Captain America
Captain America was found as a fledgling with soft tissue wounds at an airport hangar in Marshall County, Alabama. He was brought to a local veterinarian before being transferred to our center’s rehabilitation department. Upon his admission, it was evident that he had imprinted on people, making him non-releasable. After a couple months of further evaluation and once his wounds had fully healed, he was transferred over to our education department to be an ambassador for his species.
