I'm not posting this as much about the image as about the story of these birds. This is one of two Bald Eagles that live at the Oklahoma City zoo. They are both crippled and cannot fly. They do seem to be able to get on an elevated perch but that's about it. The zoo did not cripple the birds, they were found that way in the wild so it's sort of a rescue for them to live at the zoo. Their enclosure is a large wooded area with a little stream where they can be at home and are also quite visible to visitors at the zoo. Any thoughts on this story?
