🔺 Our Mission 🔺
Founded in 1997 in Cedar City Utah, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and education.

_Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release_
The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (SWF) cares for more than 100 sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife annually. Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal.

_Informing, Educating and Inspiring_
The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy.

_Martin Tyner_
Since age twelve, with a bird on his arm, Martin has captivated audiences sharing his knowledge and experience of his wildlife friends.

At age nineteen, Martin was hired as curator of birds of prey at Busch Gardens, CA. He also worked in the movie and television industry training big cats, elephants, primates, sea mammals and raptors.

“One of my greatest childhood fantasies was the desire to create a personal friendship with a wild eagle. I found myself with a love and fascination for these powerful creatures.”

Martin Tyner is a federally licensed falconer, eagle falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, wildlife propagator, and wildlife and environmental educator.

He has been providing wildlife and environmental programs throughout the western United States, to schools, scouts and community groups for over fifty years.

“Grandpa believed in a very simple philosophy; that a person should get up every morning and do good. Doing good means that you do well for others and doing well means that you do good for yourself. There is nothing wrong with doing well, but Grandpa always believed in doing good.”

Martin’s book, Healer of Angels, reflects back on his life: from a young boy terrified of birds to becoming the first man in North America licensed to train a wild golden eagle in the ancient art of falconry.

Through a heartwarming collection of true stories he describes his challenging transformation from a shy dyslexic teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.

  1. They were so hungry when you first got them. And under your care, they grew to be beautiful grown falcons. What a treat to witness this! Thanks for sharing their story.

  2. If you wanted to, could you change their instinctive behavior of bonking since you’re giving each one equal amounts of food? And if you were to “discipline” the bonker wouldn’t that change that behavior??

  4. Warming my heart. Kestrels have always been one of my favorite birds and seeing these little guys grow up and fly away brought a smile to me. Especially when I learned a couple of days ago an adorable female Kestrel I knew at the rescue I used to volunteer at passed away suddenly. 5 new Kestrels free in the world. ❤

  7. I always love watching Martin pick out the exact spot that he wants to release the birds at. It's fun to watch.! He has a definite area he wants to release them in. Size of the bird doesn't really matter but the location of where he's releasing them does 😁

  8. That person that faithfully sends that check, u know they are literally budgeting in their donation every month. That means alot. What a beautiful thing. Could be someone on social security or anything. Thats beautiful. Ty for thanking them publicly.

  9. I can't help thinking the babies would be more comfortable/less afraid if they had something at least part of the way around that glass tank to cut off the sight of movement all around them. More like the limited enclosed space in the nest. When I'm raising baby birds I try to get a close as possible to what they would be experiencing with a mother. Like hanging a feather duster over a box of chicks so they can hide in the feathers like they would with a hen. It seems to help. But whatever works and what do I know.

  10. People can be insensitive I am glad you were somehow or ever able rescue these precious little ones. I have no doubt Sue and you will give these chicks every chance to thrive . I Love you guys so much.

  11. Hey I’m from India and I’ve rescued a changeable hawk eagle. I love your videos and learn from them a lot. In India where falconry now is illegal we dont get much help as falconers in order to train our birds or have proper vets and supplements. Recently I’ve rescued a changeable hawk eagle who was kept in a small cage. When I got it, I thought I’m going to train then release it back to the wild. But she’s having broken feathers and some behavioural issues I can’t get right. If possible I would love to have a talk with you about my bird. I really want to get this bird right. I am looking for your help as an animal lover. If possible I would appreciate your whatsaap/ snapchat or somewhere we can talk in person. Looking forward to your help. And a big thanks for all your videos that helped many of us.
