At any competent rehabilitation center, anyway.

I have been involved with raptor rehabilitation for a couple decades now. Young juvies require special handling to avoid imprinting. This includes:

* No talking in their presence, and playing nature recordings in the facility so that those, not building/human noises, are familiar to the right off the bat.

* Feeding them in a manner that does not allow them to see the feeder. This “puppetry” technique is a common method.

* As soon as possible, getting the youngster into a chamber with a “mentor” bird that will raise it, to remove human contact to the extent possible.
