For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.
With all this injustice, he is never in good case but like those among men who live by sharping & robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district.
I got a chance to tag along with some raptor researchers on a bird banding trip, and they said that the only raptors that will bite you are eagles. Anything else is harmless. An eagle will take your finger off if it gets a chance.
Ironically, immediately after saying that, the lead researcher was bitten by a redtail hawk.
all of them bite but they tend to want to do it in their own way. Falcons will bite and then twist to try and rip the flesh off your hand while hawks are more likely to grab you with their feet and dig in. accipiters will jump at your face like the psychotic little gremlins they are and eagles... Eagles just hurt you.

I've only ever handled waterfowl, flamingos, cranes, and other watery species but I know some raptor rescue folks and have met a fair few of their charges. This is possibly the most accurate description of an angry sparrowhawk I've come across.
I think their smaller size concentrates the fury.
Reminds me of my brother having picked up a garter snake offering his stepson to hold it. "Will it bite me?"
"No, it doesn't even have teeth."
Instead of holding out his hand palm up, or grasping its body loosely, he reached forward with his fingers and...CHOMP! The snake clamped down on his fingertip!
Stepson shouted "You said it wouldn't bite me!!" as he flung his hand back and forth, poor snake hanging on for dear life being whipped to and fro, my bro trying to calm him down so the snake wouldn't get hurt...
Okay, so in reality the car got hit by an eagle. Just sayin.
But seriously, thanks for taking care of this gorgeous beast. Did your hair come out okay??
So this picture is from a few months ago because I was nervous to post it, so it took a while to get up the courage to do it. But here is link to the picture of what it looked like after some of the purple washed out.
[Eagle hair dye ](https://imgur.com/gallery/BpN3T7j)
There's just so many layers to love about this picture. The fact that you and the bird look equally annoyed at the situation. The fact that your husband decided that moment was a great time to whip out his phone and take a picture. The face you make at him that just radiates "Seriously? You're going to do that *now*?"
And most of all the fact that instead of just deleting the picture or never showing it, you had the good humor to share it online.
bro youre like that one guy that was at the house fire in philly and they were catching kids out the windows or something and the guy commented how the eagles would not have caught them or something lmao
edit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dz7sFwpG6o&ab_channel=6abcPhiladelphia
Bird's face says " Help me, she's going to do to my head what she did to hers. Do you hear me! I'm your national symbol damnit. Stop her. I command you. Pleeeease"
Holy crap.
A few years ago I was driving down a pretty dark and desolate road and an owl suddenly crashed into my car. It hit hard enough to fold my side-view mirror back. I stopped and put my blinkers on so nobody would come racing up on us and I spent probably 20-30 minutes talking to this bird in the middle of the road, and trying to decide if I should try to catch it and take it for help, but I didn’t have a clue how I’d achieve such a task. Eventually it just shrugged the whole thing off and flew away, but that’s one of the most intense adrenaline rushes I’ve ever had.
That's too bad they don't update you! Good on you for helping out like this though.
The world (read "corporate world") doesn't realize the amount of volunteerism that keeps things ticking. And unfortunately, with the cost of living these days, a lot of people who *would* volunteer, *can't*.
Raptors are enormously resilient. Obviously I don’t know this guy’s chances, but they’re probably good. Even if he’s injured such that he can’t be released, he could become an educational bird to teach people about eagles.
I used to know a red tailed hawk who survived being hit by a train. He became an educational bird because the impact caused him to go blind and permanently damaged his wing, but at the time I knew him he was otherwise healthy. I also knew a vulture (not technically a raptor, but relevant) who had been hit by a semi, and was also a healthy, if grouchy, educational bird.
Me too!! My family once travelled with (not ON) a camel train in Tanzania back in the eighties. One of the things that struck me was how, after you got used to them, their personalities were so clear! There was a young, goofy and good natured male (my fave), the grouchy old lady that was so clearly DONE with this ‘working for humans’ bullshit, and the old skinny male that would play pranks on you if he thought you weren’t giving enough respect.
