QUOTES
LORI: “Every single bird that comes into our clinic has a story to tell. “
LORI: “Raptors really are such amazing sentinels for what's happening in our environment...And so if we just listen to what they’re telling us, we can actually help people too. It’s...called the One Health Concept, where environmental health, human health, and animal health are all linked together.”
LORI: “...just like people... Every bird's a little bit different....And a lot of it is really based on their experiences. What has happened in their life before they've come to us...Everyone has had different experiences in their lives, just like people.”
