00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:03.680
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:06.799
in this time now for our community
connection right here on K one, the

3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:11.800
one you trust, and it's being
brought to you by Tall Grass Motors and

4
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.679
Arnold Moore and Knee Camp at Funeral
Home. Today we're gonna let it go

5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.000
to the birds. And this is
in a good way too, because these

6
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.160
people take care of our birds.
We have Daniel in here with who seems

7
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:28.239
an education program manager with the sut
Navy and Research Center. We got wild

8
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.719
bru coming up, Yeah, we
sure do. Wild Brus coming up and

9
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.479
just around the corner this coming Saturday, the twenty sixth, So if you

10
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:39.200
hadn't got your tickets, it's really
time to step on that ball. But

11
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:46.719
it's gonna be a great time.
Wild Brew is the original craft brewery and

12
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.039
food tasting event in Tulsa, just
about an hour southeast here in Bartlesville at

13
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.079
the Cox Convention Center. We're gonna
have a couple hundred different bruize available for

14
00:00:55.119 --> 00:01:00.679
you, lots of lots of great
smells and tastes and foods, and most

15
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.880
importantly, you're gonna come out and
meet some of our birds, some of

16
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.959
our education birds from the Sutton Center
are going to be on site now,

17
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.239
Daniel, when we were talking in
the green room, and folks, we

18
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.920
really don't have a green room.
We just say that so we can kind

19
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:17.400
of like pretend we're on real tv
U. That you've got like three birds

20
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.719
maybe more that you take out to
the different schools or two different education programs

21
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.319
that right right there on your arm, and they're really pretty cool. Tell

22
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.079
us about the big owl you have. Yeah, absolutely, we got a

23
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.920
half a dozen birds out there.
If some of them are definitely more charismatic

24
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:34.719
than others. If you've been out
to our center, you've probably met cricket.

25
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:41.519
Crickets are great horned owls, one
of the biggest owls in North America

26
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.400
you're gonna see. And uh and
we've got them right here, right here

27
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.239
in Bartlesville. And uh and he
does great, just kind of hangs out,

28
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.120
spins ahead a little bit because how
you like me? Now? Yep,

29
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.120
Absolutely, he's a character. He's
got lots of personality and makes all

30
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.599
those chirps and hoots and hells and
well not hows, but they you know,

31
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.680
it makes all the typical Alinoises there, you go, nothing out of

32
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:09.280
the ordinary there now tell us about
the big red hawk. Oh yeah,

33
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.199
So Artemis. Artemis is our red
tailed hawk. She's a female, and

34
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.719
she's loves to come out to schools
and events. She's one of my favorite

35
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:21.439
birds to work with. And uh
and like I said, she's going to

36
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.039
be with us out there at wild
Brew. But if you don't catch us

37
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.960
there, I'm out in the community. I'm I'm at your schools, I'm

38
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:34.000
I'm at your stuff like that.
Yeah, if we get regular invitations.

39
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.360
Uh. And I love bringing her
out because she's, like I said,

40
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.199
just such an amazing raptor. Oh
man, goodness shakes. And then you've

41
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.120
got this great, big golden pheasant. We do we do. So we

42
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:51.199
have a golden pheasant. Her name's
Turbo. It's very fast, and Turbo

43
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.199
does flight displays for us, very
non threatening as you can imagine. The

44
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:00.199
hawk is big and has those sharp
talents, but Turbos the all the other

45
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.919
end of the spectrum, and it's
very soft and gentle. And so I

46
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.000
can come to the younger kids and
classrooms and introduce them and get to show

47
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.159
them characteristics of our birds and about
flight and nature. And in a way

48
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.840
that's very very easy to write.
To Despite the name, I understand Turbo

49
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:21.520
is just so cool around kids.
She often enjoys being petted by it.

50
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.680
Yep, yep. If you're really
nice and slow and calm, then we

51
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:29.960
do little displays where they'll walk along
the class the tables and you can literally

52
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.400
be inchous from this bird and if
you're real nice, you might get a

53
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.639
petter back. But always ask permission
first. Yeah, that's yeah, it's

54
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.240
the rule of film there. You
kid to keep your thumb too. But

55
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.960
you know, but we're talking about
the Sutton Avian Research Center in wild Brew.

56
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:50.000
That's the fun part. But the
real nuts and bolts of what goes

57
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.360
on at the Suttin Avian Center is
that you say, birds that are virtually

58
00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:00.120
on the edge of extinction, and
the story of the American eagle is just

59
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.840
legendary. Here we saved it right
here in Bartlesville. That's it's a It's

60
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:10.159
absolutely what we're most well known for. The whole idea with the Sutton Center

61
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:15.199
is finding cooperative conservation solutions. That
means cooperating with anybody that wants to save

62
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.680
birds in natural habitats. The eagle
story is an amazing one because we effectively

63
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.680
lost the eagle in Oklahoma. We
didn't have native nesting eagles for some time

64
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.680
and it's people. People decided we
wanted to do something about that, so

65
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.800
we worked with other agencies other states
and brought eagles back. We went from

66
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:38.480
having zero nesting pairs in Oklahoma now
there's over three hundred nesting pairs that it's

67
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:44.279
just blows my mind. You can't
imagine in Oklahoma Waterway without an eagle in

68
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.519
that vicinity. And it's because of
work that was done right here in Bartlesville,

69
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.720
which is absolutely amazing. It is, it truly is. And now

70
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.240
we've got what the masked Bob white
that we're working with right we do,

71
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.199
we do. We've got two species
that we're working with right now, kind

72
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.800
of same situation, birds that have
really had impacts in their natural environments that