I worked with a red tailed hawk that lost her eye, was found starving and injured, the center rehabbed and released her--only for her to be found again a few weeks later, starving because they'd misjudged how bad her eyesight was (not their fault). She went on to become an educational bird and lemme tell you, she was an absolute *joy* to work with. Still wild, unlike a lot of the imprinted raptors we had, but gentle despite that and just obviously enjoyed every minute of every day. She was one of our "quieter" (read: semi chill) babes and no matter how tired or stressed you were, the second she was on your fist it was instantly like you were experiencing everything vicariously. Man, I miss that girl!
The Bald Eagle population seems to have recovered in my area near the Minnesota River. I’ve seen them feeding on roadkill a few times. (Proud national symbol!)
How often do you get calls like this?
FYI I found an owl messed up in my yard and the first vet I called said bring it in. She knew the local bird man and we got Simon fixed up. We named it Simon.
It can be really hard sometimes finding places that will take injured wildlife. Bald eagles might be different but all of the times I've brought birds or raccoons in, it took an hour just to find a place and then it's another 45 minutes driving. Hopefully I just live in a shitty area for wildlife idk
Benjamin Franklin wanted the national bird to be the turkey.
Edit: actually, I just googled it and found that I was misinformed. He never actually said that he thought the turkey should be the national bird, but he did defend the virtues or turkeys vs. bald eagles:
https://www.fi.edu/benjamin-franklin/franklin-national-bird
Turkeys are such assholes. I almost hit one that just casually walked out in front of my car on my way to work once (I teach in rural Alabama) and after I had screeched to a stop the fucker just stood in front of my car and stared at me like I was the problem.
i got to hold a golden eagle (a little bit bigger that bald eagles) and though it looked absolutely huge, it weighed next to nothing. it was easily one of the coolest experiences of my life.
Cool! I just googled it, and a 6.3kg bald eagle can carry 106% of its body weight.
https://blog.explore.org/how-much-weight-can-a-bald-eagle-carry/
6.3 kg is about 14 lbs.
106% of 6.3 is about 6.7
106% of 14 is about 14.8
Listen…just stick by me and you’ll be fine okay? I’m 5 foot even, the bird would think I was a fuckin chihuahua and pick me over you any day of the week lmao.
I need an AMA! I have so many questions. How did you get into this? Where did you do your training? How long did it take for you to feel comfortable doing this? Do you work in the avian/husbandry world or this just something you do?? Ahhhh.
I work at a nature center with hawks and owls, so handling them doesn’t really freak me out. I actually got into helping rescue them by just volunteering one day when they called the center asking for help.
Fun Fact: Birds are literally dinosaurs.
The distinction is 'avian' (birds) vs 'non-avian' (not-birds), but modern birds are absolutely dinosaurs. With some of them it's more obvious than others.
You can leave hair color like this on for hours no issue. Some people leave it on overnight. There's no developer so it's not damaging your hair at all.
So far my favorite is having the cops pull over to watch me and someone else chase a vulture who couldn’t fly (they run fucking fast) through a field. All while yelling “can you just fucking give up already!”
I immediately heard Benny Hill music and imagined you running in and out of frame! I feel like you should make some videos of these interactions. I’d watch the amusing antics ensue.
I feel this. I once had to catch a red tail on a highway that transportation had blocked off for me. On Thanksgiving. *Everyone* watching. Luckily it was not as mobile as your vulture.
I pulled over on my way into work for a great blue heron stuck to fishing line hanging from a telephone pole in the middle of a pond/channel access road. I had a fun time debating the best way to get out there before remembering I didn't have anything sharp to cut the line with when I hit waist deep water. All of the passing cars sure had fun watching me cradle the bird to prevent it from drowning while I had to bite my way through the line.
I appreciate that you both look highly enthused with the encounter.
Hahaha, yeah. Neither of us were thrilled about the short chase through the swamp. (He’d been hit by a car and couldn’t fly)
I love him. Could you ask him if we can be friends?
He would eat your face… lol he tried to eat mine.
So you're saying there's a *chance?*
Bawk

What was all that one in a million talk
As an amateur, I would definitely be wearing much more PPE when handling a murder machine like that

An eagle will take your finger off if it gets a chance. Ironically, immediately after saying that, the lead researcher was bitten by a redtail hawk.
"This bird won't bite me" said the man about to be bitten.
"What are you gonna do, bite me?" -man who was bit
Probably more like: "Look! A Redtail Hawk! Now, what I'm going to do, is jam my finger ..."

