  1. Just heard eagle died,so sad

  2. Poisoning rates should be illegal 😑πŸ₯²πŸ˜‘😑πŸ₯²πŸ₯²

  3. She has passed away. RIp MK.

  4. we have rat poison we use here in Hawaii, that needs an owl or hawk to eat 35 lbs of dead rats before getting a fatal dose…. iow NEVER

  5. extremely common bird…
    fwiw, wild breading pairs of Bald Eagles are found in 49 of the 50 states.
    try guess which state no have wild Bald Eagles??? Aloha

  6. Sorry to inform, however this Eagle has since indeed passed away today from what I’ve heard.

  7. I wonder if all those Alien abductions were just Aliens trying to help humans get better by probing them? πŸ€”

  8. Why can't people quit using poison rat?

  9. As someone who owns several parrots, that eagle was absolutely looking deathly ill… The wings being stretched out, as seen while the bird is on the ground, is the biggest telltale sign of "I don't feel good and might die". Glad they fixed the birdie up. Also it's a federal crime to touch those birds, and even own a feather from one… so I hope they don't get in trouble for it.

  10. A bald eagle , that ate a poisonous rat, in Arlington cemetery. If that's not an omen I don't know my rutabagas.

  11. The eyes on this beautiful eagle are absolutely gorgeous. I’m glad she was caught and getting the care she needs. Hope she will be able to get released soon and back to full health.

  12. Here's a comment for you the Native Americans in Alaska have open pens for injured Eagles while they're recovering so their mates can come down and visit them that's all you need to do

  13. Ever thought of not putting out rat poison around your yard in close quarters chief??? πŸ˜…πŸ˜„πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

  14. Is this a subliminal message

  15. What a beautiful creature. I hope she makes a full recovery.

  16. Ban rodenticides (rat poison) nationwide!!

  17. πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ€ πŸ€ πŸ€ πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜

  18. This is the perfect allegory for freedom. We are free in the sense we can roam β€˜as we please,’ but we are so poisoned we can no longer soar anywhere. As a society, we’re just sort of stumbling around to the point we need to be carried and fed an antidote.

  19. I hope she didnt feed her chicks the meat from the poisoned rat. Rat poison needs to be banned

  20. Ukraine's losses per day:

    535 servicemen;

    8 armored vehicles;

    9 cars;

    Self-propelled howitzer "Acacia";

    Howitzer D-20;

    2 D-30 howitzers;

    The APU ammunition depot was destroyed.

    During the day, 93 artillery units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were defeated in firing positions, manpower and equipment in 162 districts.

    Six HIMARS multiple rocket launchers were shot down.

    Eight Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed in the air.

  21. i hope she gets well

  22. I hope she recovers. She's beautiful.

  23. She was sickened that her namesake team was robbed in the Superbowl. It wasn't rat poison

  24. Will she be okay??😭

  25. Poor thing. Please let us know if she's gonna b ok?
