| There is a lot of lead around that can poison wildlife. The larger birds, such as eagles, may get lead poisoning if they eat an animal that has been shot with lead pellets or has eaten lead pellets. Currently, lead shor cannot be used on waterfowl, but there is still a lot of old lead shor left in the water! | |||||||||||||||
| The eagle needs a lot of space in which to practise flying, more space than CWRC's 30-foot x 60-foot flight cage offers. The method CWRC uses to exercise large birds to build them up for release is to get them to fly between two posts a couple of hundred feet apart while tethered to a line attached between the posts. Tethering the eagle to the line ensures that it would not fly off before it is physically fit enought to defend itself in the wild. But with all these spaces, practices and help, can the scientists really bring a happy life for the eagle? |
