Kid Finds Eagle—But Wait, There’s a Twist

Imagine chilling on vacation and your kid spots something weird by the fence. Turns out, it’s not just any bird—it’s a juvenile bald eagle! The family called in wildlife rescuers, who realized the poor guy was super chill because he was sick with lead poisoning. Now he’s getting VIP treatment at Raven Ridge Wildlife Center, practicing his flying skills and eating like a champ. Fingers crossed he’ll be soaring free again soon! #WildlifeRescue #BaldEagle #FeelGoodStory #AnimalRecovery #Pets

Please all hunters, I know Stainless Steel shot is expensive but, it's so worth it to save precious wildlife that feed on gut piles left behind!💖🤘

Gee, we in Stilwell Oklahoma have lead in our drinking water! Got the letter a couple of weeks ago! So maybe check water resources where he was found.

So happy that this family had the foresight to notify the wildlife refuge for this baby to have a 2nd chance at flying again and hopefully in a safe area.

what about lead weights used for fishing although outlawed many fishermen still use them and the eagles eat the fish with lead in their bodies

Never use poison for rats or mice! They'll be eaten by larger predators and also be poisoned.

I think a lot of you need to do some more research on what birds of prey eat and what fish eat they don't eat sinkers they don't eat rocks they don't eat lead I fed my dog some antibiotics and I hit it inside its food it ate all the food and spit the pill out just exactly what they do with the lead and everything else they don't want to eat they don't eat the sinker I wish people would stop believing what they've told by the fish and game and the government it's sad to see how many sheeple are out there Do your research find out for yourself that none of that's true. while we're talking about lead poisoning let's not forget the California condor that's in about 15 other states California is the only one that complains about the condor and it's not lead poisoning they're still dying and we don't have lead in California anymore no lead shot and no lead bullets explain that..
