[Darujistab]

bird seems pretty chill.

[n3rdbear]

@Darujistab and it didn't even have to smoke weed. That's what I like about animals, they don't rely on substances.

[briantotse3]

I would never hold it so close to my face. That thing could pluck your eyes out.

[n3rdbear]

[lmos26]

[emily605080]

[Kalegria918]

@yui4me Being able to hold an animal like her so close to you without fear just shows how strong their bond of trust is

[mattBcollier94]

Most gorgeous bird in the entire damn world.

[Mistepoet]

This is Incredible... i love Bald Eagles.. my parents in colorado from october to feb.. has 6 FAMILYS of bald eagles living in the wild life preserve just outside their back yard... i LOVE these birds

[hmscollingwood]

What a beautiful flying dinosaur. Can I have a date, gorgeous..?

[pureawsome45]

this bird is soooooo " MAJESTIC!!!!!!!"

[MadelynNieuwoudt1]

@MissCedarbridge1 - Freedom's left wing is not working - the bird CAN NOT FLY.  The bird will not be able to hunt for herself, how is she suppose to eat??? How dumb and deaf can you be... wait don't tell me, it might hurt your head :-)

[Emilybudgie]

Do any of you know what occupation this man has? I'd really like to be able to help rehabilitate birds of any species.

[Silvawolf100]

@Emilybudgie Try Wildlife Rehabilitator for these things.

[TheSupertitan53]

0:07 com at me brah

[Sittingprettykitty56]

Freedom is awesome!

[Guoming092]

2 Taliban soldiers found out what youtube was

[MissCedarbridge1]

Freedom sounds more like slavery why dont this man let the birl go home free

[kimchiman1000]

@MissCedarbridge1

Because she would die, as she cannot manage for herself because she cannot fly.

[MissCedarbridge1]

@kimchiman1000 okay but did they really let her free into the wild or did they just keep her as a slave in a cage

[LDUpshaw]

what an idiot. The bird can't fly.  You must be pure stupid

[MissCedarbridge1]

@LDUpshaw that bird can fly now and that man have him lock away in a cage dam how dumb can you be wait dont tell me it might hurt your head

[kimchiman1000]

@MissCedarbridge1

Don't know. I just watched the video like you. But it doesn't look like the bird wants to get away.

[MissCedarbridge1]

@kimchiman1000 it call training thats why

[Melquiadeseljitano]

amos y señores de la supervivencia...que animal tan perfectamente adaptado

[MrNaturerune]

she didn't forget to put her bump it in :)

[dtiydr]

Dam.. its bigger them him..

[teddybrawl]

Absolutely stunning that animal

[TrueCarCrazy]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, this is where schools should teach their children.

[MowKittyxox]

Nice birdy... nice giant birdy... don't rip my eyes out with that big ass beak of yours... no that would be meeeeen...

[foxkuu]

only "one" person hates this video, what the hell?

[RebeckaSarkozy]

I think all animals can have this kind of a bond with human beings if we only give them the chance. If we treat them like beasts, they will act as such. If we show unconditional love, that will be echoed. <3

[AjnosFTW]

Is it only me, or does it look like she smiling a little? :)

[LDUpshaw]

@AjnosFTW

It's just you.

[ryarod]

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[keyz0589]

She's a rockstar

[ADDMOREMAPS]

Great video.Change the name to add bald eagle into it=many more views

[artonka1]

Thank you for sharing! She's stunningly beautiful - majestic! You are so right she knows you are there for her. I love that you've taken care of her and had her best interest at heart - at heart. nough said. Bless you.

Love and Light

[tekkentekken]

omg those birds look awesome , question : lets say you train the birds for yrs will they ever go animal and attack you ?



[tcalcut]

This guy looks like Capt. Bart Mancuso from the movie "Hunt for Red October "

[fernandomfernandes]

Such a beautiful eagle!

[sunny6262]

nice one

[commonthread2]

I wrote a song about an eagle

[commonthread2]

I broke m shoulder in 4 places 1 year ago and it still hurts sometimes I go on drugs to ease the pain but my boyfriend think keeps stealing my t3s I can understand /they r 5 bucks on the street

but you know the damn shoulder thing is sore so I can relate to the eagle but Freedom broke both wings that rough

I am also a song writer and play guitar so you know my right arm I also paint and I love to practice Yoga

this is inspiring Thanks Freedom

[TotalMagna]

Beautiful.

[basspig]

Very amazing how the eagle has gone from wild to tame. It's apparent that this bird realizes she owes her life to the human who rescued her and completely trusts him. Look at how he can touch her anywhere and she doesn't put up a fuss. I can't even do that with my parrots, and they were raised by me!

[to5ov]

Does she fly?

[Justtjenna]

1:08 he's rubbing her tit...????

