The Rehabilitation Process
Every rescued eagle follows a carefully managed journey from rescue to release. Here's how we give each bird the best chance at returning to the wild.
Rescue
When an injured or orphaned Golden Eagle is reported, our trained volunteers respond quickly to safely recover the bird and transport it to a licensed rehabilitation facility.
Assessment
Licensed veterinarians perform thorough examinations to diagnose injuries, run tests, and create a treatment plan tailored to each bird's specific needs.
Treatment
Eagles receive medical care including surgery, medication, wound treatment, and physical therapy. Some injuries require weeks or months of intensive care.
Rehabilitation
As birds heal, they're moved to larger enclosures where they can rebuild strength and flight muscles. We ensure they can hunt and survive independently.
Release
When ready, eagles are released back into their natural habitat. We choose release sites carefully to give each bird the best chance of thriving in the wild.
