The great Philippine eagle seems more like a creature from a story than that of reality. Standing at a metre tall, with a 7ft wingspan and dagger-like talons, they are truly formidable animals, but with just 400 pairs left in the wild, are the most endangered raptors in the world.
In December 2019, a young female Philippine eagle was miraculously rescued from the ocean off the south coast of Mindanao. The bird was starving, exhausted and after changing hands several times, was taken to the Philippine Eagle Foundation for rehabilitation. She was named 'Maasim'.
On news of Maasim's story, biologist, Dan O'Neill, heads to the Philippines to follow her journey back to the wild. But after a major setback, the mission is turned upside down...

Hello everyone! We have been overwhelmed at the response to Queen of Birds, and are extremely happy everyone has enjoyed it so much! Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to the channel and check out our other wildlife content every week.
I'm interested with the musical score to hear the full version, it gives so much power that tells to the world how Queen an Eagle is. I want to know where I could find it as I ve heard it before somewhere. Thanks for sharing.
@@byaherongmanok Hey Lolito you can hear the score at mylesmcleod.co.uk it’s all original work, enjoy!
@@mylesmcleod2270 Wow! Thank you for my making my dreams come true! 😍
Why can’t we introduce the Philippine eagle’s species to other forest lands such as Borneo and Indochina where as a threathened specie it could have more forest to roam and thus more likely able to propagate its number. Philippine dwindling forest doesn’t bode well to the survival of the species.
@@osmondcalupad5918 I'm no expert but I think it needs more research because as we all know the Philippine eagle is a top predator so it might prey and wipe out smaller endemic species of the islands they are introduced. Geography plays a part also. However that's a good idea to save the specie just make sure not at the cost of other species. :)
Give this documentary an award!!! Who's with me?
I Agree
Agree
The best documentary
How sad na foriegner ang gumawa at hindi pinoy.
Agree!!
I’d so love to donate to save them. They’re not just Philippines’ treasure. They’re this world’s treasure. 🥺
Cornell university does work too
I love you
Please sir. God Bless you more!
Very true. This specie is critically endengered. This is not just philippines, the whole world should unite to help preserve and conserve the philippine eagle. We all should save them from extinction. :(
🙏
The names they give to these birds are so creative.
Bighani means to fall in love or in awe.
Pamana means Inheritance or Legacy
Pag-asa means hope.
There is another one which is Makilala-Hiraya. Makilala is the town she's found and Hiraya means "the fruit of one’s hopes, dreams and aspirations",
I love their Filipino names. Ang ganda pakinggan.
Lovely names. I love how when they examined Bighani, she only reacted as if to say 'What do you think you're doing??'. The love and care these birds are shown is wonderful. Hopefully the enforcement measures against poaching, etc, will being to bear fruit.
i cant agree more 😁😁♥️
What nonsense

“Because of him, all the animals here have a future. This forest is safe.”
Truly, this bird is king.
The forest is not safe it keeps getting destroyed 90 percent has gone already how much longer do the people there need before they need to wake up and look down at their feet and see what they are shovelling you usually find it's brown and smells
Yes, indeed. The documentary is titled 'Queen of Birds' but the Philippine Eagle's epithet is the King of Birds.
I really don’t understand the people giving the thumbs down, heartless. I hope the foundation gets more funding.

Beautiful documentary.

Thank you for your advocacy god bless the phils.
Wow, i've met Jason Ibanez when he was still a rookie biologist in the Philippine eagle center, he was monitoring the wild eagles nest deep in a jungle in a local mountain. Now i see him as director of conservation time surely flies. We need more heroes like him.
A flying bird is common sight to see. But a flying and gliding Philippine Eagle? Man, that's pure joy.
Thank you for bringing this content to us.
Hi , I am from Indonesia and bird watcher ethusiast especially raptor. We have Nisaetus Bartelsi as a national bird and critically endangered that need extrain protection and conservation. I also feels very happy sharing joy with you seeing the Philipine eagle flying in their nature territory . The Philipine eagle is just an amazing bird we all need to take care for our next generation to come.
Just googled it: wow, the Javan Hawk-Eagle is also quite fantastic.
i just checked the bird online and it’s absolutely beautiful
Nisaetus floris is also rare
That's one gorgeous bird, sir!!

