Decorah Eagles- A SCARY SITUATION FOR EAGLET D32

This morning on 04.14.2019 Mom was on the nest bowl, when she got up D32 was stuck to her feathers somehow. Mom started to walk around the nest bowl and D32 was dragged and couldn't get unstuck from Mom's feathers. Mom then stopped and called out and DM2 came immediately to the nest. Mom turned around slowly and then flew off and D32 was loosened from her feathers. A very close call for little D32, but all is good in the nest now.Thank goodness!!

Word on the street that D32 is swooping down and picking up elephants for brunch on the daily.

[@beckyfinley5218]

Amazing footage! Blessing of God that the little one survived. So precious how DM2 came quickly and how he encouraged D32 to come to him.

[@JaidJazzMaster]

That poor baby was almost strangled to death...... So glad it got free from MOM before she flew off the nest.. What a close call for that poor baby. This is going to be an exciting yr for these little one and their parents. Im just so glad for a good out come this time. Rest up little eaglet, you deserve lots of it.

[@suearmstrong9597]

That was so frightening. Poor baby bird. It is so sad when they don't realize one of their young are in trouble. He was so lucky.....help from above is what got him back in the safety zone. l was on edge until he ducked under the feathers AGAIN. Gulp!!!! Thank you for sharing. 🍃🌎🦅

Yes, I was scared because on one of the nests several years ago, the same thing happened! But the little one couldn't get untangled and mom flew off and the baby dropped to the ground. :( It was so sad because that little one was so perky. Scary when this happens.

Да такое видео существует. Смотрела его, орлëнка было жалко...

[@thomasmleahy6218]

I remember seeing that one, I was so disappointed I didn't continue watching. It certainly doesn't follow that bigger birds have bigger brains. I've seen smaller parents accidentally push out a chick whilst arranging themselves to sit on them. They look back at the chick falling out and over, and it doesn't seem to register even though they watched it happen. I've also seen this with an egg fumbled out of the nest, they see it, but then turn away. Doesn't seem to register with the parent. Of course, there were more than a few very poorly constructed nests which were not successful in keeping everyone aboard.

What a brave little one. D32 will be a survivor. There is no doubt in my mind DM2 is a great father and protector. He looked as if he was going to turn D32 over, but chose not to, but did keep an eye on her. He might have done more harm than good. Good job, you two! Thank you for posting this so quickly!

The bird is not “brave”. It turned itself over. Period.

Poor D32. S/he struggled so hard and then was all pooped out. Life is often so hard for our eagles. We have much to be thankful for at this nest. So sweet that DM2 checked on D32 and then let D32 work it out. Alls well that ends well.

Either the chick or one of the parents got fish blood on the feather and that acted as glue. as the mother laid on the chick the blood dried and the bird became attached.

It's always really sad for me, when I come across ppl who choose to instigate an argument, a pointless one that has nothing to do with the content, to get a rise out of users in comments sections on KZbin... We're all here together appreciating the beauty of eagles, & some sad miserable soul walks in yelling that people have imaginary friends. I hope that person has found something way more fulfilling & warm for their spare headspace & time ❤️ Can't imagine watching something incredibly rare like this, and still feeling in the mood to argue. Then again, I personally love the amount of spirituality some lucky people feel when they connect with a part of nature that's struck them as especially amazing. Wishing all of you most beautiful things in this year to come 💞
