Office Web site, Blog Page, Telephone, Postage, Office, Newsletter, ink and paper...on and on. Coturnix Quail 800 each year at $2.52 a piece, the sole diet for the falcons. They love them, feathers, bones and all. Eastern Fox Squirrels: 300 to 400 each year from a trapper in Missoula. They serve as food for the eagles, a non-native and destructive pest whose numbers have been getting out of hand. Mice: The resident raptors consume about 8,000 lab mice a year of different sizes, ages and colors. Donated and purchased. Raptor Round-Up Newsletter: Three times a year, printing 250 to mail out and on the web site in living color. Freezer Space: Up to a dozen boxes of chickens, squirrels, mice and meat stored at a local freezer locker as well as two smaller freezers running non-stop at our facilities. Enclosure Maintenance: Year round costs include predator-proofing, perches, bathing pools and feeding stations. At Raptors of the Rockies, the bird's comfort, health, and safety is our primary concern. Daily care: 365 days a year we procure and butcher food, feed and water our birds, keep things tidy and, above all, keep an eye on the bird's health. Insurance: We are required to have insurance in order to allow birds of prey in the classroom, and Workers Comp considers us a "poultry producer" with a big premium. Mileage: 8,000 driving miles last year on our "raptor-mobile," Subaru number 6! Top
