Hello Anne,

sure, just go on the FAQ page on our site and read FAQ no. 5:

take care,
Stef :)


5. Where does the raptor come from?

Actually in the "making of" video shown on the Japanese DVD, screenwriter Judith Thompson told, "I met some once who had a falcon at a party and someone said 'I wanted to have a falcon as a pet' and she said 'It's not a pet, it's a killer!' and so I thought about that when I came to write this. And the idea of a falcon is something wild and beautiful… Paulie is like this."

The raptor's real name is "Woody" and it's from the Canadian Raptor Conservancy ; it's a Harris Hawk. The raptor is controlled by a few voice commands it learned since its birth when it was feed.

Additionally Susan Swan, author of the book “The Wives of Bath”, mentions about the raptor on her site:

“One of the girls cultist worship of King Kong as a symbol of masculine power had been exchanged for the love of a falcon, kept secretly on the school grounds.”
