The Philippine Eagle and his Keeper

[n3iljay3]

Sorry for my grammar is Asia

[n3iljay3]

Keep em in hacking boxes that will do well like the sucess with Peregrine falcons and Bald eagles.These two species used to be Endangered so hacking is kinda good lets see what will happen with our philippine eagles if they were sent in hacking programs.

[NeonGlowification]

Instead of giving Pag-asa the meat directly, try throwing in the live prey for hunting. Maybe the raptor needs higher male hormone levels to produce more semen..

[Faithsization]

,,,,,5x...hmmm gr8 keeper

[ktyfiend]

Is it a bad idea to let the males and females get together in captivity? Are they that aggressive with each other?

[otanix16]

Make a law that anyone, native or foreigner, who kills or captures a Philippine Eagle shall be penalized. Then advertise that law on TV, on print, on radio, on posters and on the government's website. Protect the forest too. Some corrupt politicians in Mindanao grab lands and destroy the forests there. This has to stop! The wealth of the forest is never meant to only benefit few influential families. The forest is for every Filipino, every bird, every beast who live and co-exist among us.

[DevTitanwood]

When I grow up I want to help the Phillipine Eagles

[morningstar000]

epekto kasi ng 3world country yan kaya nauubos na sila.. mga patay gutom na pilipino kaya kung ano ano nalng kinakain pati philippine eagle

[TheVelociraptor15]

I love Philippine eagles. One of the rarest, largest, most powerful birds in the world

[sheb211991]

Damn, the eagle knows how to strike a pose!!



[HesDaryl]

i hope this bird won't become extinct is so awesome

[MasteredSoundtracks]

I love how he tucks his wings up in slow motion, to say as if "That's right, bitches. Admire me." xD

[paulgnc24]

breeding between human and eagle....is that even pssible?

[debbiesion]

@paulgnc24 It's not breeding between human and eagle...

[nimrod74741]

Wow guy's got heart! and BALLS!

Great job, keep up the good work.

[2006mikko]

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

I don't like how he peppers his Sugbuanon with English and Spanish words.

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

@Zambk938612

Why the hell would he speak English? It's not like he lives in the US.

[XxBryanWolfxX]

they look like nicolas cage.....just saying =x

[pnoy1516]

they look like a rooster when got aggressive of course its 1 of a kind..

[rayman353]

No exotic animals will survive in this country. People will eat it and/or hunt them for $.

[paovics]

friendly eagles!!!

[DrieBier]

Unbelievable that such a beautiful creature is threatened with extinction... he is so beautiful! This really makes me sad. I assume EVERYTHING is done to at least double the population as soon as possible and AVOID THE RISK OF INBREEDING???

This so sad.

[johnrayordas]

PLSSS IM BEGGING U....

SAVE THIS SPECIE FROM EXTINCTION!!!

PLSSS!!!!

PROUD TO BE PINOY!!!

[09059412424]

[FilipinoMusicMaster]

WOW! the philippine eagle (Endangered species) but philippine eagle are cool and awsome!!! :)

[PureJockPureBrit]

The eagle mounts the keeper, so is the keeper saying that the eagle humps him or something? :/

[MilkyStreets]

[1hipster1]

Such amazingly beautiful creatures!

[debbiesion]

He's speaking in Bisaya

[xFaTbAsTaRdx]

@debbiesion nope, hes speaking tagalog

[ZanpaktouMaster1]

@xFaTbAsTaRdx hes speaking bisaya

[totoynani143]

if u really listen to what he's saying,he's speaking English,tagalog,.... visaya?

[jayrskie05]

Proud to be a dabawenyo...

[plus24seven]

English is not their language, I hope you understand that some Groups in the Philippines prefers using their own language... is not that they are uneducated its because they are more nationalistic....

[n3iljay3]

@plus24seven The philippines is the 2nd largest english speaking country in asian and 12th in the world learn about that.

[Luigimanfan26]

Im proud to be a filipino

[debbiesion]

Yes, he is speaking in Bisaya. The Philippine Eagle Center is in Davao City.

[fishNguitars]

Why can I understand this guy? Is he speaking in bisaya?

[simion11]

The way Davaoeños speak bisaya is so different to the way Cebuanos speak. They speak it with a softer emphasis on the vowels.