[TheDigger201]

@Justtjenna lol birds don't have tits you tit!

[SHOCCTROOP]

Very good bird.

[ragazza19]

she is majestic!!

[jaylias]

Incredible birds!! They are so fantastically adapted to their environment!

[8azile8]

dinosaur

[alekshusooooo]

I have to get an eagle <3

[MissDaisy1967]

she is a beautiful bird. very cool to see someone care enough to do whatever they can.

[OneDollarBook]

Talking about eagles is a federal crime.

[cockatoosmom]

She is beautiful. I love your interaction! Beautiful! Thank You!

[AXHEJAZ]

God Bless America! You only see true genuine animal lovers in America only! (please don't reply with retarded comments).

[9amma]

@AXHEJAZ no need to reply your comment was retarded enough...

[aTnavarrow]

Eagles .............. very powerful totem bird ~

[bradjk]

Gorgeous eagle there. I have never seen one in person but I imagine it would be quite breath taking.

[tutlady64]

She is so majestic.

[carlamicaelapecho]

:) me gusta :D

[thegamelover21]

amazing

[345sassygirl]

BEAUTY..

[antaressuper1966]

eagles are so amazing birds, pure majestic love them

[TheLamelyNamed]

Mascot and symbol of American dominance AND middle eastern dictatorship AND Nazi Germany. WTF MANG? This is an evil animal.

[dbertobis]

@TheLamelyNamed This is a stunning and powerful animal, humans are evil.

[haastaboozia]

@dbertobis

I'm sorry you think that humans are evil. This man obviously respects this eagle and she him. What part of this video makes you think this human man is evil? If the eagle thought that, she would have taken bothe his eyes and been gone. 

[dbertobis]

@haastaboozia I actually don't think that humans are always evil. I was answering to TheLamelyNamed who was stating that this eagle was taken as symbol for things such as the nazis or else and he concluded that therefore "this animal is evil". The way humans pick up their symbol and the real nature of an animal are not linked at all.

[pendehassen]

@dbertobis wow. whom ever said is a totAL asshole!... bald eagle you find it only in america! hahaha not germany!... mexico does have an eagle too:!. .. plus..it is humans who pick up symbols..! gosh!:. what a bunch of assholes!

[dbertobis]

@pendehassen Yes I agree.

[abdi1949]

@pendehassen they have bald eagles in africa

[pendehassen]

@abdi1949 well yeah!... but i said that! cuz people relate eagle to europen facist! and north america has one as symbol!:.. Africa do not participate too much in the matter and Bald eagle is better known to the world thanks to US!

[chanctonbury63]

@TheLamelyNamed I dont think I have read anything so stupid in all my life.

[TheLamelyNamed]

@chanctonbury63 Obviously my lad, you have not lurk much, I suggest a good stroll up the darkside of the interbutt.

[chanctonbury63]

@TheLamelyNamed getalife.com

[TheLamelyNamed]

@chanctonbury63

But I already have, how is your basement dwelling lifestyle though?

[solidjdr]

that man is a american badass

[denapuds]

WOW, your my hero Jim! I would love to know what its like to handle such an amazing bird. I would also like to know what part of the country you live in...it looks beautiful where you are.

[meneenerneenerhahaha]

@denapuds "The mans name is Jeff not Jim" and they/we live in the great northwest

[ParisLoOfficialTV]

beautiful bird. ;) 

[benjovi55]

Can you teach it to catch puppies and return them to you? I meant to type "iggles are purty birds."

[Winston2004]

beautiful

[david8837]

in our zoo i uerto rico they have 2 closed in really small cages its really sad i wish i could do somethin

[kirshman80]

she is a beautiful bird

[vexion15]

How come people are able to handle eagles like this? Aren't they prone to attack?

[morena012]

love is the greatest healer!....if the world uses it more often what a great place to be in.

[DOJA3000ify]

wooow that is so cool

AWESOME thumbs up

[MrMarcusx5]

WOW she is stunning..and what a fortunate guy to be so close to her. Absolutely BEEAAUUTIFUL!

[SuperFermel]

amazing... I hope everyone think the way you think ^_^

[pyrointeam]

Beautiful! Absolutly!

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

It could rip his eye out in a split second, but it treats him as if he is one of its own kind. Quite the bond they have.

[CheddarBob39]

@ToothpickMcBrainy

yeah, that's why I would be scared to be holding it.

[duffmanohya3]

you want to see eagles...come to nova scotia.......we have all kinds.....

[Helaku]

such a beautiful animal! It`s sad there are only very few eagles left here in Europe. :(

[cjwright79]

What a beautiful specimen.

[Lagdoo]

I just realized if you change the beak it definitely looks like chicken!

[yessumyecrad]

aw, look at her little head puff!!

