This was awesome, Rat/Salmon treat, YUMMY! Questions, Can a captive Raptor be bred and raise young for release in the wild or does her injury prevent this?

Alaska Raptor Center7 months ago

Good question! In theory, a captive raptor could breed and raise young, but we are not a breeding facility and don’t have the equipment or permits for that kind of program.

Does she know you’re helping or think it’s just a weird interest of yours and a fair trade for rat-salmon?

Yep. So is a rhino’s horn.

A deadly Black Mamba is snatched mid-air by a Snake Eagle… but the hunter becomes the hunted as the snake twists free and locks onto the eagle’s talons in a brutal struggle. Before either can escape, lions arrive on the scene, turning the chaos into a full-scale battle-leaving the trapped eagle with almost no chance of breaking free. #videosvuvu

As Big Bear's beloved bald eagle Jackie continues to receive critical care, we're learning more about a new eagle visiting the habitat she shares with her mate, Shadow. Friends of Big Bear Valley released a photo that it says shows Shadow perched in a tree with a subadult eagle nearby. Volunteers believe it could be the same female eagle that had a brief skirmish with Jackie.

Do you remember the Bald Eagle who struck a power line or pole. The eagle was rescued by our volunteer and it was discovered that he suffered a break in his shoulder area. Luckily, with our care he made a full uncomplicated recovery and was successfully returned to the wild!