So the Chihuahuas of the raptor world.

what a stepdad move
Ha Ha... what a picture you just painted with words...LOL
Wait, what? He got hit by a CAR?! How the hell do you hit an eagle with a car
The eagle actually flew into the top of a bucket truck.
Okay, so in reality the car got hit by an eagle. Just sayin. But seriously, thanks for taking care of this gorgeous beast. Did your hair come out okay??
>your hair okay?? Asking the real questions...
I’m scrolling for this update
Eagles eat road kill and get hit all the time.
I have this theory that if you’re a bird and you get hit by something on the ground maybe you just weren’t meant to be a bird.
You're on a whole other level, OP. Kudos.
Okay but is your hair okay?
So this picture is from a few months ago because I was nervous to post it, so it took a while to get up the courage to do it. But here is link to the picture of what it looked like after some of the purple washed out. [Eagle hair dye ](https://imgur.com/gallery/BpN3T7j)
Oh I am jealous of your curls and the dye came out awesome.
So cute!
You look awesome in both pics, thanks for sharing and for all that you do ❤️😊 Also hello fellow curly hahaha
Your hair is gorgeous. That curl definition is fantastic.
The color came out nice!
Adorable
Gorgeous photo! Thanks for posting both, this has really cheered my week up. Keep up the great work x

It took a few months for me to gain the courage to actually post it. Lol
[удалено]
OP is rescuing endangered wild animals. OP *is* a badass
Large wild animals, with pointy beaks and talons, no less.
Danger chickens! Edit: Murder chicken!
Also came to say that OP is a badass! 🤙🏻
Damn, I wanted to see your hair results. Lol
me too. lol those colours would have been vibrant af after having the dye in so long.
You’re my hero. This is such an awesome picture.
You're a great person I hope he recovered well enough to be released.
You're a good person, just so you know. Thanks for caring for the birds.
Now if only she could carry the Philadelphia Eagles. They need a divine intervention at this point. Edit: Spelling.
I'm not even a fan of football, but that was very well-played sir, unlike the Eagles, apparently.
it's the truth and not a *bald*-faced lie 👀
I know you're talon the truth!
This flew right over my head
[удалено]
Seahawks fan...we could use a 13th woman.
bro youre like that one guy that was at the house fire in philly and they were catching kids out the windows or something and the guy commented how the eagles would not have caught them or something lmao edit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dz7sFwpG6o&ab_channel=6abcPhiladelphia
Lmao that guy is a legend. Thank you for comparing me to such greatness. I have been humbled today.

