The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah has released a short film titled, "The Bald Eagle That Would Not Quit". In January of 2015, a very, very, sick bald eagle arrived at the rescue center. Initially, wildlife rehabilitator, Martin Tyner, did not think the bird would survive. Over nearly two months, the bald eagle continued to fight and, against all odds, grew stronger and healthier. This film features footage of examinations and feedings as the bald eagle recovers. During sessions with the bald eagle, Martin shares extensive information about wildlife rehabilitation and notes positive signs of recovery.

THIS WAS AN EXQUISITE PRESENTATION OF THE DEDICATED REHABILITATION OF ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST ICONIC BIRDS; THE STRONG AND MIGHTY BALD EAGLE! YOU AND YOUR WIFE PROVIDED US WITH AN UP-CLOSE-AND-PERSONAL VIEW. YOU HAD AMAZING PATIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND “ BED-SIDE -MANOR”. TO SEE YOU AND THE EAGLE TOGETHER, WAS INCREDIBLE! YOU BOTH HAD A GREAT AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, AND WITHOUT ALL OF THE ABOVE, THAT BIRD WOULD NEVER LIVE TO FLY AGAIN! ONE COMPLAINT! WHEN THE EAGLE WAS FINALLY LET TO FLY AWAY TO LIVE THE LIFE HE WAS INTENDED, THE VIEWERS MISSED IT! TO ME, IT WAS A HUGE PART OF THE REHABILITATION! WHY DID WE NOT SEE HER FLY??‼️‼️
Most awesome job... rescue is the type of work I would love to do... animals are purity at it's finest ... people are a whole different world to deal with... may you ,sir, be blessed to rescue these beautiful animals for many many years to come...🤗🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for showing us the video and how you take care of the eagles this is my favorite bird I get to see alot of eagles living in Wyoming and go out on eagle counts every year ❤🦅👍
I found a shot great horned owl in my yard. And no one wanted to help it out. So I did it on my own. I was able to release it back into the wild. I am a native American, and my grandfather taught me well. He always told me wild things belong in the wild. It still shows up in my one of my trees. Or at least believe it is the same owl.
So glad you were able to save it. My gpa used to pick up small birds in East TN hit by cars or such. He nursed a Blue Jay back to health and it came back at evening every day. Sat on the back of his chair and would sit on the rail. Once it started to lose light he would fly off. He did this for 2 years.
As a disabled '70s military veteran, just to see this eagle in poor health, causes some emotional distress for me. I'm so happy you're able to help him.
Exactly! These people do an amazing job and yet some idiot passes a law to say sanctuary's can't keep them to live a happy safe life with love and nurturing , they have to go in to an education programme or be destroyed! ? It's that human that needs to be put into an education programme! Instead of playing god with innocent wild life. Bravo to this man I hope he makes it .
I feel like this eagle is America right now... no outside injuries, just resting there and incapacitated, needing outside help... but also not giving up.
I’ve worked a bit with Macaws in my earlier years and it is an absolute treasure to be able to comfort and help heal a rescued creature such as a large bird. Never had the privilege of any time with eagles but can imagine the effort involved in rehabilitating a bald eagle. This man does everything the right way, people should understand they are not nor meant to be “pets”. I salute you sir, your efforts are laudable.
Our world is truly blessed w/this selfless man's love, care & respect for God's most majestic creations. He is blessed with a beautiful heart in THIS life & will surely be joyfully welcomed & most profoundly blessed in Heaven.💕🙏💕
Harry my story is same. I watch one video each night and think to myself how these guys are doing so much for the animals that can't speak their problems out and deserve space on this planet. And how people like me are just so busy with their work, makes me think each time that these guys are actually doing the real work.
