Just when you thought you’d seen everything!

Over a week ago, these two female eagles were found on the ground with their talons locked together, and they refused to let go of each other. Concerned about injuries, they were brought to our medical staff for examination and it was at least another hour before they decided to release each other.

Eagles will fight over food or territory, and it appears these two grappled with one another and fell from the sky as a result. Who can say why they refused to let go, but apparently this isn’t an uncommon thing.

Unfortunately, one of the eagles suffered a broken wing as a result of the fall. The other had minor injuries, which we treated, and she was released a few days later. We have pinned the bone of the wing of the second eagle and we are hopeful for a successful release!
