CLARIFICATION: Many questions are received regarding the wing fracture. The patient was euthanized due to the nature of the injuries. Aside from the oblique fracture of the left humerus, a complete tendon rupture in combination with aged extensive damage to the muscle tissue was found. Treating this injury would be impossible. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and The Swedish Animal Welfare Act prohibits wild animals from being permanently placed in captivity, in wildlife parks, educational centers etc. Amputation is not allowed and would be an illegal act in Sweden.

I expected this to be interesting, but this video is so much more than that. Caring people faced the tough decision to euthanize an injured eagle, only to realize they've put down the father of 2 chicks who still need him to bring them food. That started my tears flowing. Then that same group of people did such an amazing job rescuing & rearing the young eagles to adulthood, setting them free in the end- not keeping them at a zoo or aviary for the rest of their lives. Well done you wonderful people!! I never expected to be so emotional from watching this video, but it really tugged at my heart.

I have seen two eagles unable to fly, given a hill/cliff face made of straw bales, happily breed and produce healthy strong babies for over a decade. They lived in a roofed tennis court on a farm, with a sheltered spot at the top, where they made their nest. Once it was clear they wanted to nest, they were bought the materisls to make a nest. They were very happy well fed birds and lived happy lives. Their babies were returned to the wild and bred with wild partners. There was no need for that male to be killed.

[@michaelinhouston9086]

Hi Meadow. I agree - they made all the right decisions for the best outcome. The total break in the male's wing suggests that there was more wrong with him than just a broken wing - plenty of raptors get slight fractures, from hitting trees, that heal on their own.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Several years ago the male bald eagle of a pair nesting in Decorah, Iowa, unexpectedly disappeared and was presumed dead. The nest had two or three very young eaglets. The female did a splendid job raising them herself. It helped the nest was near a fish hatchery that kept a stocked retention pond within eyeshot of the eagle nest - a tactic I assume to keep the eagles away from the fish tanks in the hatchery. But the female raised them and the clutch all fledged. Perhaps it is different with other species of eagles that the female will not hunt if the male is no longer around to provide food for the eaglets.

[@Luceforall]

Hi, I believe there might be a problem with some other eagle species - in some breeds, the male is unable to tear the food into little pieces and feed the chicks, so his job is just that of the hunter (I guess it should be OK to bring whole prey at a later stage, when the chicks can self feed). Feeding matters rest entirely with the female. I have just read that female White Tailed Eagles start to join hunts for food 28 days after the chicks hatch. Mum Decorah did an exceptional job at raising her three eaglets single handed. She would also sometimes return to the nest with more than one fish in order to cut her trips for fishing short! Wasn't there a male who started offering help. shortly after Dad Decorah disappeared (not DM2, before him)?

[@marielowgren7162]

@@Luceforall Yes, eagles kinds must differ between them. The Bald Eagle parents do all that together and I remember the Decorah, Iowa, Mom who raised the 3 eaglets by herself, and had a new mate the following season, and the fish hatchery made that possible! I live in Stockholm and I was tickled to come across this story right in my neighborhood of the lives of the WTE, White Tipped eagle or Sea Eagle that we call them. On the American continent they only exist in the very north of Canada. I follow several web cams of Bald Eagle nests in the USA, my favorite kind of eagle, but I don't think there are any of these web cams of eagle nests in Sweden. Please let me know if anyone knows anything different! The world and lives of eagles are incredible to be part of!

[@Luceforall]

@@marielowgren7162 Wonders never cease, on KZbin! I follow a few live streams myself and publish videos of nest highlights (Bald Eagles and, in Sydney, White-Bellied Sea Eagles). If I come across anything, I will certainly let you know! An organisation called Streambird Pro has live cams on White-Tailed eagle nests in Smola, Norway :)

[@FYCH45]

I doubt there's much of a difference in the parenting styles of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla, which is what these Swedish eagles are). The two species are very closely related to each other (DNA studies confirm that they are each other's closest relatives, and there is less genetic difference between them than exists within many species). The problem is that hunting for food usually takes a lot of time and energy, and normally is too much for a single parent to both do this and to provide for the other needs of young nestlings. I suspect that the main reason why the Decorah bald eagle mother was successful in raising her eaglets by herself was the stocked fish farm retention pond nearby, providing a constant easily accessed supply of food, which would not have taken her as much time to successfully hunt, as it would have in more usual wild situations.

[@georgielancaster1356]

