different up close.
01:17This is Hinkley. He's a milky eagle owl. They're an African species of owl. One of the largest species
01:30of owl on the planet. And he weighs a whopping three pounds. He's a very handsome fellow and he has a
01:39favorite thing in the world. You won't believe it. It's a rock. He loves this rock. He holds it with
01:45him at all times. So I brought it with him. He doesn't feel like holding it right now. Just
01:50just wanted to make sure that he was comfortable. These birds have silent flight. When they fly
01:55through the air, you won't hear a sound. They sneak right up on you. Now owls have a very unique look.
02:03You can tell an owl straight away just by looking right at their face. The shape of the feathers around
02:08their eyes is called the facial disc. It helps them to collect sound and directs that sound right back
02:15to their ears. So they can really hear what direction their prey is coming from. When they turn their
02:21head around, that gives them the opportunity to hear from all different directions as well. But of
02:28course, they can't turn their head all the way around. Just about three quarters of the way.
02:37An owl's eyes are huge. They take up three quarters of the space inside of his head. There's no room left
02:44for muscles to move them. That's why he turns his head so that he can see. Milky Eagle Owls are unique.
02:51They have a bare eyelid and that eyelid turns bright pink during breeding season. It's supposed to
02:57communicate that they're prepared to rear offspring. I think it's a good signal.
03:06At the Raptor Flight Safari, you'll get to hold a hawk right on your glove. You'll feel the breeze from his
03:13feathers right through your hair. His name is Spike and he's a Harris hawk. Harris hawks are unique
03:19because they're social. Most birds of prey are solitary. They're territorial. They keep all the
03:24resources for themselves. But Harris's hawks work together to take down a larger prey item than one
03:30bird could capture all alone. And they share that prey at the end of the day. They even have a nickname.
03:37They're called the wolves of the sky for their hunting techniques.
03:43We've provided you with these falconry gloves. That's what you need to wear when the hawk flies to
03:49you. You put the glove in front of you with your elbow bent. That way the hawk will land on the glove
03:55and not anywhere else. We'll place a small piece of food on your glove. You don't have to do a thing.
04:01Just stand still. Let the hawk land. And he takes care of all the work.
04:09Thanks for hanging out with us at the Raptor Flight Safari.
