The Bald Eagle That Would Not Quit | Bald Eagle Rescue Short Film | Wildlife Documentary

[@GowildlifeOrg]

The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah has released a short film titled, "The Bald Eagle That Would Not Quit". In January of 2015, a very, very, sick bald eagle arrived at the rescue center. Initially, wildlife rehabilitator, Martin Tyner, did not think the bird would survive. Over nearly two months, the bald eagle continued to fight and, against all odds, grew stronger and healthier. This film features footage of examinations and feedings as the bald eagle recovers. During sessions with the bald eagle, Martin shares extensive information about wildlife rehabilitation and notes positive signs of recovery. Educational materials and full transcript are available at www.gowildlife.org Questions about Eagles (FAQ): www.gowildlife.org/questions-about-eagles-faq/ Please Visit: www.gowildlife.org/eagle Please Visit: www.gowildlife.org Please Help: www.gowildlife.org/get-involved/ Rodent Pro Gift Certificates: www.rodentpro.com/products/rodent-pro-gift-card Please Shop our Amazon Wishlist: a.co/h1LMYgw Please support us through Amazon Smile: smile.amazon.com/ch/87-0570151

THIS WAS AN EXQUISITE PRESENTATION OF THE DEDICATED REHABILITATION OF ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST ICONIC BIRDS; THE STRONG AND MIGHTY BALD EAGLE! YOU AND YOUR WIFE PROVIDED US WITH AN UP-CLOSE-AND-PERSONAL VIEW. YOU HAD AMAZING PATIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND “ BED-SIDE -MANOR”. TO SEE YOU AND THE EAGLE TOGETHER, WAS INCREDIBLE! YOU BOTH HAD A GREAT AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, AND WITHOUT ALL OF THE ABOVE, THAT BIRD WOULD NEVER LIVE TO FLY AGAIN! ONE COMPLAINT! WHEN THE EAGLE WAS FINALLY LET TO FLY AWAY TO LIVE THE LIFE HE WAS INTENDED, THE VIEWERS MISSED IT! TO ME, IT WAS A HUGE PART OF THE REHABILITATION! WHY DID WE NOT SEE HER FLY??‼️‼️

I found a shot great horned owl in my yard. And no one wanted to help it out. So I did it on my own. I was able to release it back into the wild. I am a native American, and my grandfather taught me well. He always told me wild things belong in the wild. It still shows up in my one of my trees. Or at least believe it is the same owl.

Your that great horned owls savior, and thank goodness for people like you. I have rescued dogs, cats, and some birds that no one else would help.

So glad you were able to save it. My gpa used to pick up small birds in East TN hit by cars or such. He nursed a Blue Jay back to health and it came back at evening every day. Sat on the back of his chair and would sit on the rail. Once it started to lose light he would fly off. He did this for 2 years.

[@FallingGalaxy]

My sister. She did it for a squirrel. She knew nothing about the creatures, but went and educated herself when she found a sickly baby one and she stayed up without sleep to make sure it was fed as often as it needed and cared for and kept at the right temperature and all it needed while also making sure it would be able to return to the wild when it was big enough and strong enough and she slowly started as it got big enough, taking it outside and getting it used to being out doors and it would spend more and more time out there until finally it never came back in and had it's own family over time, etc and she never expected thanks. Her thanks was in seeing a sickly creature grow healthy and survive thanks to her efforts. That was enough for her. She was an incredible person who helped animals ever since she was a little girl. The world lost a lot when she died. I'm glad there are still some people like this.

As the song ended they each were standing on one leg, and that's how they remained as I left them.

Some people would not believe you I am sure, but if you go clear back to the book of Genesis it would appear that in the original creation man and animals were able to communicate freely with each other. There are individuals and moments for that communication barrier seems to come down, and I believe with your song you found one of those moments! What a beautiful testimony of joy!

I got the chance to see a Bald eagle nest in the wild when I was walking along a river. I didn't expect it to be the size of a small car. There is a reason people hold these animals in such high regard, other than them being the national bird.

Live in Delaware. Our program has done very well. When I first moved up here there were still problems with people shooting eagles or, worse, poisoning them. In the last two decades one eagle was shot by an idiot who should never have a gun. They caught him and he served time in prison as he had previous offenses. We live in a suburban area backing on the Christianna Rivier...literallly at my backyard and see an eagle pair every year. It's a wonderful experience. When I was a child..I am now 67...eaglew ere endangered due to DDT. My parents wrote letters, signed and circled petitions. Their recovery has been astonishing. Overtime I see one I smile, remembering the huge effort that went into saving them. Now the struggle is to reduce the pollutants that are so harmful to eagles and all living things. Thank you for your work.

It was so good to see him actually take the food off of you himself. When you have to basically force feed them you see their spirit almost breaking, they stop even holding their heads up. I didn't understand what was meant when wildlife rescuers meant when they'd say an animal was too far gone to save even though it was still breathing. But seeing that eagles reaction to the force feeding, even though it was the only thing keeping him alive, you could see it was so sad and extremely stressed out by it, that it was suffering.

What a beautiful story. So happy he recovered and returned to being wild and free. I myself have rescued wild birds. One was a male Cardinal that somehow got trapped in our screened in porch. i was afraid he would break his wings. I have always had an uncanny way of calmly approaching and soothingly talking to wild animals to let them let me approach them. I was able to capture it. i was surprised at once at how large he actually was and then how warm he was! He did not struggle or try to bite me. I opened the door and released him. He flew to a nearby phone line and just watched me for awhile as if he was amazed i even let him go! The second bird i rescued was a wild Canadian Goose which had been hit by a car. He was unable to fly or walk but sat in the road. Once again i approached the bird slowly and soothingly talking i was able to pick him up in both arms and move him to a nearby retraining wall for protection. Now everyone knows Wild geese can bite and snap your fingers but it did not attempt to bite me. The police called a wildlife conservationist. i don't know if they saved him or euthanized him but at least he wasn't further injured by another car. I would love to come and volunteer at your conservation. Maybe after my 90 year young mother passes as i take care of her now.
