Hinu
Is a female Bald Eagle that came to us from Nebraska. In the Ioway language her name means first daughter. We believe she is about seven years old. She in non-releasable because her sight does not allow her to see well enough to hunt. When she is in the flight cage she is at the top of the pecking order.
Vic
Is a male Golden Eagle that came to us from Colorado. We do not know how he was injured, but one of his wings has muscle and ligament damage. This damage has caused him to loose his ability to fly. He is very calm and his favorite food is squirrels.
Eetodo
Is an immature female Bald Eagle. She is about three years old. When she was young she fell out of her nest and a predator took off the first inch of her wing tip. In addition to loosing that part of her wing, the injury caused feather follicle damage which causes the end primary feathers to grow in backwards. Eetodo gets bored very easily and we are constantly keeping her entertained through the use of toy balls and blocks of ice.
Wildman
Is a mature male Bald Eagle that came to us from Nebraska. Wildman is completely blind in one eye. He got him name from the fact the he enjoys flying, but everyone has to watch out since he cannot see well. He has been known to touch you with his wing on accident when he flies. He has also had to get used to being the only male in a flight cage full of females.
Thega
Is a female Bald Eagle that came to us from Oklahoma. Her name means third daughter. At some point, Thega flew into an object and broke her wrist. Unfortunately, it did not heal properly, so over time her flight ability had declined. She is one of the quiet females we have at the facility.
Cinnabar
Is a mature, female Golden Eagle. She came to us from Connecticut. Cinnabar flew into an object while flying and broke her wing. By the time someone found her, her wing had already calcified back. Unfortunately, the bone calcified wrong taking her ability to fly. She is a very calm and kind bird. She loves her squirrels and will attempt to steal Vic's if he looks away.
EJ
Is a mature Bald Eagle from Oklahoma. EJ was shot in Oklahoma. This resulted in his ulna and radius being broken. Both of these bones were exposed to the air for too long and they were not able to be healed. This meant his right wing had to be amputated from the elbow down, meaning he will live the rest of his life without flight due to human action. He loves to talk to us anytime we walk by.
Nebraska #3
Came to us from Nebraska. She was shot by a shotgun. It was shot at such a close range that the shoulder is completely gone. We have to trim her primary feathers to keep the weight off so she can hold her wing up. We have also had to build handy-cap ramps so that she does not have to jump.
Lucky
Was and adult bald found around Sooner Lake. She is our only northern Bald Eagle. She was sitting under some eagle nests. It was found that she had broken her furcula In rehab, she flew into a wall and broke her leg. She was going to be released, but had a small collision with Thega and did not want to fly. We took her to vet where we found out that her furcula had grown back incorrectly and even though she could pass the release tests, she could not make the migration back home.
Dave
Came in with a broken wing. The break in the humerus was to close to the joint to pin and this made him non-releaseable. Dave is very calm and gets along with humans. We hope to make him our education bird.
Dena
Came to us from Nebraska. She is missing the tip of her wing. It is unknown how she acquired this injury, but it makes her non-releaseable because she is unable to fly.
Lessard #1
Is an immature Bald Eagle that came to use from Michigan. She injured her wing and as a result it broke. While it was healing the ulna and the radius fused together. She can fly short distances in the flight cage, but would not be able to fly the distances necessary in the wild.
Shu
Is an immature Bald Eagle from Utah. This bird was shot by a hunter that was hunting waterfowl. The hunter did not want Shu to eat the waterfowl that he was trying to hunt. The injuries resulted in Shu not being able to fly at all.
Fremont
Is a Golden Eagle from Utah. Fremont was hit by a train and an amputation of part of his wing was necessary for survival. Because of this amputation he is unable to fly.
Zuma
Is a Golden Eagle from Utah that was hit by a coal truck. His injuries to his wing have taken his ability to fly and therefore he cannot be released back into the wild.
Sigrid
Is a Golden Eagle from Colorado. Sigrid has head trauma injuries. Currently, this bird is unreleaseable, but head trauma injuries have been known to heal over long periods of time. Hopefully, Sigrid will be able to be released back into the wild in the future.
Hin Tuga
Is a Bald Eagle from Michigan. This bird was captured from the wild. While in captivity this bird had its tail and wing feathers ripped out. This resulted in feather follicle damage and the feathers on the right wing do not grow in correctly. This has taken her ability to fly.
Pete
Pete came to us from Nebraska. He was injured in the wild and had to have part of his left wing amputated. He is able move around his cage well and likes to live in the mini flight with all of the other birds.
Haga
Haga is a golden eagle from Nebraska. The bird lost its wing tip in the wild and entered rehabilitation with a laceration and missing metacarpal bones. Because of this injury he is not able to fly and must stay in captivity. Haga lives with the golden eagles and is fairly quiet compared to some of the other goldens.
