Posted: 7/3/2010

Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Urgency: none
Condition: Good
Training: None
Permits: CDFG rehabilitation USFWS
Recommendations: Display
Comments: She had break of Ulna and Radius, came in badly infected. By the time infection was down bone had set wrong. Been to Davis, unable to release due to not being able to fly well enough, but she is flightable. I feel she would do well in an aviary less then the unlimited calls for, but more then limited caging calls for. After spending time with her I feel she is best for display, but it does not mean that after awhile with someone she would not calm down. After all...they are wild animals.

Urgency: Not urgent
Condition: Good
Training: None
Permits: CA F&G and USDA Exhibitor Class C
Recommendations: Would make a good exhibition animal for a zoo or onsite viewing facility.
Comments: He was most likely someone's disgarded pet. He is missing his right hand and appears to either have been born that way or it is an old injury. He loves to be out in the open day and night. Would be a good animal for viewing.He gravitates towards people when he hears them. He is not agressive and likes to be stroked but I have never tried handling him or feeding by hand.

Age: Any
Gender: U
Urgency: HIGH!!! We need this bird as soon as possible!
Condition: Flighted or unflighted - this bird would be on exhibit at the California Science Center then down the road switched to being an educational program animal.
Training: n/a 
Permits: We will have a CADFG Native Species Exhibiting Permit if we get your veterinarian to sign off.
Recommendations: On display at the California Science Center, later to become an educational program animal.

Comments: The California Science Center is about to open a $165 million expansion to its existing museum. This expansion aims to educate visitors about the science of ecology and will have live plants and animals in naturalistic environments. One of the exhibits will feature a GHO - but we have been having difficulty determining a source. We have a soft opening planned very soon, so if you have an owl that needs to go to a great home that will display him/her as an ambassador to the underserved downtown Los Angeles community, please contact me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Thanks very much.

Age: Any
Gender: U
Urgency: ASAP! We have an exhibit opening at the California Science Center VERY soon!
Condition: unknown
Training: unknown 
Permits: We will have a CADFG Native Species Exhibiting Permit if we get your veterinarian to sign off. We have already submitted for a Restricted Species Permit, but would need a Native Exhibiting if acquiring porcupine from rehabilitation center.
Recommendations: We will be exhibiting the porcupine in the new wing of the California Science Center, focused on teaching our guests about the science of ecology. Down the road, we may switch the porcupine from being an exhibit animal to an educational program animal.

Comments: The California Science Center Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that supports the mission of the California Science Center. We are VERY SOON opening a new $165 million wing to the museum called Ecosystems Exhibits, which focuses on teaching our guests about the science of ecology and will feature live plants and animals in naturalistic environments. One of the exhibits will have a North American porcupine, but we've been having great difficulty locating a source for this species. If you have a NA porcupine that needs a new home, please contact me as soon as possible. Thanks!
