So... funny story, there was a stabbing on set the day before we shot at the mines, so we were in media lockdown the of the mines. So I never posted the pictures to social media. I will have to dig out my archives drive's and look for them.
Was this like a normal day on set or are violence, animal rescue and finding precious stones atypical of film work?
Oh, fun fact. The set where the stabbing happened, is the same set where Halyna Hutchins a was shot and killed during the filming of Rust.
This was not a typical day on set, however it is not the only time I rescued a bird on set. Later that year we were filming at the site of the infamous New Mexico State Penitentiary riot and a raptor got into the "snitch" wing which is closed to the public. I had to get our escorts to let me in so I could catch the bird and release it.
Did you call him/her "Snitch Wing?"
Labeling the picture as that now.
Well, it's no baby owl but I appreciate it anyway. Thanks for sharing a piece of your rich, bird-charmer life.