Arkansas 1
is a Bald Eagle that was found around a nest in Oklahoma. He was living on the ground and his parents were feeding him when he was found. Upon examination we discovered that his feathers are abnormal. The feathers will grow in perfectly but will break off shortly after they have fully developed. This means he does not fly well enough to be released back into the wild. You can see Arkansas 2’s profile for future information.
Marie
was admitted to a facility in Oregon extremely emaciated and dehydrated. She was also blind in her right eye. With help from a great staff, she was able to regain her normal weight. She was transferred to our facility in 2010 where she is able to fly even though she is blind in one eye. You can see her in our main flight cage.
Bimi
made a long trip to our facility from Oregon in 2010. She was one year old when she entered rehabilitation. In the wild, Bimi flew into power lines which caused her to receive burns to her left wing. These burns did not heal and resulted in part of her wing having to be amputated. Bimi enjoys her time at the facility and is a dominant bird in the mini flight.
Elisha
came from Oregon in 2010 when she was believed to be two years old. She was brought into rehabilitation because she was missing the tip of her right wing and had some of the bones exposed. Luckily, she was handled with great care from a veterinarian who repaired the wing as much as possible. Now, Elisha lives in the mini flight and is one of the dominant birds.
Daylin
is a golden eagle from Utah. He was admitted with an injury to his right wing that affected the position of the feathers. This injury resulted in Daylin losing his ability to have normal anatomical feather alignment which affects his long distance flight. Daylin can be heard giving his opinion many times during the day as he enjoys talking.
Womanje Mi
came to us from Iowa with his right wing tip missing. This injury included the loss of some of his primary feathers causing him to lose some of his flight ability. He was also admitted into captivity with a high level of lead. It is believed that his mate in the wild is TahgaXuha based on observations at the facility in Iowa.
TahgaXuha
came to our facility from Iowa. She was admitted with a compound radius and ulna fracture to the right wing. The fractures were near the elbow which did not allow the wing to heal properly. This ultimately took her ability to fly. She was also admitted into rehabilitation with abnormally high blood lead levels. It is believed that her mate is Neuman #1 based on observations in Iowa when they were both in captivity.
T-bird
came to us from the Tulsa Zoo. He was found in the wild with a broken humorous that did not heal well enough for him to fully regain his flight. T-bird does have some limited flight and you can see him flying around our flight cage.
Grace
came to our facility in 2011 from Nebraska. It is speculated that she was hit by car which resulted in her obtaining a brain injury and loss of sight from one eye. Grace is able to preen, eat, bath, and drink well, but she holds her head to the side sometimes. Veterinarians think that with time her head injury should heal correctly.
Scrapper
is a Bald eagle from Wisconsin. The bird was hit by a car and it caused some neck injuries to the bird. The result is that Scrapper holds his wings away from his body. Overall, Scrapper is a happy bird that likes to talk and lives in the mini flight.
Trapper
was caught by a beaver trap in Wisconsin. This resulted in him losing his middle talon on his right foot as well as an injury to another talon on that foot. These injuries have inhibited Trapper from successfully hunting in the wild and therefore he must live with us.
Winny
came to us from Wisconsin. He had a fracture in his left wing that took his ability to fully fly. He is able to fly some and can be seen in the flight cage.
Salli
came to us from a facility in Oklahoma. Salli had a broken femur that was not properly cared for before he came to our facility. Luckily, our veterinarian was able to perform a surgery that has allowed the bird to walk correctly.
Albert
came to our facility from a location in Oklahoma with a broken wing. Unfortunately, his wing injury was not properly cared for before we acquired him. This resulted in the wing not healing correctly which cost him his ability to fly. Albert is able to move around well despite his injury and has to be watched to make sure he does not steal his roommates extra food.
Woody
came to our facility when his nest was blown over in a storm at Bellcow Lake. We built him a hacking tower to return him to his parents, but his parents did not take him back and he jumped off his platform. This jump caused him to break his femur which did not heal correctly. Now, Woody is in training to become one of our education birds.
Arkansas 2
came to our facility in 2011. He came from the same nest that Arkansas 1 came from and exhibits some of the same problems. It is easy to see that his tail feathers and wing feathers break off which leaves him flightless. It is believed that there is a genetic problem between his parents that cause them to produce offspring with problems.
Nubby
is an immature bald eagle that came to our facility in 2011 from Nebraska. The bird entered into rehabilitation because he had broken his wing in the wild. Unfortunately, it did not heal back correctly and Nubby was constantly dragging his wing on the ground. A veterinarian was able to amputate part of the wing so that he is able to run and jump freely.
Roony
is our newest eagle and he came to us from Colorado. Roony is a beautiful eagle but unfortunately he cannot fly well enough to be released back into the wild. He was admitted with a broken leg, but has also developed some feather problems as well. His feathers will grow in properly but will break off meaning he cannot fly well enough to be released back into the wild.
