[edit] Rehabilitation
As a birds-of-prey rehabilitation specialist, he and his wife, have returned over four hundred hawks, owls, falcons and corbies back into the wild.
His wildlife rehabilitation lead to a minor role in the creation of the digital FX for the giant eagles in the Lord of the Rings movies. He took digital photographs of a stuffed Golden Eagle he is looking after, as the owner--a local tribal elder--does not have space at the moment. These photographs, along with castings of the beak and talons, were sent to Weta Digital in New Zealand to provide texture mapping for the digital model for Gwahir and company.
