Iowa Tribe Opens One Of A Kind Bald Eagle Aviary
Author: KOTV News On 6 Source: KOTV News On 6 (OK)
Title: IOWA TRIBE OPENS ONE OF A KIND BALD EAGLE AVIARY
In 2001, News on 6 anchor Scott Thompson visited a flight cage in Zuni, New Mexico, where the Zuni Indian tribe is caring for injured eagles and hawks that would have otherwise been put to death.
Until Thursday, that Zuni Aviary was the only one like it in the United States. Now, there are two.
The newest, inspired a News on 6 story, opened Thursday in Perkins in Lincoln County. It belongs to the Iowa Tribe.
A nameless bald eagle is the first bird to call the Iowa flight cage home. It's a special day, for a very special project. Injured, non-releasable raptors like eagles, hawks and owls will be kept here and the feathers they molt will be used by the tribe for their religious and ceremonial value.

I am sure there are a number of such facilities that take care of birds- along with other animals. They just don't specialize as much. As this seems to be for Eagles only. The good thing is there is one more.
Hopefully now the birds will get good care in return for the precious feathers collected.
