Here you will find endorsements which include two of our longest supporting customers. We have been part of the feeding program at Wild Wings going on 6 years now and we have been serving Cornell Raptors since we opened the new hatchery in 2006.
JOHN PARKS, MASTER FALCONER, NYSFA
"The Cornell Raptor Program has acquired day old chicks (DOCs) for feeding raptors from Westwind Farms for over 6 years and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and the product. Pete DeCloux and his staff not only place a high priority on biosecurity but also recognize the importance of providing a fresh product packaged in manageable quantities for rapid freezing and convenient storage. The chicks produced by Westwind Farms have a healthy, high quality appearance and provide a consistent diet for meeting nutritional needs of raptors and facilitating precise weight control. Over the past 6 years, we have fed hundreds of' thousands Westwind chicks to our collection of hawks, falcons, eagles, and owls with nothing but positive results. As a Master falconer for nearly 30 years, an active game-hawker, and a raptor breeder for over 20 years, I whole-heartedly endorse Westwind Farms as a reliable and much-appreciated supplier of quality chicks for feeding raptors."
TERRY KOZAKIEWICZ, DIRECTOR, WILD WINGS
"I am the Director of Wild Wings which is a facility for non-releasable birds of prey and one bobcat. At any given time we generally have 23-26 mouths to feed. Our raptors range from hawks, owls, vultures, falcons and eagles. Whole prey diet is the best possible diet for these animals and provides the best nutrition as well as keeping to a natural diet they would normally have if they were In the wild.
I have been picking up day old chicks from Pete at West Wind for the last 5 years to feed all the animals. The chicks are top notch-always clean, bagged and ready to be picked up as planned. The pricing Is fantastic and I know where they come from which is really important to me. Being a small not-for-profit, I also like the idea that I am supporting a local business person who works hard and is so pleasant and wonderful to deal with. I prefer not pay a high amount for chicks from out of state and then double the amount with shipping costs like some of the big companies charge.
Our vets and rehabbers deal with Pete as well and I know what they buy since I usually pick up the order for them when I make the trip. We have all been extremely pleased and would very highly recommend them to anyone. We are very fortunate they offer these chicks to us and are very fair and reliable people to work with."
