Eagle Fest 2010

Pierre Bradshaw

Eagle Fest is privileged to have great exhibitors each year from around the State of Texas.  This year is no exception. 

Last Chance Forever

Making their seventh appearance at Eagle Fest 2007 is Last Chance Forever from San Antonio.

L. C. F. is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and release of injured and orphaned raptors, birds of prey such as hawks, owls, eagles, falcons, and vultures. Since it's incorporation in 1978, Last Chance Forever has been responsible for treating thousands of birds of prey, including endangered species. Generally up to 80% of those cases received are released back to their natural home, the wild!

Although they are not the only conservation or environmental organization in the United States, they are part of a small group which actually gives service to the birds in the form of hospitalization, physical therapy and rehabilitation with their ultimate goal being the return of the raptor to its natural habitat. The conservancy provides a veterinary treatment center, flight recovery facilities, a full time staff and educational programs for the public, to aid the community in conserving the natural world. For many years Last Chance Forever has been contributing to the vital cause of conserving our wildlife heritage.

During Eagle Fest 2007 visitors are treated to a magnificent couple of shows demonstrating birds in flight.  Visitors see birds up close on the arms of their handlers.  Most of these birds are then released as the handlers direct them in flight to demonstrate many features and habits of each bird species.
