Frozen vs Live Feeding
Frozen feeding is commonly used in falconry and raptor care. Many keepers prefer frozen-thawed prey because it is safer and easier to manage.
Safety for the Bird
Live prey can injure birds during feeding. Frozen prey removes this risk and allows the keeper to control feeding more safely.
Hygiene and Disease Control
Frozen prey reduces the risk of parasites or disease compared to live prey.
Convenience for Keepers
Frozen feeders can be stored in freezers and thawed when required, making feeding much easier.
Ethical Feeding
Frozen feeding avoids unnecessary suffering and is widely accepted in professional bird of prey care.