So much emotion looking at the Philippine Eagle flying freely.
Please protect our Ph eagle at all cost.
At the end she showed up, coz' she know you are waiting for her, she fly, spreading her wide wings, and fly around to show you that she is grateful to be free and she loves the title as the "QUEEN OF ALL BIRDS". Huge respect to you bro, this is a world-class documentary that every people should watch to learn about Philippine Eagle. More power!
You are right what comes to my mind she showed up because she has visitors.amazing bird
The Philippines has some of the most unique animals including the rare deer, however the country needs to do more when it comes to enforcing and preserving their animals. These animals are practically going extinct in front of your eyes due to hunters with air rifles, miners and loggers tearing down forest. Such a shame.
they need more funding
I agree ;-;
U mean australia ll animals their are unique im just sad that they think everythong is about ph

He is so beautiful I cried while he is soaring and flying and checking his territory. Glad that the Philippine Eagle is printed on PH passport now 😊
Great our symbol is eagle & our Philippine flag has a meaningful color,our national anthem has all the meaning & dedication for love of the country.Hoping& praying that will rise,shine &fly again.Our GOD who created all things beautiful will help us make again.Thanks be GOD

Same, it's very Majestic and Enchanting!!
that' s what I felt too !
When we went hiking in Mt. Mazaraga (near the peak), we actually saw an eagle. It made a noise that’s why we took notice of it. It was my first time seeing it flying and it was amazing. Seeing it roaming the area was breathtaking.
This is so beautiful. Seeing the Philippine Eagle flying free just brought me to tears.

The sad thing is many Filipino students and adults are not aware how unique, how important, and how endangered the Philippine eagle is.
Well at least not in Davao Region...most of our Biology subject requires us to visit the place in Malagos...to be at least knowlegeable about it, to know its importance, and to appreaciate its value. ☺
Well I'm a kid and I want to save the Philippine eagle
th-cam.com/video/okeJoR9yebQ/w-d-xo.html
Mostly adults
I’m just 12 years old but I know how unique the Philippine eagle is
This made me emotional. I was in awe the first time I saw a Philippine Eagle at the Eagle Center. How graceful it was when it spread its wings, the length, the power it holds when it flies. I would be crying if I see one flying in the forest.
I have, along with others, been involved in rescue for decades, and remember one in particular. The rescue and recovery of an adult black palm cockatoo. The bird had become critically ill when the gentleman most responsible in the case decided to wrap him up and hold him literally 24/7 ,while also feeding him. It was quite some years ago but that man's decision made perfect sense to me. That bird felt this man's heartbeat and warmth continually. He also spoke to him with tender encouragement. It took, I believe 2 or 3 weeks, but he recovered.
The goosebumps after seeing the Philippine eagle gliding through the air.
Same here..
Lol yeah
I'm used to it there's a Philippine eagle where I live he/she usually goes here between June and July just circling around
OMG.. true that..
Yeah, and felt crying too.
I love Philippine Eagle. We should all donate money to help their survival.
dont it will go to the pocket of some gov official
I want to do that as well. There are research centers and wildlife conservation org'ns who deserve donations to help them in their endeavors. Even though there's a budget alloted by the gov't for Philippine Eagle conservation, I believe that donations would be very helpful still 💕

I love how you gave credit to those who rescued and cared for Maasim. This is an incredible video you made.
Fun fact: Maasim means sour in Tagalog. It makes sense since wild eagles have a sour attitude towards potential threats.
and maybe it actually makes sense since she was rescued from the sea. Interesting
All creatures have sour taste towards potential threats. Stop making stuff up lol
I am watching this beautiful documentary in April of 2023 and I thank you so much for sharing this moment with us. When I watched the majestic Philippine Eagle fly in the forest I felt humbled and honored to the point of tears. May this beautiful bird and the forest continue to be protected. 🥲
This is why establishing national parks and other protected forest must be a priority.
In Sibuyan Island we have plenty of forest cover but under deforestation its destroyed little by little I would like to Blame the local government for letting deforestation destroy natural habitats for some flora and fauna....

