<< Back Start Over

What's Next for #735? WCEP is discussing options. We may bring #735 back to Wisconsin. There we can maintain the isolation protocol, do more regular physical therapy, and give her more time to heal. It's still unclear if she'll get better, but everyone wants to give her a chance. Since she already learned the migration route south, she should have no trouble migrating in the future —if she's eventually released in Wisconsin. We're hopeful that eventually she'll recover. But if she doesn't, she will be welcomed into the captive population for her valuable genetics. Stay tuned — and keep your fingers crossed for #735! WHAT HAPPENED NEXT: In July 2008, #735 went to a new home to become a parent bird in the future. She will live at Audubon Species Survival Center in New Orleans, LA. The Eastern Migratory population was reduced by one with her departure. Photo: Anna Fasoli
