Shumla is an incredibly beautiful, and rare, Gyr Falcon. Shumla came to Birds in Flight in August 2008, from California. Caring for these beautiful animals is not only time consuming but expensive. Shumla’s caretakers could no longer provide sanctuary for her special needs. Shumla has severe cataracts in both of her eyes. Shumla’s vision is distorted and she becomes confused at sudden movements. With the help of Birds in Flight veterinarian we are developing a treatment plan the help Shumla. Surgery is an option, but we are waiting to evaluate the risk factors. She is making the Sanctuary her new home with ease. Shumla has adjusted wonderfully, with a lot of tender-loving-care. She may even be seen in public programs by next spring. She has made great friends with Sir Nicholas, a merlin falcon, and they have long screeching conversations together. Shumla’s eye condition will soon be evaluated again. We will keep you updated on her progress.