That distant look in his eyes early on makes my heart ache. Such a majestic warrior brought so low. It's so wonderful to see him come back to his senses and be released. = )
I have just spent 32 minutes and 57 seconds watching Martin giving the Bald Eagle a second chance at life with true unconditional love and respect. Bravo Martin. And hats off to Enoch Wildlife Rescue and it's volunteers for all they do to help these wonderful Wild Creatures. Gotta run and replay the video.
Wow. You don't realize just how malnourished he was until you get the side view on day 31 and wow...what a big guy he's becoming. Thank you for all you do for our precious wildlife. Birds of prey hold a special place in my heart. ...also, can't believe how much I cried at the end during the release.
Day 18 it still looks pretty as sick. I've dealt with sick and injured parrots. It's amazing how fast they can go from perching to dropping dead. How fortunate to have an experienced and educated person like this gentleman.
They say there's no such thing as a "sick sheep". You either have healthy sheep or dead sheep. Seems to me birds can be that way too. I am amazed & enthralled with folks like this that can pull them back from the brink of death!
i tried to save a starving stray kitten in the same way & it died on my desk after 4 days. it was LA so none of the rescue organizations were answering their phones. if i’d been able to give it to this guy it probably would’ve survived. i didn’t have enough knowledge & resources to keep something so fragile alive. feeding it isn’t sufficient if it’s already weak & given up. i wish urban areas had these types of sanctuaries
Well he gained half its weight in only a few months. Does that make half the meat young and tender or would it be even tougher because of the constant stress from being sick?

@@benhardwiesner6963 ??? He means his care and compassion with the birds.
Laura R Barrow And I didnt. I only wondered if freshly grown meat on an old creature would be like a young creatures flesh or if its old from the getgo
Huge respect for him for helping the eagle recover! I hope there would be more people who have such empathy for species other than theirs. Also the eagles are such beautiful mighty birds.
Mitakuye Oyasin. We are all related. This includes Raptors, and all the other creatures with which we share Maka Ina. And all our fellow humans, as well. Good job saving that yellow owl, brother ! 👍👍👍
Seeing a bald eagle up close like that being rehabilitated... and How Majestic they are... I gotta say,,, it kinda choked me up. That guy does good work
Janiter Inadrum I said the same I consider that so AMAZING to be able not only be close but hold this as I say BEAUTIFUL & MAJESTIC animal simply AMAZING I couldn't even imagine honestly, usually I don't like birds 🐦 but these they truly are just to BEAUTIFUL to not love and intelligent i just love everything bout them really!!!
@@GowildlifeOrg It practically works out perfect. If they act like dogs with you, then you know they need you. When they start turning into jerks is when you know it's time to release them......and you've done your job.
Honestly, The Eagle Whisperer at its finest Absolutely amazing... Your foundation, you, your family and the Eagles that you rescue. I'm glad you found your calling. Much respect from Katrinka in the San Francisco Bay Area P.S. I know I watched this video before, I don't mind a repeat. This has got to be the awesomest video on RUclips!
This is so bittersweet. I'll bet anything that a lot of people (admittedly, me included) would harbor some fantasy about having a wild animal's gratitude, about forging a bond... which is exactly what you won't get and exactly what you shouldn't strive for. This man knows that full well, and has been through that scenario repeatedly for decades. How many of us would be able to go through this heart-wrenching experience the right way on principle of helping the animal? Sir, your proffessionalism and commitment is admirable and inspiring. I wish you all the best for the years to come.
Thank you for your interest. Martin keeps distance from rehab animals, but he also has many Wildlife Ambassadors who he can enjoy a closer relationship with.
@@gerardclementine5330Oh yeah, I definitely see how falconry could provide that. It's just that with my post I meant a standard case of animal rescue like the one in the video. Hardly every falcon rescued will become a falconer's companion.