If they are in a national park then maybe a Philippine eagle will attack and that is not their habitat so they might be confused
Goosebumps all over my body. Dan's reaction after seeing Philippine Eagle flew around was priceless. This documentary deserves an award or perhaps a million views. Great job Dan and the team.
its in 1 mil now :)
Goosebumps and tears.
i love philippine eagle so much. im a filipino and no one pats an eye how wonderful amazing this creature is. i once saw one in manila zoo when i was kid and caught my heart since then. sadly we have no camera that time. i watch every video of philippine eagle in youtube and may the government take care of our philippine eagle as how china took good care of their pandas because both are majestic in their own way.
What an incredible experience. I felt your satisfaction when the Queen Bird (Philippine Eagle) made it's appearance before your own eyes during the time when you were about to leave the place. It gives me goosebumps, really. That moment alone gives me an interpretation that the majestic queen bird was thankful and grateful for the people who helped her to get liberated and of course to you as her visitor from other part of the world who decided to see her despite the uncertainty of everything.
Stop deforestation! Educate the people about the environment! Save the Philippine Eagles!

Simple lang. dapat magkaron ng batas na Maglimit ng residential areas sa forest parks/areas.. Hopefully in all major forest regions in Philippines..
Also reforestation din at pagtatanim ng native trees
@@janjamesramos247 Sadly hindi rin simple lang dahil hindi nagagawa. Pero tama ka nga, dapat talaga malimit ang pagkalat ng residential areas. Ang malaking problema sa Pilipinas eh walang Urban Planning. Tayo dito, tayo doon, maganda man or pangit. Karamihan ang issue dito ang mga LGU dahil hindi nila ma-manage ang area nila. Shortsighted din dahil pinapabili ang lupa pero walang masaydong plano as a whole at napapabayaan ang natitirang gubat.
Ang ginagawa kasi, instead na redevelop ang existing area, bumibili nalang ng bakanteng lupa para sa new development. So lumalaki lang ang sakop ng bayan or city, nakakain ang gubat at ang existing area sa municipal or city ganoon parin, dugyot, then ang bagong development nasa outskirt na. Dapat talaga laging gawin ang redevelopment sa existing area lang at limit ang pagkuha ng bakanteng lupa sa private development. Puro subdivision sa labas, habang puro squatter sa loob
I'm a middle school student that lives in the Philippines near Davao and just stumbled upon this beautiful documentary of Philippine eagle and I kinda wished that I can visit them once I saved up some money and donate. Its kinda sad that they don't really teach us in school about how important and endangered they are.
Yeah I agree
Maybe your teachers didn't teach it to you. Maybe some of teacher didn't teach it but my old teachers did.
Baka sa panahon nyo dhil panahon ko Aralin Panlipunan andon national bird natin yan,may usapan na palitan dw MAYA ,
The compassion for these birds is so genuine and inspiring. Watching this really hit different.
Extremely happy for Dan when he saw the Philippine Eagle! Thanks to him and the wonderful community and people behind the conservation efforts for this unique bird!
I literally cried when the docu tells that maasim didn't make it. Then I also cried on the part where there's a wild Philippine eagle soaring into the sky

of all the eagles, the Philippine Eagle has some kind of majesty to them.
yeah its looks very mighty and marvelous by how it stands and how majestic his crown hair

Then you haven't seen the Harpy Eagle or the Golden Eagle
Sir, in our place we have few. In highlands cordellera region
you should check out the harpy eagle
I legit got GOOSEBUMPS!! I really hope for our eagles to gradually be in safe population and one day not be considered "extinct" anymore.
This is so heartwarming. Since then, I always felt like there's a peculiar connection between me and nature... and so this documentary had me appreciating every creature in our planet.
I went there once, the birds are really huge and intimidating, but they are very beautiful, graceful and at the same time brimming with power. Nature is amazing.

