Whistles Down the Wind

Brought to us an orphan, Whistles-Down-the-Wind was so named because of his especially wild nature. He has developed into a gorgeous adult with incredible hunting skills, wily and patient, luring hapless magpies into his living space by leaving bits of his food in bird’s eye view. He continues to warm up to his handlers, accepting treats from their hands and observing them curiously at the face of his enclosure. Although he does occasionally attempt to test the boundaries of those who care for him, he plays sweetly with his sister, Tender—at least when he’s not trying to dominate her (which she refuses to accept).