My sister. She did it for a squirrel. She knew nothing about the creatures, but went and educated herself when she found a sickly baby one and she stayed up without sleep to make sure it was fed as often as it needed and cared for and kept at the right temperature and all it needed while also making sure it would be able to return to the wild when it was big enough and strong enough and she slowly started as it got big enough, taking it outside and getting it used to being out doors and it would spend more and more time out there until finally it never came back in and had it's own family over time, etc and she never expected thanks. Her thanks was in seeing a sickly creature grow healthy and survive thanks to her efforts. That was enough for her. She was an incredible person who helped animals ever since she was a little girl. The world lost a lot when she died. I'm glad there are still some people like this.
Raging Raichu When I lived in California I became misanthropic. I had to travel to Kentucky for work and as a black guy I was told to not go there because Kentucky and West Virginia are 2 of the most racist states in America. And to be honest I’ve never met more lovely people than the ones I met in Kentucky. After a short time there I found I was gonna out of my way to strike up conversations and enjoying the people I was around. I guess my point is don’t let negative experiences with miserable people effect how you see society. As far back as I can remember I’ve pretty much keeping my distance from people because most everyone I was around were a downer. Going back to Cali really opened my eyes too. I realized the people I was around were just miserable.
I've seen this video a few times. I'm also a Cedar native. I'm so grateful I was exposed to you as a child! Who knew it was such a unique experience! You do amazing work! Thanks for all you do for our amazing wildlife and area. As a mom of an Amazon Parrot I can attest that birds really are angels. I can't imagine how much more difficult eagle and falcon care is! Grateful i don't have to feed my girl live food!!! Keep up the great work!!
Hi Jen I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
I love you guys animals are a beautiful gift from GOD ,and we get to enjoy them. So please everyone if you see one hurt, or it got hit by a auto. Do not touch call game and wild life they know what to do we do not God Bless them they are appointed by GOD to help him with his wild life. Thanks to you guys BLESS YOU AND THE SPECIAL ANIMALS YOU HELP.
I love the person you are. Just a stand up guy. I'm 2 years clean from heroin addiction and this is very inspiring. He had it so bad but made it back to a full recovery.
Hi, thanks for your interest and congrat on your sobriety! Martin has written a book, you might enjoy it, sample chapters are here: www.gowildlife.org/healer-of-angels/
About fifty-five or sixty years ago I met two eagles standing on a very high perch in San Francisco, California. I began to sing for them a song, as I played the zither. They joined in, singing, in harmony, and marching, and its seems that their wings spread just a bit. As the song ended they each were standing on one leg, and that's how they remained as I left them.
Some people would not believe you I am sure, but if you go clear back to the book of Genesis it would appear that in the original creation man and animals were able to communicate freely with each other. There are individuals and moments for that communication barrier seems to come down, and I believe with your song you found one of those moments! What a beautiful testimony of joy!
I just watched this video for the second time and it made me realize how powerful and beautiful our nations symbolic bird is. It breaks my heart to think an American can shoot this bird and still feel like a true American. I was compelled to donate $100.00 to the cause and I encourage everyone who watches this mans dedication to these national treasures and their well being to do the same. Thank you sir for your true compassion and love for the bald eagle 🦅
Thank you! If I could donate money this guy would be the man I would donate too! Eagles mean the world to me. I love animals but eagles are the animals I adore the most. And watching this guy help so many and save so many has warmed my heart and helped me during these rough times ! The world needs more men like this man. I'm from mass so not close ar all, or I would volunteer to help. But I would gladly move to work there and do my part! God bless this man and his work! When I can donate I will be,!!
I think this is my very favourite of all your videos. There's just something very special, for me, about this particular bird's plight and its successful recovery, thanks to you, Martin and Susan.
This man…….what he does for our nations representatives is truly amazing. I can’t say anything more than what’s already been said. This guys a natural. Thanks so much for taking care of our nations bald eagles!!
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, you might add. For LOVE has no boundaries or CANNOT BE CONTAINED, ONLY EXPERIENCED. Watch how unselfishly, he chooses to share his pain for the sake of Educating a public that at this stage of evolution should not be reminded of how PRECIOUS Life Really is. TRUE HERO!
