Rook's Biography
Rook was found injured in the forests outside of Missoula in 2014. She was brought to Wild Skies Raptor Center for rehabilitation. Upon arrival they found her left wing broken and calcified. After she recovered from her bout of starvation and malnutrition it was determined her left wing was permanently damaged and she could not be returned to the wild.
At Animal Wonders, Rook enjoys an enclosure designed for her special needs. She cannot fly but she still desires to perch up high, so she has branches set up to allow her to hop up onto higher perches. Her favorite thing to do is see how quickly she can find the food we hide all over her enclosure. She's so smart that she can solve puzzles and get to treats quicker than it takes us to hide the food in the first place.
Rook is still learning how to be a confident ambassador, but she's showing great improvements with each presentation.

Luka's Biography
Luka was found in the summer of 2019 stranded in someone's backyard unable to fly. They knew he needed help and thankfully they didn't try to care for him themselves, instead they immediately called Wild Skies Raptor Center who came to the rescue! Luka went into the recovery room for a few weeks in the hopes that he could be healed enough to return to the wild. Unfortunately, his right wing was severely broken and he was unable to regain his flight.
Luka is very talkative and goofy. During the day we can hear him calling to wild ravens and practicing human voices. He has bonded closely to Rook and now they are inseparable. Luka is in training to become an ambassador and hopefully soon he'll be out meeting audiences and showing off how amazing ravens are.
