poor eagle, she wants to have a baby :( get her some mail who can make her dream come true, she would be the happiest of all in the world. Believe me, i know what i´m talking about ;D
aren't these endangered? and I'm assuming this is a bird sanctuary. you should try to get her used to males, then you can release the babies into the wild.
@CowieMooCowxo87 : MooCow- golden eagles are not endangered in the United States. Reversing severe imprinting has yet to be undone, and since golden eagles are not endangered captive breeding of this specific individual is not really an issue of urgency.
@Berkutchi oh I see, but yeah I still think it would be cool for people to breed them a little bit just to KEEP them off the list. & what do you mean by imprinted? that just means she was never socialized with males or something? is she able to be around other animals at all?
@CowieMooCowxo87 : imprinting refers to what happens when one species at their youngest age, associates with another species and does not learn appropriate behavior for their own kind. The female was raised improperly by humans from about two weeks of age until 12 weeks. Subsequently she thinks humans are a food source and she never learned to hunt. She was released and had to be recaptured. She tolerates humans quite well, however, she is very aggressive against other eagles.
@FairyUselessWords : The egg is infertile because it has not been fertilized by a male eagle...basic biology. This is due to the fact that this female is severely imprinted (as stated above) and she would kill any male who attempted copulation.
Jshamwow: It is not illegal for any birds to lay eggs, nor is it illegal for us to have the raptors we care for, so what does your comment relate to? Are you illegal? Or are you confused? Cheers, and thanks for watching!
@jshamwow According to the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, it is illegal to disturb, harm, or own any bald or golden eagle without a permit. That said, I sincerely doubt this organization would be working without one.
Some of the posters here shouldn't display their ignorance so quickly.
how many do you have? Do you breed them or are they just your pets or both? No doubt they are definitely gorgeous. How much success have you had in training them and how compliant are they normally with their master's orders or do they sort of do whatever they feel like doing like cats usually do?
@persiano2 . Currently we have 29 raptors. This includes 4 eagles. Raptors are quite amenable to being trained. Falconry is one example, but they are not pets. they are wild animals and ultimately behave as such. Your analogy to cats has some merit.
Wild golden eagles typically live 20-25 years, however, a wild golden in Scotland was ringed/banded and lived 36 years. Ringing or banding a bird is just a way of tracking it with a metal or plastic numbered anklet. In captivity they can double or even triple wild lifespans and achieve 60-75 years. We had a male who lived 55 years but then succumbed to a West Nile Virus infection.
The female has not had the eggs fertilized by a male. Just like most of the chicken eggs from the store. As an imprint she has no sense of other eagles and would kill any male who attempted copulation.
Imprinting is the term which describes what happens when a newly born/hatched animal begins developing behavior by modelling itself after what feeds and takes care of it. Homo sapiens imprint to their parents, however, in the famous story from ancient Rome, Romulus and Remus, they were raised by wolves and behaved accordingly. This eagle was raised by people from 2 weeks of age whihc is why she does not have any normal eagle behavior.
Laying eggs is not something they need to learn. It is an innate process that begins at a certain age (depending on species) and is initiated by changes in photo-period, temperature, etc. These changes prompt hormonal changes in both sexes and as spring approaches at our lattitude (Denver) behavior changes are evident of the upcoming season. For more on this, the web has lots of resources...use Google.
It's so sweet but a tough season when your mission is education and the girls are laying and the boys are aggressive. Our RTH and Harris's sit on their eggs yelling at each other for a month before we pull the eggs (their mews are far apart but they can see each other! I wish they could experience the hatching...our fosters do :) and watching them be returned to a nest of babies after we pull the eggs is hysterical

Why is the egg infertile? Did the eagle not mate prior to this laying? Or is she too old to have fertile eggs.