I love you for your thought of not sharing the dead eagle.. thank you for showing him get well.. I don't know what to say but I cried and whilst falling in love with this guy.. your an angel mate.. xxoo...and xxoo to your friend...
9:33 he looks like he is thinking "I'm gonna get you. One of these days!" Lol I love how you aren't afraid to work with predators and help them get better to survive. You are a blessing to the world!
Yup, bald eagles aren't known for killing really large prey as far as I know. Golden Eagles, that's where it can be scary, a Golden eagle can kill a deer, so this Bald eagle most definitely could have killed this man, yikes 😳
I got the chance to see a Bald eagle nest in the wild when I was walking along a river. I didn't expect it to be the size of a small car. There is a reason people hold these animals in such high regard, other than them being the national bird.
I have learned so much from watching this incredible channel! I love the way Martin talks to and about all of your beautiful creatures! It’s incredibly troubling to see such a sick bird from lead poisoning. It looks to me that most of Martin’s injured animals have encountered man-made obstacles or poisons. What a dangerous world we are making for ourselves and our fellow creatures!
I just watched this man lean his face into a cage with a bald eagle. Anyone who knows what they're capable of will instantly know this man loves what he is doing. Amazing.
Growing up in the sixties there was a lot of news about eagles and other birds of prey being poisoned from DDT. At that time I developed an interest in how majestic the bald eagle looked. When I went to basic training I was sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. And for the first time in my life I was able to see many bald eagles. I appreciate your efforts.
The whole point of the video is that this is not adorable behaviour or a cute moment. It is extremely distressing to see a wild predator in a state like this.
@@GowildlifeOrg -- It takes a special person to have that much RESPECT for another being's independence, and to want that being to be free, even if it means no longer having the gratification of an established closeness or maintaining the role of someone that someone else depends on. Our Founding Fathers would respect you.
@@GowildlifeOrg You are quite welcome! I've been watching your videos for the last few days now and I can already tell you and your wife are very kind-hearted people. You have my respect and admiration. Thank you for taking such good care of those beautiful animals!
I'm so glad that bald eagles are back on the rise A couple of years ago a bald eagle out fished me out in the creek It flew in from outta nowhere and picked a fish out of the creek 10 feet away Its was very humbling and awesome
Just to know that Great Humans like this Heroic Man still do exist - brings me to tears . There is hope for humanity with people like this . God Bless this Man
It was so good to see him actually take the food off of you himself. When you have to basically force feed them you see their spirit almost breaking, they stop even holding their heads up. I didn't understand what was meant when wildlife rescuers meant when they'd say an animal was too far gone to save even though it was still breathing. But seeing that eagles reaction to the force feeding, even though it was the only thing keeping him alive, you could see it was so sad and extremely stressed out by it, that it was suffering.
"I approached the Eagle with care" .... as he stuck his head in the carrier face inches away from that large curved beak used to tearing things apart!!! This guy has a phenomenal amount of knowledge and understanding and awareness.
I can’t believe he’s been doing this for (if I remember correctly) 47 years! This guy has had a lot of experience and practice. Truly an amazing guy, along with his family that helps him and the volunteers that also help!
What kind of a person with thumbs down this video? There truly is some sorry ass people on this planet. But thank God there’s a lot more great wonderful people
Truly, I give benefit of the doubt and sometimes people click the "thumbs-down button" when a video makes them feel sad. Maybe a small few(maybe 1 or two?) were malicious in intent...but i think the thumbs down were an impulse-click of people who felt the hurt this video was able to conjure from within all of us who watched it.
necaacen... He would eat like this in the wild, he would not survive on a vegetarian diet. He was dying from lead poisoning, obviously caused by humans. This man dedicates his life, day and night to help save these innocent animals. Please take the time to research before making a comment like this. This man deserves nothing but respect for what he does.
