Where in Pretoria are they situated? I was in Pretoria in July and battled to find anywhere that had BOP. Eventually I found a raptor rehab centre near Lynnwood on the Bapsfontein road. They were quite helpful and although not for the public they took me round their facility. They even had a black kite which had been unable to migrate from RSA to Europe cos someone had clipped his wings.... They had loads of Spotted Eagle owls but they said it was the wrong time of the year to release as the other birds would be starting to get territorial and display and the newly released birds would be victimised. Another interesting thing they did there was rehab the birds onto live mice prey before release. There was also an injured grass owl (like a big barnowl, just darker) which is now very rare. It was a pleasure to see the work done there. Just don't have my diary here to give the name of the place. Kumben

I would welcome the opportunity to communicate with other falconers and breeders in Africa.
