The three Denton Homes Eaglets that were re-homed yesterday into a temporary newly build nest were removed today by the local bird experts at Iowa Bird Rehab. They will spend the night at their rehab facility and in the morning will be transported to SOAR (Saving Our Avian Resources) to begin rehabbing. Denton Homes Iowa states: "All three eaglets will be removed today and taken to a rehab center. We do appreciate everyone's prayers. support and love for this nest/ We are all sad but the eaglets are the #1 priority".
Update From SOAR: " ~ tough, but necessary decision ~
SOAR feels the Denton home eaglets need to come into rehabilitation because:
** Parents have not been visiting or feeding.
** The eaglets have spent more than 40 hours without food. We are worried about starvation and dehydration.
** The eaglets' bodies are growing many feathers at this stage and need good nutrition to form properly.
** Structure they are in is susceptible to predation, being only 8 feet or so off the ground.
** Plus, we are in line for more storms tonight with heavy rain and wind.
Thanks must go to Jen at Iowa Bird Rehabilitation for her efforts!
Once these eaglets are stable, have gained weight, and are a bit older, they will join other eagles in the flight pen.
We have been successfully rehabbed eagles of all ages and stages for the last 25 years."
This is the right decision to make for the eaglets to be given a chance at living a normal and full life. Rehabbing young eaglets is a slow process but one that has a high success rate. SOAR is an excellent rehab center designed to handle the needs of the three eaglets.
Many thanks to Iowa Bird Rehabilitation for jumping into action so quickly to care for these eaglets. This violent storm displaced quite a few birds & they are very busy working to care from them as well.
Many thanks once again the the entire Denton Homes Iowa team for their quick response in rescuing the eaglets, rebuilding a nest & returning the eaglets to it! What an amazing effort we are witnessing! Their dedication to the well being of the eagle family is inspirational!
