A lucky Eagle as well. I volunteer at a Raptor Rehab Center, and this eagle, although not able to be released into the wild again and not be free again, was taken to a center to be helped, which means he did not die suffering a horrible painful death in the wild. His injuries probably made it impossible to fly properly again, or hunt. All centers like this have one goal in mind...to rehabilitate and to release back to the wild. If release is not possible they are kept at the facility, or sent to a center that perhaps takes birds with the particular problem they have. Many become educational birds, or ambassador birds to teach children and adults of the difficulties they face in daily life, especially the young people an awareness of how important our wildlife is. The birds are treated as close to how they live out in wild as possible, and very much loved.