Eric Hopkins, I totally respect what you’re saying... I get it, we’re all screwed up (Humans)... and this situation proves it. This eagle wasn’t dying of natural causes, nature wasn’t taking its natural course... he was found dying from lead poisoning 😫.
Live in Delaware. Our program has done very well. When I first moved up here there were still problems with people shooting eagles or, worse, poisoning them. In the last two decades one eagle was shot by an idiot who should never have a gun. They caught him and he served time in prison as he had previous offenses. We live in a suburban area backing on the Christianna Rivier...literallly at my backyard and see an eagle pair every year. It's a wonderful experience. When I was a child..I am now 67...eaglew ere endangered due to DDT. My parents wrote letters, signed and circled petitions. Their recovery has been astonishing. Overtime I see one I smile, remembering the huge effort that went into saving them. Now the struggle is to reduce the pollutants that are so harmful to eagles and all living things. Thank you for your work.
It's OK if it's an American thing. I understand that pride in our nation is viewed as negative in some circles...but...The EAGLE is our national emblem...so, yeah it's the American spirit in action.
It's not American we lost our right destroying wildlife animals trees sea n water n air war crime causing millions of lives nation building wrecking ha whatever.
Dr. Doom They’ve evolved to hide any sign of weakness, you know they’re on the literal brink of death when they’re so weak they can’t physically fight back or run.
@@givepassword Yeah, I just didn't really think about it when I made the comment. Was just in shock to see the bird that close to a human in that way I guess
This man is about life! And a Wonderful human being! It's hard to put into words? Just awesome 👍 I have so much respect for this man and of course his helpers! I wish More people could understand stand just how Precious life is? And stop Wars!!!!!! And hate to one Another! Please life every thing!!!!!!
Thanks I needed a feel good video. Reminds me of working for the late veterinarian Dr Sudo. She had secretly took in a bald eagle with a broken wing. She reconstructed one. I had to keep quiet about the whole thing, because it was illegal to try and save the bird. Animals are so awesome. But now that she's passed, I can finally say how much of an awesome doctor she was. R.I.P. Dr Sudo.
I believe this is the first time I've seen a Bald Eagle being hand held the way the guy was holding it! It showed how huge the talons actually are; in comparison to the man's hands which were about the same size!!!! Amazingly awesome!!!
This was such a great story. It’s so wonderful that people like yourself exist in this world and just so unbelievable that anyone would want to hurt or kill one of these majestic birds.
that was a touching and heart felt video by one hell of a caretaker , the fact that you've seen so many die and still keep at it is a real mark of dedication and i'm quite impressed by how often you stated that a wild animal acting tame is deathly ill, unless you know what you're doing it's almost better to kill the poor creature than let it suffer more, it's someone like you who goes the extra thousand miles and makes the attempt... what an AMAZING man , to dedicate his whole life to educating and releasing these into the wild, thank you sir
You are a wonderful gentleman and your wife gave her time also. I am writing from London England and play your video frequently. Thank you for loving wildlife - that particular eagle really trusted you and I am sure will never forget. Thank you again for treating them with love. You are smashing and I love you and your beautiful animals and Susan's lovely videos. Domini (female).
Martin, you are in a room with an Eagle, and he's on a perch and you are feeding him. Wow! he trusts you so much. Amazed at how you care for them with Love. I've learned so much about this beautiful Bird of Pray from you and the work you do with them. Thank you.❤❤
I volunteer at Habitat for Humanity, and yet, somehow, what this gentleman, his wife and others like them do in these cases seem more noble. Hats off to y'all.
YEHAW!!!! HE TURNED ON THE HIGH PERCH!!! Thank you, Susan, for talking him into filming the care and progress of this WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL EAGLE!!! And BITING now too!!! Love watching the Eagle eat with the tongs!!!
You reminded me of a vet I had here on the East Coast for my small animals. The animals always seemed to know somehow that Doc was trying to help them. We miss him since he passed on, but you brought back some wonderful memories, thanks! The animals have no better friends than dedicated people like you. God Bless You!
