My proclivity for crafting comes in handy when it's time to create enrichment items for the birds. Carson the Red-tailed Hawk loves ripping up newspaper, a natural behavior that mimics how she would rip at large prey items in the wild. But single pieces of newspaper "rope" don't last long. To make her work a little harder, I started tightly braiding newspapers together. These thicker ropes keep Carson entertained longer, and I get the fun job of cleaning up the confetti afterwards!