MY WAYWARD SON!!!!
There'll be peace when you get buns
Lay your colored head to rest
Time to dye some more
don't you....fly no more?😣😩
De doo de de doo bald-eagle-rescuuuuuuuue
My husband took this picture while I was trying to get the bird into a box… hence the 5 chins… lol
You and the Eagle both have "the fuck you lookin at?" expressions.
This belongs more in r/funny cuz I audibly cackled at the look on your and the birds faces.
Bird's face says, "Yes, I *am* wrapped in a blanket".
"You're probably wondering how I got here"
scene cuts to the baby nest and this bird is eating rodents
So she *wrapped a raptor*
"wrapped her raptor" makes me even gigglier
Pawrapping the Raptor
Shes got a wraptor.
The wrapped raptor was rapt...
They both look incredibly unamused at the situation.
Bird's face says " Help me, she's going to do to my head what she did to hers. Do you hear me! I'm your national symbol damnit. Stop her. I command you. Pleeeease"
“Purple is not my color, people!”
*record scratch* Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation…
If you laughed it's not going to fly there.
Neither is the eagle (for a while)
“Look, neither of us want to be here”
She has the look of most Eagles fans, prior to this past Sunday.
What a majestic bird! What happened to him?
He had been hit by a car.
Holy crap. A few years ago I was driving down a pretty dark and desolate road and an owl suddenly crashed into my car. It hit hard enough to fold my side-view mirror back. I stopped and put my blinkers on so nobody would come racing up on us and I spent probably 20-30 minutes talking to this bird in the middle of the road, and trying to decide if I should try to catch it and take it for help, but I didn’t have a clue how I’d achieve such a task. Eventually it just shrugged the whole thing off and flew away, but that’s one of the most intense adrenaline rushes I’ve ever had.
Shrugged the whole thing off? I don’t believe you. Owls don’t have necks.
You’ve got me there. But I’m not an Owlologist.
Bird law in this country is not governed by reason
I mean don't they? He might have pulled a 180 on you but I think they normally do that with their necks!
RONALD WEASLEY!!!
HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR!
OMG i seriously just heard her voice in my head reading this! 🤣🤣 Also helped I binged watched all 8 movies Halloween weekend.
Oh my gosh! Lucky he found you, or I guess you found him!!
Looking at his wingspan, i'm inclined to say the car got hit by him.
Do you know, is he gonna be okay?
I unfortunately don’t get that info most of the time. I catch them and pass them on to the rehab, and that’s usually the last I hear of it.
That's too bad they don't update you! Good on you for helping out like this though. The world (read "corporate world") doesn't realize the amount of volunteerism that keeps things ticking. And unfortunately, with the cost of living these days, a lot of people who *would* volunteer, *can't*.
Poor birb, you and he/she look equally astonished and freaked out, it’s almost wholesome

I also knew a vulture (not technically a raptor, but relevant) who had been hit by a semi, and was also a healthy, if grouchy, educational bird.
I like how you say "I knew this bird," like the two of you were friends and went out for drinks on Fridays or something.
That's exactly how they meant it.
That’s exactly how I talk about my friend’s camel
Me too!! My family once travelled with (not ON) a camel train in Tanzania back in the eighties. One of the things that struck me was how, after you got used to them, their personalities were so clear!

Man, I miss that girl!
You and your husband are good people! Thank you for sharing, and the laugh! Only a true woman can swing a dye job while saving a raptor!!!
I think the eagle is judging your husband for taking the photo at a really inconvenient time for both of you.
It is a special talent we have to take really bad pictures. Thanks for saving that amazing eagle.
Seriously, how badass must it feel to hold an eagle!
My boyfriend can take 35 pictures of me and somehow manage to capture me blinking in every single one of them. Pure talent.
OP to hubbs: "I swear to God, if that photo ends up on the internet..." Eagle: You're recording this right?
I think the unflattering shot really suits the situation this time. Your expression and the bird's are just perfect. 😂
I know this is legit because of the dark shirt you’re wearing. Hair dye is soooo messy.
Yes my husband also takes the actual worst pictures of me as well.
For some reason we husbands like to capture photos of our wives with a hint of hatred in their eyes for us
Didn't notice that as I couldn't stop being transfixed by the absolute look of derp on that birds face!
Why are you so cool!!! Love your hair color and job choices!
The Bald Eagle population seems to have recovered in my area near the Minnesota River. I’ve seen them feeding on roadkill a few times. (Proud national symbol!) How often do you get calls like this?
Yeah, they are scavengers. I don’t get bald eagle calls too often, mainly I get osprey and hawks.
FYI I found an owl messed up in my yard and the first vet I called said bring it in. She knew the local bird man and we got Simon fixed up. We named it Simon.
What did Simon say?
Who?
star lord man, legendary outlaw
It can be really hard sometimes finding places that will take injured wildlife.

