Raptors - Volume 4 in the Faunacap Series on The Capture Handling and Restraint of Animals

Raptors:

is a program filmed and written by wildlife professionals to provide information for personnel who specialize in working with birds of prey, either in a captive or research environment. It's packed with information on best practice methods used in the capture, handling and restraint of these birds.

Descriptions are provided for various types of traps that are often used when collecting research data. Equipment such as Bow-net, Bal-chatri and Swedish Goss-hawk traps are discussed and trap placement, and set-up information describes what to look for during the placement of the trap. Safe and successful trap use requires knowledge and experience.

Other chapters cover safe handling techniques and equipment, measuring and weighing methods, Making and using Jesses, and some basic maintenance procedures.

This program is essential reference material for anybody involved in the capture and keeping of birds of prey, and makes ideal training material for zoo staff, wildlife professionals and volunteers. This programme would be a valuable addition to libraries in tertiary education facilities that teach animal handling training zoo-keepers or veterinary staff.

This program comes with a comprehensive manual in PDF format.
