Description

During 17 years I had the most interesting experience with Golden Eagles. As a "Bird doctor" I cared about two injured Golden eagles, To my big surprise they started to breed in captivity and during 17 years they got 33 chicks, They all survived and was later released to the wild. What I know of, is one of the released birds 21 years old and still successfully breeding in the southern part of Sweden, My image shown is "King" that I raised by hand for a study reason for my book "Meet the Golden Eagle",