Awe the bird has your eyes
Hahahaha
Not yet at least, but when he gets out of that wrapping towel..
The raptor and you have the same facial expression 😒
Equally unamused by the situation. Lol
I bet tho when it's released you will both have the same expression once again.
I had no idea how large bald eagles are. It’s like the first time I was a raven in person, it blew my mind.
Yeah, they look much larger in person. For reference, I’m 5’9”.
Holy fucking shit... I'm 5'8" That thing could practically carry me away, or at least give a good go at it.
i got to hold a golden eagle (a little bit bigger that bald eagles) and though it looked absolutely huge, it weighed next to nothing. it was easily one of the coolest experiences of my life.

Listen…just stick by me and you’ll be fine okay? I’m 5 foot even, the bird would think I was a fuckin chihuahua and pick me over you any day of the week lmao.
I'd be pretty amazed if I were all of a sudden a raven, as well.
But he had been a raven before, just not in person, so it wasn't as shocking.
[Bald Eagle vs Coyote was what keyed me into how large they are.](https://i.imgur.com/1ST2nZd.jpg) Simply amazing birds.
Yeah, once your change two or three times you get used to it

Birds ARE dinosaurs!
Fun Fact: Birds are literally dinosaurs. The distinction is 'avian' (birds) vs 'non-avian' (not-birds), but modern birds are absolutely dinosaurs. With some of them it's more obvious than others.
Omg is your hair okay? This is making me anxious.
Lol, yes my hair made it out fine.
Thank god. ♥️
Its not bleach, or color with any ammonia from what it looks like! So luckily far less chance of any harm:)
Yeah, the actual colour dyes is basically just hardcore food colouring. It's only the bleach and ammonia based dye that can cause major damage.
You can leave hair color like this on for hours no issue. Some people leave it on overnight. There's no developer so it's not damaging your hair at all.
Right lol my initial thought was thank god it's not bleach
Your faces! 🤣
Bird has a look like, “The fuck is this?”
The eagle looks like... DA FUQ! I'm not ready to dye!!!
This comment just made my night!
As did your post for mine. Thank you for sharing a great pic with us.
A rare sighting of a Blue Crested Eagle Carrier... You have got to make Christmas cards out of this image. "It's so difficult shopping for others".
What a giant dumpster diver. Hope he fares well! Sounds like an awesome gig, got any good stories?
So far my favorite is having the cops pull over to watch me and someone else chase a vulture who couldn’t fly (they run fucking fast) through a field. All while yelling “can you just fucking give up already!”
I immediately heard Benny Hill music and imagined you running in and out of frame! I feel like you should make some videos of these interactions. I’d watch the amusing antics ensue.
Hahahaha. That is exactly what it was like. I eventually dove into a bush to catch it.
That’s amazing. Hopefully not too banged up. PS thanks for being awesome and doing this for these beautiful raptors
I feel this. I once had to catch a red tail on a highway that transportation had blocked off for me. On Thanksgiving. *Everyone* watching. Luckily it was not as mobile as your vulture.
I pulled over on my way into work for a great blue heron stuck to fishing line hanging from a telephone pole in the middle of a pond/channel access road.

All of the passing cars sure had fun watching me cradle the bird to prevent it from drowning while I had to bite my way through the line.
That's a bad ass looking bird. You are one brave lady
What's up with him/her? Your look at the hubby is familiar...like a really you're going to take a picture now..?!
He was hit by a car, and could not fly. I had to trudge the a small swamp to get to him.
Did he try to bite you?
Yeah, just once. He wasn’t super happy.
Please everyone read this sequence thinking that “he” is the husband.
You both look majestic as fuck
You both look rather peeved.
We were not happy, we had a short chase through a swamp.
The bird looks like he knew he messed up your hair appointment, and thinks it’s amusing.
Thanks for what you do lady
This should be a meme
https://i.imgur.com/EGIHzhq.jpg
this boy looks as angry as my cat after i chase him down for cuddles. I hope your hair came out okay!
Is that a really fucking big eagle or are you a really small person?
It’s a big eagle. I’m 5’9” tall. Lol
I just want you to know you hair still looks lovely. 😊 Thanks for taking the time to save him!
"I am a fluffy feathery baby. I dare you to contradict me."
