Vet Helps Bald Eagle Learn How To Fly Again | The Dodo

[@angiadcock8196]

It’s so incredible that she was able to be released into the wild after such a severe injury. Thank you to all involved in her recovery.

[@rosiehawtrey]

Not really, provided the animal healthy and the ends can be mated together most fractures will heal. You can get fractures that point blank refuse but that's usually either if they've fractured at a previous fracture point or there's other health issues. Oddly enough in humans it takes a lot more relative force to break a child's arm than an adults, because there is a lot of collagen in the childs arm which makes the bone bendy.. The downside is the skull sutures haven't closed so a head injury much worse in a kid than an adult.

[@angiadcock8196]

@@rosiehawtrey in my previous experience working with a wildlife rescue center that hasn’t always been the case. I admit I’m no expert, but I’ve seen birds with injuries like that never make it back to the wild, so I personally find it impressive.

[@rosiehawtrey]

[@jonasklose6472]

Everyone who likes working with animals will never blame the animal if this happens. They have strong instincts and even when they try to be careful, they can still hurt by accident. The only thing I have to criticize is that they prevented her from getting comfortable in the situation. If they had tried to at least have one caretaker who she trusted, she'd been less scared, confused and probably also avoided some rough handling.

[@angeljet6388]

She probably could have bit his finger off, but was kind enough to just give him a warning nibble, his reaction was perfect though!

[@GFStodtmeister]

My father was a veterinarian in Sparks, Nevada and the chosen vet for the Nevada Fish & Game. We were brought a golden eagle which also had a broken wing. I was in Jr. High School and missed the surgery but worked in the hospital after school to feed and care for the animals. When you would approach the eagle in the cage he would rock back and spread his talons as if to say, "Go ahead and reach in. I've go a surprise waiting for you." Eagles are such beautiful and majestic birds of pray - also called raptors for a good reason. The eagle was with us for a week before taken by the Fish & Game to a sanctuary. It was released back into the Nevada desert where it had been wounded and it was reported to be seen many days hence. I really enjoyed this story because in a small way I lived it.

Looks like she's using a lot of energy extra flapping just to be able to stay airbourne 😢 hopefully her wing gets stronger & she makes a full recovery someday! 🙏

[@shreyadas6071]

Right

[@markherring3513]

Yeah..those muscles havent been used in 8 weeks.....she'll fly in circles for a week haha.

[@chadsmith5933]

Was thinking same thing

[@hectormonclova7563]

I saw that too. Hope was just a matter of exercise... 🙏🏼

[@DTProtoss]

Its indeed such a tough call to make... animals recover so quickly yet deteriorate just as quickly as well, one always thinks maybe she coulda stayed in the rehab center a few more days, but there are trade offs... i also hope she will be doing well and hunting all the little animals like she used to 😊

[@17pinksoda]

When she looked back at y'all before she flew high..awwe my heart. Thank you Dr and to all the rescuers and caretakers. 🦅

Even without the music, I don't believe there is any animal more majestic or inspiring than a bald eagle. The 'Founding Fathers' chose well!

Dr. Cliff she may have bit you but she also landed and looked back at the people who saved her life. She will be back to high soaring and catching food. And hopefully raising more eagles. Thank y'all. 💕🦅💕

[@whitealliance9540]

No. She bit them to say "and dont let it happen again" since she was shot during duck hunting season. Im sure she had a whole family that probably fell out the nest by now and are gone... But hey lets get some pretty pictures amirite?? 😑 please. How about you stop HUNTING ANIMALS??

[@benjaminvance8142]

When I was a Boy Scout, I remember we were returning from a camp from an island in the middle of a huge lake. While we were riding the boat back to shore, we saw this bald eagle soar from the trees and glide over the surface of the water. Every scout on the boat fell silent and saluted the bird 🦅

What a wonderful story! Especially glad to see such a young eagle get back into the wild. She looks to be about 3-4 based on the brown in her head and tail. Lots of years ahead of her.

[@Fireplug52]

A bird of this majesty is something you will never forget. I encountered one of this eagles over fifty years ago and my position to it was driving over a mountain road looking down at a river and this eagle come flying below me with such a wing spread it frightened me. You never forget an encounter such as this. A glorious species.

Thank you crew for your patience, skills, and doing what you do. That wingspan is truly something else! She might be cranky but she'll never forget this moment.

I will never see eagles the same way again after that precious look in it's eyes

I noticed that too! She truly looked so scared, hurt and worried! I’ve never seen an eagle have much of any facial expressions. I loved it!

[@godbluffvdgg]

Hopefully she gets her flight groove back...The Eagles I've seen don't flap so much...Long deep strokes...Such a beautiful animal!

[@sayosweeti5757]

to be fair- she had been through a lot and she was trying her best to get into the air, they need a lot of speed in order to soar, therefore, quick flaps at the start of a flight!

[@genxeratl]

@@joshuamason8992 I wouldn't say wrong but I was a little concerned at the end there too since it didn't look like she was getting any altitude for what seemed like a lot of effort - but I'm not a bird expert so figured those folks know better.

[@TheJacksnipe]

Hunters don't know anything about nature.

[@rosiehawtrey]

Yeah, when I saw the size and knowing how both birds move and fly I'm a bit surprised at the misidentification. After all the eagles big enough it could carry two small ducks as parasite fighters. Methinks a little too much redneck petrol, either that or a newbie that just blasted away at anything with feathers.. At least they had the honesty to get the bird in a safe place and treated, and I do *not* envy them trying to pick it up and get it boxed.

[@emp9413]

Yeah MORONS
