Wow, what an incredible, awesome sight to see a bald eagle up close, AND to see her interacting with a human in such a calm, gentle, trusting way. The handler has done a remarkable job; no doubt it is not an easy task to gain an eagle's trust. I adore birds of prey, so thank you for sharing this beauty with us!!

It's an incredible demonstration of trust. She lets him manipulate her wing and tap her chest without the slightest flinch, he is totally relaxed while inches from her talons and centimeters from her beak! I believe this is what God intended when he told Adam & Eve that they would be the caretakers of the earth and "rule" over the animals. Not because creatures are there to be exploited, but because humans alone can do things like healing broken wings. We are meant to kindly lead, not be cruel masters. It's truly amazing to get a glimpse into the Garden of Eden like this.

You did the right thing, what a magnificent jewel of a bird!!!!! I envy your contact with her. I have had good luck with even the worst cases... had a baby sparrow in my attic pushed out of her nest by the parents because she had Avian Pox. Left to die, small baby, covered in blisters and so hungry. She chirped all night till I found her! Never thought there was a nest in the attic!! Avian pox is like Small Pox for birds! Also had a huge gash in her leg. Vet visits later, hand fed her to adulthood. Became a strong and very tame sparrow. Rejoined her family in the garden. I fed her live mealworms, vitamins, etc. Worked. Wild animals are very strong. I also rescued several eagles in India, one with a bullet hole in wing. Healed in 3 weeks! He mated on our coconut tree, had offspring, and cried with delight when he saw me. His mate dive bombed us, but he knew we had saved his life. I am so glad you did this for Freedom. Good bird, and great name. Thank you!

Freedom is a beautiful eagle, and I’m thankful they gave her a chance; 99% sure that she could never return to the wild, but still, they cared for her and gave her a chance. And shouldn’t it always be that way? What a privilege it is for this man to be close to such a magnificent creature - to hold her and to have her trust. I can’t think of many things I’d rather do.