[zethaw]

@rafaelcrisostomo - what I'm talking about is Natural pairing for "Captive breeding program".. They wont put together a male & female eagle in one cage for just a show.. NO sir!

It's for "Natural pairing!" So that the eagles would breed in a natural way even inside the cage!

There is NO such thing as contested fight among males during mating season as you were saying! the Philippine Eagle is monogamous. Once paired, a couple remains together for the rest of their lives unless one dies.

[95applebam]

poor baby its almost extinct

[95applebam]

@Soulrider77 Shut up DUDE

[zethaw]

@dakinespam - They are using both natural and artificial pairing for breeding program... But natural pairing of eagles has some Disadvantage, every single eagle counts especially If they are critically endangered like the Philippine eagle..

There was an account where a male Philippine Eagle was introduced to a female Philippine Eagle; the larger female eagle easily killed the smaller male eagle and It happened twice! This is a major setback! they are trying to propagate the eagle's population

[xxxLIGERxxx]

eddie needs to put his arm on his head to support this eagles weight.

i would soon visit pag-asa and be awed in his majesty!

[RealspitHiphop604]

these things are huge and immensely powerful.

amazing, gotta love powerful raptors especially eagles

[debbiesion]

Pag-asa is okay, but no news yet if nakapag-breed na sya. Let's hope it happens soon!

[akotabio]

so hows pagasa now? nakapag breed nba?

[alquiora]

That has got to be the most beautiful bird

[surfing636]

I like the way he wears all leather, thus allowing this Majestic Bird to perch on his head and poke at him on the arms. This keeper is allowing the Philippine Eagle to remain King of the roost. Good job also with eagle program!

[flarbton]

there are so many islands in the Philippines i'm hoping that the actual numbers are not so bleak. Perhaps there are many more and it's just hard to know their exact numbers.

[debbiesion]

Me too, I feel amazed looking at the Philippine eagle. I feel lucky that such a majestic bird lives amongst us.

[thestrugglewithin]

@debbiesion

imagine what you'd feel like if you saw Haasts eagle around today.

[whistlepoet]

I've been coming to the Philippine Eagle Center for 2 weeks straight now. I love to visit the majestic Philippine Eagles at least once a month from now on. They are incredibly beautiful. I was just standing at the foot of Pag-asa's aviary this morning and just looking at him and admiring this beautiful bird completely took my breath away. It always does every time I visit them. It never gets old. Always a breath taking experience. Looking forward to seeing them again next week...

[pachinkuro08]

philippine eagle in captivity are smaller compared those from the wild..

[MrDbm174]

truly amazing eagle...their plight as an endangered species have to be known throughout the world...and we must do something, otherwise they will be extinct in the not so distant future.....it looks so regal......

[SuperJulz007]

philippine eagle is the most beautiful bird in the world

[freagle7]

u have no idea how much i am dying to see the biggest, but one the most beautiful eagle in the philippines. one of the most impressive eagle of the eagle family!

[jairus1230]

man iv been here before miss this place.

[jayzcc83]

we must protect these animals it is for our future... this is the year for to wake up philippines and do something. i wish i can vote for the incoming election but i gave that up to become a US citizen.

[wackyraces12]

Best clip at 0:39. Was shocked when it happened, swooping and landing on his head.

[KingRaffers]

Guapo talaga ang Philippine Eagle

[HiWay69s]

i understood everything he said & i'm not filipino

[ZanpaktouMaster1]

@HiWay69s there are subs lol

[debbiesion]

iVuDang: Yes, ideally, the birds should be free, but out in the wild they are endangered because they are hunted, captured, or killed by people who don't know any better. The conservation work of the Phil Eagle Foundation involves educating locals about the importance of the eagle so they themselves will protect the eagle. It hasn't always been successful, but it's worth a try.

[rcadag]

@debbiesion yup, there was once, was it in the early 2000's, that a native ate a newly released bird.

[iVuDang]

they are so beautiful. I can't imagine being a bird and being caged. They are meant to stretch their wings and roam freely in the sky with fresh air blowing by them.

[bobolink222]

thanks to overpopulation and the mighty philippine eagle is on the critically endangered category. Humans are encroaching the eagle's natural habitat plus logging and hunting makes the situation worse. I hope the nxt president will do something 'bout this tsk...tsk....

[jalenruskie]
