I said, “Yes, I can handle them.” Well, we have to sex them. And the veterinarian is perfectly willing to sex them, but he’s afraid to try and catch them and handle them. A lammergeier is a great big vulture like bird. So I left the meeting and they provided a limousine to drive me up to the big aviaries where they were preparing to release these birds and where we had to sex them. And so I caught six lammergeier by hand, and the veterinarian did an excellent job of sexing them. And it turned out that it was a good thing I did because we had too many males. But anyway, the project went on from there. That was an operation I’d heard nothing about at the time, but they’re underway and the birds are coming back.