[BlinkinFirefly]

@yessumyecrad i know i love that! she is absolutely GORGEOUS!

[SpeedBich]

This story is so touching. Jeff said that eagles can touch your very soul. So true

[xMintyChameleonx]

I have worked on and off at Sarvey since I was 12 years old. Freedom is really stunning and beautiful. What Jeff and her have together is something that Kay had with her (rest in peace, Kay) Sarvey is amazing to all it's animals, and working for them is really a once in a life time thing.

[thaghost1988]

I love all birds but the bald eagle is by far the most stunning and majestic

[lovsoup]

She's SO Trusting of you. She's Gorgeous!! Thank you for giving her a chance

[ReconRaptor]

Eagles look so serious.

[agela222]

I would like to meet Freedom one day at Sarvey Wildlife Center. And Jeff of course for being so amazing with her. They are both inspiring. He has a beautiful book about his story.

[Solja2010]

love eagles, lions, peacocks and elephants. those are my favorites!

[Swiftpaw]

I got to see this beautiful girl today! It'll be awhile before I get in her flight with her, as I've got a lot to learn but seeing all the residents at Sarvey was awesome. I have to say I have a special fondess for the Saw-whet's that are there right now.

[junkheadrev]

0:58

Freedom the eagle:whoa buddy,wheres your hand going

[prizmznla]

Gorgeous bird.

[SeamusCallan1]

That is an incredibly tolerant raptor.

[AKSpartanKiIIer]

@SeamusCallan1 It's used to being handled. That's why. 

[Spyker54]

she looks so pretty

[NightSord]

looks like a chicken!

[darkskullz246]

im surprised shes not biting you when you touch you they are usually alot more aggressive

[KnotAlice]

These birds are truly beautiful and stunning No wonder they are Americas national emblem.

[pla1554alaska]

Very interesting video. How did she get her wings broken? Is she ever going to be able to go out into the wild? If you look at my eagle videos you will see I have them around me all the time. I have been lucky to not see any injured but have heard of them being injured in town and got help for them. I am glad you are there for Freedom! Thanks for sharing.

[Swiftpaw]

@pla1554alaska I believe Freedom is unfortunately a permanent resident at Sarvey, but she get's the best care possible, and she's a well loved bird.

[maxeythecat]

That is one of the most magnificent creatures I've ever seen......indeed, Freedom is the spirit of our country. Absolutely beautiful.

[Lulaly100]

I love this, keep up the good work and a big thankyou for saving this birds life!

[Polkijuyh9470]

@BigBuddyAlex If you kill an Eagle,I WILL FIND U.

[Muneef63]

That's not a condor it's an eagle but it's stell sweet

[TheJoey3590]

is it true that one false move and the eagle could poke your eye out and you die?

[WeWillNotGoQuietly]

@TheJoey3590 I seriously doubt it you have your eye ripped out, you'd die. It would be very painful, yes; but you won't die, unless you stand their and do nothing for a couple of hours.

[jacquetee31]

an amazing story of love and courage

[sallyblack13]

WOW

[MossMan5000]

cool vid i love eagles, he has a telepathic connection to its consciousness

[sethboy66]

@MossMan5000 I think he meant that they communicate with touch, you don't have to say anything she just knows. Like how a cat or a dog can tell when you are sad.

[darthgreivous]

She is a majestic animal... absolutely stunning.

[redeemedbychrist1]

@darthgreivous I agree Beautiful animal, I think my favorite kind of animal

[swaga]

"we communicate inside"

gross

[chjohnst]

@swaga how is that gross? birds cant speak english or to humans - he has a connection with the animals spirit thats an amazing thing to have.

[swaga]

@chjohnst clearly you didn't get it

[chjohnst]

@swaga clearly.

[swaga]

@chjohnst maybe one day champ

[TheExoticAnimal]

@swaga  you have a messed up mind..... gross....

[deskew0309]

FUCKIN LOVE ARE BIRD AMERICA!

[lcyjan]

[pollyparrot28]

Thanks for you e-mail that i recieved this morning. Sadly, Tommy is no longer with us.

[Hoppy689202]

PLEASE....give us more videos of Freedom!! What a heart-warming story! The world needs to see you two! My favorite part is when you said you "communicate inside". I can see that with you two!

Get Freedom "out there" on the internet. Her story can teach so many. She is so fortunate to have found you....and the likewise.....

[sharontrout]

Thank you so much for sharing "Freedom" with us, May the Good Lord continue to bless you and keep you!!! Sharon Trout, Ohio

[FireFytingNut]

amazing, gorgeous and beauuutiful bird!!!

[dana8567]

Thank you for sharing that with us. She is just beautiful and the relationship you have proves that there is alot more to animals than people can imagine.
