Sage came to us from the World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis, Missouri, and was raised
in human care. She came to us when she was less than a year old. Like many
ferruginous hawks, Sage can be aggressive when defending her food or space,
particularly during the spring and early summer when birds are often “broody” and
molt their feathers. She is also particular about who handles her, only allowing a
handful of people to directly interact with her.
