Have mixed feelings about seeing him in captivity but if that saves his life then I guess it's a good thing.

Way cool video and demonstration and the fact that he does get to free fly!  :2vrolijk_21:

I am thinking if Challenger did not want to come back he wouldn't. Ain't gonna make that bird do anything he does not want to do.

Thanks for sharing such an awesome video.

Wonderful song to go along with it as well.


Now, if we (north of the 49th) could only train a beaver to run out on the ice prior to a Maple Leaf's/Canadien's game.  ;D

Sounds like you're about to undertake quite a challenge there.  Let us know how that goes for you?  :P

All Bald Eagles in captivity today are either being rehabbed or otherwise protected due to debilitating injuries.
These magnificent birds are saved and used to educate the public.