I'm crying while watching this docu-- it's a mixed emotion because (1) the Philippines has this jewel that can't be seen in any other country. (2) Philippine Eagles are now endangered. And (3) Not all Filipinos are educated about the situation of our national bird.
Now, through this documentary, I hope people will learn how these raptors play an important role in our ecosystem. This story is truly inspiring. Thank you!

Christian Paul Del Rosario you shld also check the Philippine documentary about the Phil eagle too.
I got choked up & teary eyed when he saw that majestic bird flying - what a great documentary!!
This documentary is so amazing. I am a biology student and also lives in Davao City. I often thought of going to the Philippine Eagle Foundation and see a Philippine Eagle for the first time. After watching this video, it inspired me to continue my study and interact with these kinds of animals myself. Not to mention the cinematography and the music that made this documentary so touching. I've always dreamed of being a biologist and explore different places but here in Davao (I used to not like it here). But this short documentary made me realize of how underrated our place are and deserves more recognition. I cannot wait to graduate and explore different areas in Davao that are associated with birds. Thank you so much, Dan!

We, Filipinos, are truly grateful that there are biologists from abroad like Dan O'Neill who have the kindness to participate in our local wildlife preservation efforts.
The Philippine Eagle is the most majestic amongst our national fauna. It has such noble mean with that regal look on it's face, a seemingly stern and angry look with its furrowed brow and icy stare.
Even on screen, its mystical aura is impeccable... I can only imagine how Dan & company must have felt before this eagle at close range.
Its sublime beauty and piercing gaze seems to have a hypnotic effect on the beholder. I was entranced... and humbled. This raptor is almost like deity... if not royalty. 😀🇵🇭

Damn what a beautiful bird. It looks like a lion, I can see why the ancient Romans used the eagle standard. Such a magnificent bird.
thats why its called the king in Davao city
Looks like a griffin(bird lion)
Romans have a symbols called aquila or aquila means eagle
Philippine people should protect this birds. Look how beautiful they are.
Yes theres a law here protecting wildlife. We love birds and animals.
luckily they're now very protected by the PH government and locals, the only problems is they're very slow on production mostly a single chick each breeding season although the survival is high since they're the only top predator
the wildlife team protecting their species but the problem is that the Eagle lay eggs every 2 years...and they don't mating to different partners
I hope so too
@@yoj312
They do not mate to a different partner because once a Philippine Eagle found a partner their bond and relationship will never be broken.
I had goosebumps and teary eyed at the last part of the video where he saw the eagle came out and just fly freely. What a feeling. If I were there, I'd feel euphoria! Phew.
Bless all those people who are doing their best to give these eagles a fighting chance and to flourish. This documentary deserves more than just views. I think a recognition or award is in order.
Fun fact: The Philippine Eagle is very loyal. Once paired to a partner, they choose to remain as a couple for the rest of their lives. One of the reasons why I really love this bird.
What a coincidence, like most other birds do same
Almost all birds of prey do that lol

I'm so glad seeing some of comments here would love to donate for the conservatation of the Phil Eagle, i do hope someday that our education department(DEPED) will have a subject that will focus on the importance, uniqueness and preservation of our endangered species(phil eagles, tarsier and etc.)found in our country. I do believe in educating our locals will be one of the main key for the preservation of this gorgeous species. If we lose them we fail as a nation.

This is a brilliant documentary it should be shared throughout so that these Philippine eagles thrive for the next generations.
When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I saw a gigantic eagle flapping atop a very tall Caimito tree somewhere in the Cordilleras and instinct drove me to hide on some plants.

