Most of the time when a bird is captured, usually for the purpose of bird banding, they will try and stay as clam as possible, most birds understand that moving around and screeching will put them at a higher risk for getting hurt or even killed. As long as the handler stays calm the bird will also stay calm. The eagle after a while, like what you said, was most likely able to figure out she wasn’t going to be eaten after a while of being handled.

@@sherlybird6788 Thank you for explaining it so well. I didn't know that. That's interesting.

@@kooxaldoxt5162 a baby that would rip your face off. He handled her well.....but she should have covered her head. They're far calmer when they can't see. Note he did say she bit him and that it was fairly nasty.

I always wonder if they describe us as like hairless primates. Those soft skinned creatures with the hands. And if they recognize that we are what is controlling a vehicle or if they think vehicles are their own creature stuck on the hard black rivers.

I honestly hope she forgets theres so many humans that will harm wild animals that its best to not have them trusting humans at all bc humans are pretty freaking evil a lot of the time

The Eagle just thought it was its chance to escape its captors.

@@aftersexhighfives best comment of the month!

The video is really proof that we have a Creator.❤️ Did you know bald eagles have eyes that are 8 times sharper than ours?! They could literally see a rabbit from 3.2km (2 miles) away and spot fish underwater! Their feet even have a grip that’s 10 times stronger than ours! This means they could lift a human baby or 24 billiard balls! Bald eagles also build the largest nests than any bird. They can be up to 4 meters (13 feet) deep, 2.5 meters (8 feet) wide, and weigh up to 1 ton. They use the same nest for years and add new material every year. Some nests have been used for over 35 years! (And their brains are as big as a walnut!) We really live in a detailed world.😌 A world that certainly did not exist by accident, but invented!

My father was a veterinarian in Sparks, Nevada, and the designated vet for the Nevada Fish and Wildlife. He took in a Golden Eagle whose wing was broken, pinned it, and isolated the wings so the break could heal. (I was in school and didn't get to witness the surgery.) The eagle was placed in a cage and was fed by fish delivered by a warden of the Nevada Fish and Wildlife. I do not remember the length of time we had the Golden Eagle but I remember my father opening the cage wearing thick leather welding gloves to feed the eagle. The eagle would rock back on her back and present her talons in a very threatening way. I wasn't there when the game warden came for the eagle, but we heard that the eagle was released and had been seen many days afterwards. Very majestic raptors. I was grateful that my father's surgery was successful. We received a wide variety of birds of pray and mammals from the Nevada Fish and Wildlife game wardens. It was very cool and rewarding.

I think you would be surprised with how many people like Emmet are out there. I think the majority of us are. Life has a way of beating us down and often times we only see the worst of people, but have faith. Human beings are amazing creatures and most of us are eager to do good.

@@fightmilk8613 you’re correct. I would be surprised if I saw that MOST human being are eager to do good. That’s just not what I have experienced during the time I’ve been alive. Most humans are opportunists and greedy. There are SOME that are genuinely good but I wouldn’t say most.

İts not amazing actually it is nature. Billions of years of evolution

Он своей душой чувствует

It's amazing becoz all animals are instinctively aware of Human beings which are considered prime of creation . They instinctively recognise us , fear us and try their best to avoid us . A predator in the jungle also tries to avoid humans as best as possible unless he is forced due to hunger . It is amazing and it is becoz they all share similar psyche of humans . They were informed by God the designer of all things who we are. All animals instinctively have knowledge about us . They know that we are not monkeys nor we are elephant . This is why Animals are known to buzz around Human beings who help them despite of their detriment to their survival. Their is a spiritual relation which far exceeds the material outlook of Modern science. This doesn't means that one has to throw away evolution as the crucial step . Nobody debates on the authenticity and feasibility of the existence evolution except it's mechanism. Their is more to Life than so called random matter colliding with each other . All life have soul and it's is a transcendental immaterial energy that permeates in all living beings. Their is a reason why we are still learning .

@@user-ud5rq8yf8u it's becoz Darwinist understanding is reductionist and doesn't takes any account of spiritual substance. It's devoid of any spiritual explanation . Evolution does happens but not probably through what darwinists want us to believe . Definitely not through a random selection but a guided one .

Animals can sense it becoz Animals regardless of where they live know who we are and what we are. This sounds very unscientific as it doesn't fits the material science but it is a fact . Animals know this very well despite of who they are where they live regardless if they have made any human contact or not .

there is no doubt in my mind that those talons could rip his muscle and tendons (that is what they are designed to do after all) also no doubt the eagle would have drowned due to exhaustion if they had not pulled it from the water, 10/10 will watch again

I can confirm, even a smaller raptor can really mess you up. As a kid I watched my dad "rescue" a hawk stuck in the chicken coop. And it was like a scene out of a 60's Looney Toons cartoon.. Safe to say the hawk faired way better than my old man.

Just like stray dog rescues. They are terrified at first. Then they realize you only want to help, not hurt them…..they usually always calm right down. This creature is very intelligent. What an amazing experience

Pure instinct. Settled down, because Darwinian evolution did not program her for this "human holding me" situation - nothing stimulated any of "fight, flight, eat or hump". The biting was "fight", would have gone postal if it had shown promise. That guy is lucky to have all his eyes and fingers.

