It would be awesome if the sanctuary would have a live stream of Murphy and the eaglet that the world could watch. Also include links so those who wish to donate to the care of the birds at sanctuary can do so. It's a win win for all 💜🦅💜🦅
So true! It’s a missed financial opportunity for them. When the baby otters have been rescued, or the hippo Fiona was born early, people watched and donated. I know I did!
I remember when he first tried to brood on a rock, and how we begged for him to get an eaglet. It was so funny seeing that once again, a dad has to dad
@@girl1213 Eagles can live much longer lives in captivity. Captive bald eagles have lived up to 50 years. Murphy could have a whole flock of foster kids by the time he’s done.
@@zlinedavid Not disputing, but he literally is an old man since most birds don't live that long anyway. It's kinda like how humans can live to be 122 years old. Possible, but it's mainly down to luck.
Just Love Murphy! He's amazing! Even though he can't live in the outside world he still gets to have an amazing life! He has taken care of a eaglet that got to be released, What a great job you did Murphy! And now has another one! Simply Amazing! So happy that he got to fulfill his natural urge to be a parent!
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 TH-cam’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.
@@exosproudmamabear558 The story of dad emperor penguins is just amazing! Imagine spending the winter in Antarctica trying not to freeze to death while balancing your single, precious egg on your feet! The dads even save a bit of food for the chick when it hatches in a special pouch in their throats, even though they are starving themselves! 😯
Big Bear has a cool camera stream of nesting bald eagles! One thing I learned from watching it--eagle dads care a lot about their chicks. They come up with strategies to distract mom so they can get time with the eggs and the chicks. If mom comes back and they're not done, they let it be known before they take off. And they love their mates. They bring whole fish right to her to keep her happy and the eggs warm. Eagle dads are a role model!
🎉CONGRATULATIONS MURPHY!!!🎊 Your 2nd baby going off into the wild because of you!! WHAT a wonderful Daddy you are Murphy!! Early Happy Father's Day Murphy. I wish all dads were as loving and protective as you.♥️🦅♥️ 🤗♥️☘️🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦🕊
I’d like to see people who rescue, treat, and release or offer adoption for their animals, be recognized all over the world with a sir David Attenborough medal. Eg. This gentleman, and Lee Asher, and hundreds more. 👍
Relax guys, people always like to compare animals to humans in animal related videos. "This [insert animal] is a better [insert description] than most humans". It's an easy way to get likes.
I'm overjoyed by this! Even though naming a releasable raptor is bad luck, I think we the public need to keep going with the rock theme and very much unofficially call Murphy's second foster baby Petra.
Great on Murphy, he's such a great loving dad. It's amazing and just makes you smile. So glad his last chick was set free. Lovely video to see it fly off into the wild. Great job well done by all. 👍👏💕😍❤️
Wonderful story, we need more positive stories like this, especially on mainstream media with all the hate and discontent and violence in the world. It gives me hope for humanity.
@@genericname2747 stray dogs have a similar problem when they follow tourists expecting safety and generous handouts but the tourists are visiting the tiger preserve or a croc infested river.
You all are so awesome! I really appreciate your hard work, but most importantly your love. It’s wonderful to hear that Murphy has another foster baby! Thank you for everything. ❤️😘
Daddy Murphy your the very best 💙 His "rock egg " helped him prove he could be a great Dad , he raised one eaglet now he is raising his second. True Dad feeding eaglet first 🤗
Murphy came to World Bird Sanctuary as a fledgling (the age of just leaving the nest) from a facility in Oklahoma to be released with another fledgling Bald Eagle that was hatched at World Bird Sanctuary. He unfortunately arrived with a broken leg, but once his leg was all healed a release was attempted. Murphy did not succeed at leaving his release nest and broke his left wing at his elbow. The joint fused together, and Murphy can no longer open that wing to fly.
I've raised SO many stranded barn owlets. All released to happily never see me again. Owls don't imprint like other raptors. Those babies hated me every day I fed them for 6 weeks, even in soft release
Murphy is not a step-dad. He is a dad who stepped up!
Cuck logic
Literally!!
@@chadking375did you just call a bird a cuck
How sweet is this
r/beatmetoit
Murphy isn't raising kids, he is building an army, the wing that shields the egg rules the world.
😂💀
Kinda terrifying, but they’ll be fine, regal overlords! All hail Murphy!
One of the most terrifying movies ever, The Birds!
I'm so happy to hear that Murphy gets to be a Dad again. It's a win/win for him and the orphaned eaglet.

I believe they have tried last year but there's issues with Internet connection and the enclosure
Not happening, they’re in the middle of woods with like no signal
We did get a bunch of facebook posts last year with video clips and commentary. Maybe we can get that again.

I love the sign they had up wishing him all the best hatching his rock... And then he proved the haters wrong by actually making it happen 😂❤
Boy's spending his twilight years being a dad
I can get by that

Sensei understood his assignment.

What is wrong with Murphy where he has to be held in captivity permanently?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Murphy suffered an injury in his youth and has never been able to fly.
That's great! I love exclamation points a lot! As well!
@shanexm3062 Just so Thrilled for him and was Excited. It's just an Awesome story.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465, he has a permanent wing injury that prevents him from being able to fly.
Murphy living his best dad life and saving his species if not passing on his own DNA. Love this so much.
Murphy is the best bird dad. Wishing his new adopted child the best. 💗💗💗
Murphy is 32? That's amazing.
This is so sweet. What a good foster dad Murphy is ❤
He tried to hatch a rock.. thats sad and heartwarming ❤

Or maybe just let nature take its course 🤷
I think humans have interfered enough with wildlife.
@@jenniferlynn3537 all baby animals are defenseless against adults.

Murphy is a better dad than most men out there. Murphy is an example for all Fathers to follow.
Yeah and you can just as easily say that he's a better mom than most mothers out there too.
Most men? OK, maybe SOME men

There should be a kids book written about Murphy, his rocks and eaglets. They could call it “The Nest That Murphy Built”
Congratulations Murphy on this year’s new baby!
I L❤VE this. 🦅 Murphy, keep on keeping on
Congrats to Papa Murphy fostering again.
Grateful for all you do, and Murphy too, WoW THANK YOU!!! (32yrs old too):- ♥️♥️♥️
Great story, and great successful rehab program.
Murphy ROCKS!
I love how whenever an eagle is set free other birds are nearby and terrified by it’s sudden appearance. Scared sqwuaking at 0:59 😂
Imagine being a little bird, chilling in your little nest, then a group of people release an apex predator.
Must be a bit of a shock lol
