  • is he/she going to be in a breeding program for the eagles? he/she may not be able to soar anymore but its chicks will have that gift.

  • No. He is too old now, and has been an educational ambassador all his life. Also, male eagles need two wings to mount a female inorder to keep balance during the mating process. Osceolo had his wing amputated at the shoulder at a very young age.

  • GOD Bless you for giving this bird the freedom he has lost with having only one wing,you are amamzing all through the video he is looking around and s engaged in his suroundings, he is happy and you have done this for him, God Bless You Always

  • Thank you for doing that for this magnificent creature. I wish this country was as tight, and together, as you and the bird...no one would even think about trying to punk us out.

  • Bravo - that the magnificient one can return to his real home occasionally is to be applauded. You are an absolute legend. Well Done.

  • Blessings to you for doing this....

  • I volunteer at the National Eagle Center and met you guys back in 2008. We were at your show yesterday and saw a version of this video. Made me think of Harriet our flightless Bald Eagle at the center and your male Bald Eagle. I was so happy to see your show again at SOAR. This video is awesome and so are you guys.

  • YOUR SO COOL, every time I come across this video I'm am personaly forced to watch it again!!! I don't cry like all these other sissy's. That's right, I choke back my tears. It is a great thing Dale and you do to make us lesser beings become a bit more aware of the world around us and how these fantastic creatures let us share it with them. Thank you for being.

  • excelent, beautifull love.

  • beautifull, congratulations

  • This is awesome John!!! I'm sure Osceola felt great flying again...
