Air Force’s live mascot, a 22-year-old white gyrfalcon, has suffered potentially life-threatening injuries due to a prank leading up to the Falcons’ rivalry matchup against Army this week.
The gyrfalcon, Aurora, was reportedly taken from a colonel’s home as part of a prank by West Point cadets, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette. While the bird was being kept by the Army cadets, Aurora apparently injured a wing.
An Air Force official told the Colorado Springs Gazette that Aurora may need to be euthanized due to the injury.

Even our own military can't manage millennials.

I’m genuinely surprised that the mascot isn’t an Eagle.

There's about to be some blue falconry

It’s the Air Force and falcons are known for their speed. Man you would suck at picking names.

I didn’t know they were the falcons.
I just assumed that since they were a military college, whose focus is on aeronautics, and the national bird is the Eagle...

This sounds like it would involve Joe Pesci.

This is why I don't like teams to have live mascots.

I feel like you say this only because a red algal bloom wouldn’t be much of a fan favorite.

Perfect post is perfect.

Army should have to forfeit their win from yesterday.

Blue falcons are worse than shitbags

Reminds me of the Bayside-Valley rivalry in the 90s when Screech was kidnapped.

Just a bird.
Easily replaced.
Not like it’s a rare mammal or other rare animal mascot.
Sucks but again just a bird

Wonders why their mascot isn't an Eagle.

A taxpayer funded quarter-million dollar bird...
That said, really unfortunate turn of events. Stealing mascots isn't necessarily a new thing among CIC schools.