73
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.560
have caused them to struggle and we
want to fix that. So the masked

74
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:10.519
Bob white is a bob white quail, not too dissimilar from your northern bobwhite

75
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.639
that people know in this area.
If you might be familiar those northern bobweight,

76
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:16.959
same kind of story where we're seeing
a decline. We're not seeing as

77
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.160
many of those as we used to
but the mass bob whites are the ones

78
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.120
that are on the brink of extinction. People actually thought they were they were

79
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.160
gone. We had years where nobody
could find one in the wild, and

80
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.720
now we have a third of the
world's population here helping to bring the species

81
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:36.319
back from from extinction. I remember
being a child in the sixties. You

82
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:42.199
know, you could hear the bob
white whistling oh yeah, the job or

83
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.839
all the time, and then about
the time I would probably get close to

84
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.439
twenty, it's like, where did
that bird go? Yep? Absolutely,

85
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.199
yeah, they just kind of well, hey, so we're nice to bring

86
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.959
them back. Yep. And it
all comes down to habitat if people taking

87
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.800
care of the properties that they own
and and and making sure that it's a

88
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.160
habitable situation for these birds, they
can absolutely thrive in this area. This

89
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.680
is where we used to have them. Yeah, by god, this is

90
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.480
great. We know we've got this
thing called the prairie chicken. I understand

91
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.120
it's not really a chicken, but
we call it that because well that's what

92
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.279
we call it. So what's the
story on this thing? Absolutely so,

93
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:23.040
Ornithologists and people around the world tend
to name things by how we see it

94
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.360
a prairie chicken. It's about a
size of a chicken. Giver take a

95
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.199
little bit. They run on the
ground like a chicken, but not a

96
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.560
chicken at all. They're actually a
grouse ground bird that's native to this area.

97
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:41.319
These birds are found more to the
north and west of US now,

98
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.480
but we still see the lesser prairie
chicken, grater prairie chicken. Just amazing

99
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.800
birds that if you've never seen one, go to our website and look,

100
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.399
because it's you would not imagine something
like this being here unless you've seen it.

101
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.680
But yeah, they're they're here,
and we're breeding a subspecies to Outwater's

102
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.959
prairie chicken for releases story. A
bird that used to do really well and

103
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.000
now needs a little bit of help. Ideally, we just get him started

104
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.759
and let nature do the rest.
It's great that we have a starting point

105
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.680
with you guys. Absolutely abscellently.
Now this is the cool thing about Daniel.

106
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.480
Yeah, yeah, of course he
gets could go out in Boo the

107
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.160
show at the school and at your
clubs and stuff like this. But you

108
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:23.800
didn't start out as the guy going
out to the schools and the clubs.

109
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.240
How did you begin there? Sure? Absolutely So when I got my start

110
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.079
at the Setonavian Research Center, it
was actually an internship. I came in

111
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.279
and said, hey, I hear
about the great work you guys are doing.

112
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.279
I want in let me, let
me, let me help, let

113
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.519
me do a little bit of work
for the summer. Let's see how this

114
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.680
goes. And I started working with
that Outwaters Prairie chicken program, with that

115
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.480
captive breeding and release program. I
was so enthralled. I absolutely loved it.

116
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.079
And when the breeding season was over, I said, hey, tell

117
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.920
me about these bob whites, And
before you know what, I'm working with

118
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.000
another species. So I'm working with
two of the most endangered species in North

119
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:01.160
America. And I'm just absolutely blown
away by it. And lo and behold,

120
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.720
there's opportunity opens up in education,
and I'm like, hey, let

121
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.360
me talk to people about this.
I've had such a great experience and I

122
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.040
feel like I can really share this
message. So that's that's what I get

123
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.000
to do. Now. I've got
some birds that I train up, and

124
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.639
I go out and spread the message
of conservation in the work that we're doing

125
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.279
right here. Well, that is
fantastic. And of course we do have

126
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.920
the wild brew which, by the
way, is the biggest fundraiser I understand

127
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.519
for the Set Research Center, and
this is where we have a lot of

128
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:33.240
fun raising funds. Yep. Absolutely, So this is the twenty fifth anniversary

129
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.279
of wild Brew, and wild Brew
is absolutely how you can help fund conservation

130
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.960
research and education. If you like
seeing these birds out out at your events

131
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.399
and out in your schools, this
is how you can help fund that.

132
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.519
Go online wildbrew dot org. You
can purchase your tickets there. You've got

133
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.639
general admission tickets which are still available. We haven't sold out yet. It

134
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.600
is a limited number, so if
we do sell out, which does happen,

135
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.279
Yeah, you don't want to be
left waiting at the door, that's

136
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.240
for sure, because you can only
smell the food, you can't taste it.

137
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.600
Absolutely, we're gonna take a quick
break and we'll have a little bit

138
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.759
more coming up right here. On
gay, Why the one you dressed?

139
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.039
How does timhowl at Arnold Moore and
he can't fule the home? No,

140
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.279
he's done a good job. After
a funeral, I'll come in and say,

141
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.879
guys, great job. We really
hit that out of the part today.

142
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.840
The family was well pleased. And
that's the phrase right there when a

143
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:31.039
family member tells me, you made
this experience so much easier than I thought

144
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.720
it was going to be. Thank
you. That is the high five moment

145
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.600
right there. And then six months
later you run into them in a store

146
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.240
or a restaurant and they come up
to you and shake your hand, put

147
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.200
their arm around your home and say, this is our funeral director. He

148
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.679
helped us so much when dad died. He was a nice guy. His

149
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.919
staff is so compassionate and so caring. They did a great job. That

150
