The Week In Review
Lots of babies are still being fed at both the Pendleton and Benton City centers, but many are beginning self-feed. Five robins have been moved out to the songbird pen in Pendleton.
Bald Eagle 23-024
The Bald Eagle admitted in March with lead poisoning and fractures in his left halux toe and wingtip is doing well out in the large flight pen. He is slowly molting his damaged primary feathers. We know his lead toxicity was the result of eating carrion that had been shot with lead ammunition. We don’t know what caused the fractures. Trauma to a wing often causes feathers to molt prematurely. Once the feathers have regrown we can evaluate his flight ability. In the meantime, he is dining on rabbit and rat. He also enjoys a bath after breakfast!