Thank You for showing great love for our iconic national bird and for your concern for its conservation.. God Bless You!
Crazy, I've been doing a research paper on the Philippine Eagle and this shows up. Time to learn :)
You should add on your research that killing one Philippine eagle can send you to 12 years in prison.
Killing Philippine Eagle has the same imprisonment of KILLING A HUMAN BEING..
@@grantasilom5844 Yup, but that doesn't stop impoverished people from hunting to eat it or hunters looking for their next trophy animal. Federal laws are in place to protect the eagle, however, there has to be more responsibility from the locals to be educated about the diverse ecosystem in the Philippines and know why these laws are in place. The hard part is getting that education to those in poverty.
Based from bryan's testimony on this video, the culprit on the demise of "maasim" was their fellow fishermen on an another boat that saw the Phil. Eagle aboard bryan's boat which they interrupted that's why the poor eagle flew away and therefore lost it's way in the sea. Although bryan and his crew manage to rescue her but the damage was already inflicted which inturn led to the poor eagle not able to recover and just died.

I live in Pampanga Luzon I once saw this Eagle flying across the sky, im just a high school student that time, we decided to cut classes and go to Abacan river me and my friends , while walking in the river we saw this huge bird flying so high and you know it is not a simple bird because the altitude its flying was very high and the wings of the bird was so wide and steady. i still remember that time me and my classmate was in awe. these eagle are so rare so seeing them specially flying freely above was very very rare.
This has to be one of the most beautiful documentaries I have ever watched.
I am just learning of the existence of these beautiful birds.
.
The cinematrography, the unfolding of the story, the climax with the magnificent and majestic bird soaring in the sky is just so breathtaking, so moving.

The best documentary I've watched so far about the Philippine Eagles. Truly a world treasure. Let's help protect and conserve this amazing creature. 🇵🇭
Thanks for helping our Philippine Eagle and conserving them.
In the early 90s, as part of a sponsorship of our Del Monte clients, I was lucky enough to see these majestic creatures in the Phil Eagle Foundation compound in Davao. I was a copywriter at McCann-Erickson, Phils., tasked to write tidbits of information about the Phil. Eagle (then more popularly known as the monkey-eating eagle) which were to be printed at the back of every Del Monte product. This was to let the public get to know these rare and endangered Philippine treasure and give way for donations.
If I remember right, there were only a couple of adult eagles in the center at that time (for breeding) and one baby bred in captivity. We were only allowed to view the adult eagles outside their cages. The adults were truly majestic and one talon is almost as big as my whole hand. It wasn't just their size that gave them majesty, it was their whole stance. One fleeting glance from the female eagle made me cower. I remember thinking how much bigger, more majestic, and how much more intimidating the female eagle was compared to the male.
The baby eagle was in a smaller cage, was much more docile as it wasn't raised in the wild, and was used to the presence of people so my art director and I were allowed to see it up close and take photos. We were allowed into its small cage (approximately 8-10 sq m?). I sat in a small stool possibly a meter and half away from the eagle as my art director clicked away. At some point, it got scary as it started looking my way very curiously. It turns out it was only because my watch was catching the light. I cautiously covered my watch with my other hand. That was a memorable experience! I wish I had kept all the photos.
I did the writing and the subsequent proofreading of all the labels which bore the details of the eagle. Up to this time, even if I'm half asleep and you ask me for its scientific name, I still remember - Pithecophaga jefferyi.

