    🔺 Our Mission 🔺
    Founded in 1997 in Cedar City Utah, we are a 501c3 non-profit
    organization dedicated to wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and education.
    🔹Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release 🔹
    The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (SWF) cares for more than 100
    sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife annually. 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.

    Something I always loved hearing about: The reason why many animals like laying on humans. It's our heartbeat. Our hearts beat a lot slower than most other animals and this has a calming on many of them. There's also the general warmth which many others do like too.
    Just seeing a falcon lying on top of you and around the chest just reminded me of that.

    I flew an Anatum Peregrine when I was 14yrs old in 1966. It had been shot by a duck hunter and I inherited the bird with a wing injury. It healed and we hunted together for 3 years when it developed stiffness and soreness in the wing. I was given a Tiercel Prairie Falcon like you have there in return for putting my Peregrine into a breeding program in Oregon. Greatest years of my life!

    I rescued a pigeon from a falcon about 10 years ago. Brought her home and
    thought if she lasted the night she would be alright. She survived and she was
    banded and I got in touch with her owner. She was I think 4 months old and was
    a long way from home where I found her. But come to find out her daddy was a
    National Homing Pigeon Champion. I learned a lot from this owner and he gave
    me a book by Michael Landon who was big into homing pigeons.

      hi lady .a question you rescued from a falcon? meaning you took it from a falcon while it was about to eat it?. let me tell you a bit of something. you are not supposed to take birds a wild falcon just hunted. another thing you might not know is. those pigeon fancies many of them as....olds pardon my French, like to decimate the raptor population around their areas where they fly their falcon food. so dont do nature any favors plz if that is the case.

    Hi Piper , what a beatiful bird you have there, Martin.
    My fav bird always has been the Peregrine Hawk , bc I grew up watching them in my hometown when I was a kid , since then it has been my favourite bird , I listened about the Prairie Hawk but never saw one , at least that I remember and I'm glad you posted this video bc now I know how they look and I'm really impressed by their beauty, Piper seems to be a sweetheart and I wish him the best and a long relationship to both of you .

I knew that you no longer had the first Piper but I never knew what happened, that’s so sad. Is that normal behavior for the females to kill the males? Have you thought of trying to breed some again? Thanks for showing us your new falcon!😊

Good Luck and enjoy your special time with your beautiful falcon.
