Under his supervision with a collection of 13 raptors (lucky number!) he performed Raptor Demonstrations for 2 consecutive years, afterwards then leading on to another 2 consecutive years for The Quebec City Zoo. After which put the gauntlet down and became a truck driver of all things and delivered kayaks across Canada and the USA. It was in Montana, 5 years later, he drove out of the tree line of the Rocky mountains when a golden eagle launched beside him and flew beside the truck for the following 3 kilometres. Imprinting yet again in Richi's mind. "He must fly again!"

Fly he did...all the way to the UAE. Working with the Department of Tourism in Dubai, he began flying falcons again. Based at the Nad Al Shiba Falcon Hospital his knowledge of caring for the birds was only hightened. After a short while he was then whisked away to the UK to another facility to maintain a collection of 300 raptors. Still, the time in the desert kept calling to him and he returned once more. Now on board with ShaheenXtreme he oversees the Baniyas Island project in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Maintaining the pigeon populations as well as performing displays for the Desert Islands Resort and Spa.

Quite a nice change to living in a dome tent!
