Bald Eagle #18-0132 update

On June 13, veterinary staff determined that the wound on Bald Eagle #18-0132’s foot had been healing extremely well and no longer required daily checks. After applying a smaller bandage that would not affect the eagle’s ability to properly perch, it was moved to a small outdoor enclosure.

On June 25, veterinary staff will check the eagle’s wound and bandage in addition to evaluating its overall body condition. If no complications are identified, the eagle will be transferred to a larger outdoor flight pen and begin a daily exercise regimen to improve its strength and stamina.