This is some national geographic level of editing,nice cinematography
I first watched the Bird of Prey which was so amazing and this is another great documentary about the Philippine Eagle. May people continue to protect and bring awareness to people about conservation and saving nature and its creatures.
Thank you for coming in the Philippines, God bless you more
Long live the wisdom of Philippine people. From Kuwait with admiration
Oh, Kuwait. Hóla. Greetings from the Philippines.
i cried the entire time--- i am a filipino and i haven't even seen the real philippine eagle in such a free flight!!! thank you so much for sharing this amazing experience! i am hoping to witness it as you did as well
Me too🤣
I cried as well the whole time. My gahd! It felt so novel to see it here in the video is so majestic feeling. T_T
I'm pilipino and that's a pilipino eagle
i'm a filipino too what a coincidence 🤣
I feel the same emotion guys, i cried with joy that our Philippine Eagle soaringly fly with freedom to her protected territory. Thank you for these dedicated conservationist.
a couple of years has passed since I watched this documentary, but still makes me cry, especially the part where the Eagle soar high up in the sky. ❤
I felt so lucky that I can go to PEF everytime I want to watch these magnificent creatures. As long as there is an Eagle in the wild, our forests are alive.❤
Mabuhay, Haring Ibon!
i love the approach you did on your documentary..the way how you put the importance of the Philippine Eagles for the community and the conservation of the forests in Davao...that's the best way to see it...everyone is safe, will thrive and be blessed when the Philippine Eagles are there...Thank you Dan for sharing this for the world to see our majestic Philippine Eagles...salute to the Philippine Eagle Foundation for all the hardwork and compassion for our native eagles. God bless you all.
Like Thailand that value their Elephant, Honored, and respect. I think not just the people from the Mindanao, but every Filipino should do the same for the Philippine Eagle.
I don't think Thailand value their Elephant w the way they're abusing them for entertainment.
I don't think so, they had been abused for such a long time. Pricking their bodies to follow what the trainors want them to do just to entertain people, imagine the stress and pain they had to endure just to satisfy their so-called masters. Poor elephant...
Thailand use Elephant for tourists attraction
Thank you for coming in Philippines for the eagle brother. Your ah legend
The ending, the Philippine eagle gliding through the air and Dan's reaction, was an epic climax! Kudos :)
Man, this documentary brought tears to my eyes. I'm from Davao, but I haven't completely experienced the brilliance of this animal (in this video alone, you've managed to show both the brilliance and vulnerability of philippine eagles!). I went to the center once and gawked at the caged eagles but their dire situation never hit me. It just goes to show how painfully unaware most of us are about the riches our country offer and their significance.
Me too
It’s time that even individual Filipinos make their countrymen aware of the priceless treasure that the Philippine eagle is.
Same goes with me 😢
It's so sad to hear that the Philippine Eagle, the Philippines' national bird is at the brink of extinction. 14 years ago, back when I was in elementary school, I can clearly remember how my history teacher explains the significance of the eagle to the country's freedom.
Walang paki alam ang karamihan ng mga pilipino sa kahalagahan ng Philippine Eagle
people in our country are mostly easily corrupted with chunk change, and exaggerated promises from politicians. there is no hope there, if you can get out. do it.
@@jmr1920 i live in Florida now
It is because of the ignorance
@@hotasianstepsister3039 I don't think this is true. I grew up in Davao and everyone cares for them, when an eagle is hurt, illegally kept, etc. they are reported and brought to the sanctuary immediately. Local people know about the eagle center, that they are endangered and they do their part in the conservation. You saw the reaction of the people in Maasin, that's how it is everywhere the eagle flies. I think Filipinos in general care about its welfare. However, it's the general lack of care for the environment of people who have access to logging that makes the impact on not just the Phil. eagle but of other animals, people, and the forests. They are the few that ruins it for everybody. You can't know how protective are the local people about them. That guy they interviewed on the beach, that community leader who first knew of the rescued bird, they were the whole community talking.
Videos like this are forever a gem that lasts for posterity. A call and reminder to responsibly share the ecosystem with the wildlife for a sustainable planet.
A beautiful documentary film for a super majestic creature, the Philippine Eagle. wow wow wow. Thank you for filming this. Really fabulous! Let's protect the Philippine Eagle. Mabuhay the Philippine Eagle Foundation. Really appreciate how you take care and protect our national bird. Thank you
I got goosebumps when I saw the Philippine Eagle flying,,oh my G-d what a magnificent scene beautiful bird she's the queen
I've had the chance of meeting a Philippine eagle in the same conservatory not too long ago. It was really a humbling experience. You'd be in awe of its majesty and all its glory especially when it spreads its wings... I truly hope people would heed the need to protect them.
You are very blessed to have these raptors in your life & to be able to bond with these creatures must be absolutely amazing.
I cried so hard when he finally got to see the Male Philippine Eagle!! This has to be one of the most beautiful and emotional documentaries I've ever seen, ❤so thank you for something so beautiful, and I will definitely be watching it again!
