Murphy, a bald eagle who went viral for incubating a rock instead of an egg, has become a foster parent to an injured eaglet at the World Bird Sanctuary in Missouri. The 31-year-old bird was chosen due to his undying sense of devotion towards the rock, which he mistook for an unhatched offspring. Murphy's adoration for the stone became apparent, with the mild-mannered bird becoming protective whenever approached. The eaglet, which almost died in a storm last month, is now bonding beautifully with Murphy, who is modeling eagle behavior perfectly and becoming a wonderful, gentle papa.
Murphy, a bald eagle who gained fame for incubating a rock, is now caring for an orphaned eaglet at the World Bird Sanctuary in Missouri. The eaglet was rescued after a nest was blown down by high winds, and Murphy was chosen as a foster parent. Wildlife officials are carefully monitoring the bonding process between the two birds, and are taking steps to prevent the eaglet from imprinting on humans. The sanctuary is currently raising funds to provide food for Murphy and the eaglet.
A bald eagle named Murphy at a Missouri bird sanctuary has been taking care of a rock, sitting on it and waiting for it to hatch. When a recently orphaned eagle needed a dad, Murphy stepped up to help. The sanctuary officials say Murphy has a permanent wing injury and cannot fly, so he must remain under sanctuary care. Male eagles play a large part in raising young, so Murphy's behavior with his rock is not unusual.
A bald eagle that went viral for refusing to leave its nest during a snowstorm lost its only chick after the nest fell to the ground. The 2,000-pound nest had fallen from its tree, and one of their chicks, who hatched on March 26, died as a result. The pair of bald eagle parents may try to rebuild a nest in the same area, but it is unlikely that they will lay another egg this year. Bald eaglets have a low survival rate, with over 50% mortality rate during their first year of life.
The bald eagle nest shown on the DNR EagleCam livestream fell from the tree it was on just before 8 o’clock Sunday morning.
