Murphy The Eagle Fosters Another Stranded Eaglet | Living St. Louis

Murphy, the famous eagle from the World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park, Missouri, is fostering an eaglet for the second time.
The bald eagle’s story first went viral in 2023 after he built a nest and tried to hatch a rock. Soon after trying to hatch the rock, the then 31-year-old eagle was given a foster eaglet who had fallen out of its nest.
In Spring of 2024, Murphy was given another eaglet who came to the sanctuary under similar circumstances. #murphytheeagle #eagles #animalrescue

    I absolutely love that Murphy the Eagle has been given another Eaglet to care for. It would be awesome if all Eagles who are no longer able to be out in the wild can also be able to foster parent an Eaglet in need so the Eaglet will be able to go back out into the wild and live like an Eagle and hopefully be able to also have a family of their own too. Thank you sweet Murphy and humans too for helping this Eaglet get love and the care that it needs from an Eagle rather then a human.👏🏻👏🏻🥰❤️🙏🦅🦅❌⭕️

    It’s Murphy’s advanced age and strong nesting instincts that made him the ideal foster parent - which is the extreme exception rather than the rule. Fostering eaglets from a brood other than one’s own isn’t instinctual to eagles - or even something they’re interested in. Except for the bird they’ve pair-bonded with, they’re quite competitive for food and territory. Among wild eagles, parents generally put themselves before their offspring. Just this year, Big Bear’s Jackie ate two of her own eggs (though non-viable) - and in Shepherdstown WV, a father killed two of his own eaglets and ate them. Viewers also watched in horror on KZread’s livestream as PA’s famous eagle “Duke” killed and ate his first-hatched. Eating one’s own hatchling occurs because eagles often don’t recognize their own young. Eaglets are defenseless against adult eagles - and there is ordinarily a very high risk that an eagle will view an eaglet - especially not of their own brood - as prey. So providing captive eagles with “the opportunity to foster an eaglet in need” would prove utterly disastrous - if you’re hoping to raise that eagle for future release. The professionals know what they’re doing.

    Go Murphy! 🦅 Dad Eagles seem quite hormonal and capable of raising young; one in SWFL raised his chick alone after the mother disappeared, another in Big Bear was hesitant to stop incubating 60-day-old nonviable eggs, even after the mom gave up.

    They probably has strong parental instinct as a mother since most birds raise chicks together. Some species more than others, eagles turns out to be that.