I have personally witnessed 2 of Australia's largest eagles, both shot by farmers, illegally, with a wing seen at the time, as irrepairable, be quietly taken in by a very different farmer. He actually put a roof over half his old tennis court, and netted the other half, and built a straw bale hill at the covered end. The first eagle arrived about a year or 18 months before the second. The second found injured by his neighbour, with wing damage, was offered as a companion to the first eagle. Not only did the eagles get along, but they courted and began to build a nest, on the top of tje straw bale hill/cliff. Those birds, written off by experts thought to have been euthanized, raised 2 babies a year, for over a decade. How long it went on, I don't know, because I moved away. The babies learned to start to fly in the protection of the tennis court, then were put out in the mornings, then for the day, then welcomed back, any time they were passing. It sickens me, that species at risk are so often killed by the rigid bureaucrats that decide that birds that can't fly are worth nothing. I guess we can be grateful that these same people can't kill human disabled, as easily as they can with their bureaucratic licenses, with animals. As any person who knows animals will tell you, if an animal is unhappy, under stress, it won't breed. Those huge non flying eagles lived happy breeding lives and contributed at least 20 perfectly healthy, strong, young eagles to a species under great stress in Australia. The 'experts' have killed hundreds of non flying eagles who could have happily bred for possibly decades - and your group is doing the same thing. Ignorantly, conceitedly, patronisingly. There is no reason why eagles unable to fly can't be offered partners of opposite sex, also unable to fly, given enclosures and food and the opportunity of living very happy lives, contributing strong healthy young eagles to the country's eagle population. All they need is a natural diet - that can be found in fresh road kill. No extra killing needed! I just read of the pompous compassionless decisions made by people who belong with the nutter fas cist PETA idiots, who are employed by bureaucrats SUPPOSEDLY making decisions based on deep knowledge of animal/bird behaviour, and I understand how much danger native animals are in, in the care of their supposed official protectors.

[@Jaisha26]

Yours is the only comment that talks about these important matters. I was VERY disgusted to see they euthanized a healthy bird because he couldn't fly. Disgusting.

[@georgielancaster1356]

@@Jaisha26 Most people are unaware that there are possibilities to have these creatures HAPPILY pairbond and raise young each year, that are then released slowly becoming competent hunters. In Australia, sadly, there are always kangaroos hit almost daily, on the roads. If rangers are out and about, they can get a fresh one, cut into chunks, the rest frozen, so the birds get all important fur and bone, as well as meat. They can also shoot a few feral rabbits. There are also cockatoos and galahs hit by cars, fairly often. Picked up fresh, they supply perfectly suitable natural food. The initial cost of enclosures the size of tennis courts could be set up with public donation, including the bales of straw to make a cliff/hill. If the hill half is roofed, a little protection set up behind the nest, the birds can be left with a pile of sticks up the top of the 'hill,' so they can organise their nest as easily as possible. It is quite moving to see how pairs of most animals will continue to try to breed, when they can barely survive. In these enclosures, birds of prey can still build high nests, still have natural food, and a little man made 'pond' to drink and splash about. The arrogance of people SUPPOSEDLY really experienced, often claiming to love these species, to then kill an animal just when it needs the kindness, the UNDERSTANDING of it's desire to live and reproduce, just stuns me. And I never forget that big hearted farmer, who immediately set out to give it a safe home, and eventually found a mate for it, not knowing if it would succeed, but to give it the joy of another of it's own species. And these groups have probably multiple non flying birds of both sexes, EVERY YEAR, that are now KILLED. And I have to say, THAT break did not look that hard to fix. It was a relatively clean break, not near any joint. I think that bird's wing may have repaired okay. The worst breaks are involving the joints, so they will fuse. THEY are the wings that probably won't be able to be saved - but the birds can be saved and built breeding enclosures. So, frankly this is a bloody miserable story where they at least saved the babies. They could also have taken up pieces of cut up dead native animals, and set up a little pond of water, so female eagle did not have to leave for a few weeks, until babies were much bigger and able to see off most creatures. I just loathe this 'if it isn't perfect, it's life is valueless,' fascist thinking within these bleak, compassionless bureaucrats. And I hate it most in the management of these groups. Absolutely no challenge to black and white thinking. So that old farmer contributed at least 20 strong, well fed, wormed, healthy eagles over a decade. Allowed two disabled eagles to live long happy lives - and if he had been caught, he would have been fined and the wildlife rangers would have taken away the eagles and killed them. DESPITE THE CLEAR SUCCESS OF WHAT HE HAD DONE.

@@georgielancaster1356 All of this info just blows my mind. I don't even know what to say, other than my heart hurts to know of how many animals are killed like this. And I don't know how to help stop it. Thanks for sharing this info. And btw, that break didn't look that bad to me either. Thank you for being honest and exposing the truth.

Wow to see all the things they do for their Eagles, it would be nice if the US were as focused as.these guys are? The babies were so cute it is sad the father was put down for his Pain and injury, but I have learned now that the father provides the mother feeds. I once lived at the water edges of Liberty Lake Washington. I rented a house one year. Beautiful lake and shortly after moving in to my surprise an Eagle hunted the lake for fish. He would fly snatch up a fish and take it to this dead tree of the house next door to me. It was exciting to watch. That following Spring I noticed one day there was a baby eagle flying with now I know to be his father. I watched everyday took pictures and watched.them grow. Then before I knew it some company bought the house next door and the plans were to tear down old house build new house. I talked to one of the guys on the crew and told them you can't take down the old dead tree. There is an Eagle and their child hunting these grounds and rest and eat in this tree. I was told to shove off. I called everyone I could find in the phone book this 90/91 So no computers. By the time I found someone that could stop them from removing the tree, I was too late. So for weeks I searched for them. And found them at the other side .of this lake high in the dead tree. I was glad they were ok same would survive to hunt that lake for ever. These Beautiful Creatures of massive size soar through the air so flightlessly that I still remember the 20 years later. Beautiful and should forever be protected.

My toxic trait watching a 14min KZbin video about saving injured eaglets and balling my eyes out at release 🤣🤣
