Monteen has been caring for orphaned and injured migratory birds (specializing in raptors) in the metro Atlanta, GA area since the early eighties. She has been using the non-releasable birds for educational purposes since 1988. The live birds have allowed her to educate and entertain numerous audiences such as civic organizations, nature centers, youth groups, state parks, schools and the Elderhostel programs associated with Kennesaw State University and Georgia Southwestern University in Americus, Ga.
