In 2005, Phoenix Wildlife Center acquired a
license to work with Bald Eagles in the state of
Maryland. With hundreds of nesting pairs in the
state, sometimes eagles become injured or fall
from the nest while “branching” – young birds
practicing flight while holding onto a branch.
They require special care and adequate space,
specifically a flight cage that’s 100’ long, 20’
wide and 16’ high so they can fly strongly when
released. The Phoenix Center is raising funds
now to build a flight cage for eagles.