Yes! They must reason - maybe instinctively - that if a test bite doesn't get an aggressive reaction, then they are in safe hands. Literally. Fascinating insight into fauna behaviour 👍🤩.

That little beak click (bird equivelent to smacking lips) means she was happy when she calmed down. My family's Silkies also like being held to our chest sort of laying on their back. Guess that position makes birds feel safe.

Pamela A. If he was in the USA it's our national bird, and they are protected. It's illegal to trap, kill or keep them

Both the bird and the rescue were/are magnificent. But the fact that the bird has been turned by humans into a symbol of something else does not make its rescue more important than the rescue of some other bird or nonhuman animal. All such rescues are wonderful.

@infoslinger you hear a lot of this type of talk over the years, like the mother will reject its young because of the scent of a human. Another, a Cockatoo speaks and the crackle reject it, or even kill it. This is hearsay, old wives tales. I really doubt your statement is anywhere near true, but KZfaq is a great place to perpetuate myths.

Yeah, I found 3 baby owls from a fallen tree. The mother had taken off so I put them, they were in their nest, on top of my van. It too 3 or 4 days b4 I could get wildlife service to come get them. I just dropped bugs, worms in their nest....some ground round pieces. I found out they hissed, much like the sound of a mad cat. They looked like grayish wads of fluffy cotton....way too cute ❤.

@@merlith4650 haha

@@robertcorbett9455 clearly my comment went above the heads of some of you people. humans seem to be consistently incompetent at reading animals, because they just project their own emotions onto the animal. Trying to equate a wild animal simply looking in your direction as a "sign of trust" is completely delusional. First of all, why would it "look" for comfort? It's a separate spieces with completely different instincts, social dynamics and body language than a human. Just the very concept of meeting eye contact will have completely different meanings in other parts of the animal kingdom. And why would a non-domesticated animal even find the presence of a human comforting? It doesn't know humans, and has no clue that it's current entrapment is any better than being in the river. The fact that the person above me is arguing that it was looking for a "cue" to see if the other person could be trusted is just an example of how much you people live in a fantasy world. Because not only would that make the assumption this eagle practically got the animal equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome within a few minutes of being captured, now it can also apperantly understand and use our human body language... how you people don't realize the insanity of your perception is beyond me. This sort of anthropomorphic mentality towards wild animals is the same thing that gave us incidents like Timothy Treadwell.

Interesting. Our eagle from Poland can swim. Yours can't?

That unexplainable feeling you described, actually has an explanation. The Bible says what humanity's real purpose on Earth is, in Genesis 1:28. "Further, God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.” God put us in this world to look after it, and all the animals as well. When we do that, we are fulfilling our purpose, and we get that great feeling you described.

It's very tough when a friend suddenly says a ghastly thing about animals, or how hunting makes them feel alive, or just laughs at the sight of a stray. VERY TOUGH. Who can stand them after that?

@@beerhorizons I live with, and parent two rescue cats, and one my daughter brought home 18 yrs ago. I dug Pip out of a wall when he was a kitten, and a friend of my wife's brought Pepper to us after she realized she was being physically abused. Now pip is my right-hand man and won't leave my side, and Pepper went from cringing/jerking at hands to flopping on her back and exposing her belly, or raising her head for pets. We nicknamed Binky (our 18 yr old), "Little Spoon" because he loves to lay at my stomach when I nap, or sleep. My cats aren't "like" family members because they ARE family members. Animals are an incredibly accurate barometer for sensing negativity. People can fool other people, but they can't fool cats.

You are not alone there are more of us than you know who care about animals.

Hello How are you doing

You are so lucky.

you're absolutely right. this was a special circumstance because it sounds like they were riding through rapids and that the eagle had been fighting some of those strong currents, and they could tell she was getting exhausted. Eagles can swim well enough in a lake or in a calm current, like you said, but they're not really built for swimming at length through strong ones.

Thanks for the explanation. Knowledge is power.

@@eldupont3095 honestly sounds like they wanted views while holding an eagle. the people who watch this channel eat anything up when it’s comes to a human supposedly rescuing an animal. they could’ve taken it right to shore instead of holding onto it all that time.

@@schaumboy11 you could be right. it could also be true they were worried the animal was injured and needed rehab before being released. It's pretty common for well-intentioned people to get the animal checked and let the professionals decide if it can be released right away or not.

Very beautiful story, only part was why would you be wearing a mask improperly, and outdoors in the wild to let an eagle go? Cmon how silly is this virtue signaling.

You did the right thing staying calm and taking care of the bird and drying it off and keeping it warm. It knew you were trying to help which is why it stayed calm because you were calm which helped it.

Sometime later, they found themselves coincidentally sailing through the area where they found the bird and it swooped out of nowhere. When it recognized them it kept flying next to their boat. They took a few pictures. It was strange seeing it floating in midair only a few feet from the boat. I guess it was trying to say 'thank you'.