I actuall turned off my favorite tv show to watch him with the eagles. So much respect, tireless dedication & compassion is inspiring. Hero to the animals! To just say thank you so inadequate but my personal gratitude for your good work is endless. You, sir, are a credit to the human species.
Animals had problems like this since the beginning of life, it’s not a good thing that humans help them but it’s worse that animals can die of starvation despite it happening all the time since the beginning of time.
Bless you for saving this beautiful and fierce eagle that represents our beautiful country. You are all such lovely people for rescuing all the creatures that you do, truly inspiring.
Hi Gayle I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
It does my heart good to see this man doing such a service for these animals in the wild! I remember as a young boy in Montana , watching these magnificent eagles raise their young on a bluff on our farm! My favorite bird! And all animals in the wild! GOD bless this man!🙏❤️
You're an amazing person for devoting your life to all of these incredible animals. Thank you for everything that you do. Your videos are so educational too. I enjoy them through the tears (both happy and sad tears).
Many thanks to Martin for helping these beautiful birds. I am in Northern England, we have beautiful birds and wildllife and I was fortunate enough to see what looked like a hundred bald eagles waiting for the salmon coming up the rivers to spawn in Canada. We have to value our world . Not only that but stop the cruel habit of shooting such beautiful birds.
Martin Tyner, you are my hero. Thank you for doing this work for our world. Amazing video and its so nice to see a human with your love of animals being around these animals. Tears in my eyes. My dad loved Eagles and they were showing up in numbers for weeks before he died in 2008. I have had so many incredible siting of eagles since he passed. I feel he communicates from the heavens to me through his love of Eagles. Blessings to you.
What a beautiful story. So happy he recovered and returned to being wild and free. I myself have rescued wild birds. One was a male Cardinal that somehow got trapped in our screened in porch. i was afraid he would break his wings. I have always had an uncanny way of calmly approaching and soothingly talking to wild animals to let them let me approach them. I was able to capture it. i was surprised at once at how large he actually was and then how warm he was! He did not struggle or try to bite me. I opened the door and released him. He flew to a nearby phone line and just watched me for awhile as if he was amazed i even let him go! The second bird i rescued was a wild Canadian Goose which had been hit by a car. He was unable to fly or walk but sat in the road. Once again i approached the bird slowly and soothingly talking i was able to pick him up in both arms and move him to a nearby retraining wall for protection. Now everyone knows Wild geese can bite and snap your fingers but it did not attempt to bite me. The police called a wildlife conservationist. i don't know if they saved him or euthanized him but at least he wasn't further injured by another car. I would love to come and volunteer at your conservation. Maybe after my 90 year young mother passes as i take care of her now. Thank you for sharing this video. i thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot.
how could anyone dislike this. this man is saving this eagles life without getting anything in return except for the knowledge that he is doing something good that will save a life. he is a saint if i ever did see one.
I love the bald eagles, I was lucky to see several in Alaska. I was taught by a guide how to float down a river with binoculars looking for two tennis balls in the giant tree tops. It was all of the nesting pairs. We saw many near the shoreline when the tide went out and they were feeding on sea life that was being exposed with the water out. The animal life in Alaska is just amazing. I hope he makes it. My father worked in a laboratory in the Defense Industry and he contracted lead poisoning and I don’t think they did anything other than monitor it. I can’t stand that mentality oh there is a bird let’s shoot it, that is about as dumb as you can be. They have been seriously endangered and have just in the last few years making a comeback. How can people take them for granted when they are so majestic.
Yeah, in the Philippines there's only around 600 Philippine eagles left due to stupidity of the locals and that mentality to shoot them for food! These eagles are the biggest in the world, mightier than the golden eagle, sadly we can no longer release them due to humans around.
I watched the one where the golden eagle you found on the Rd side and it was so upsetting ! We need more people and rescue centres like you you are passionate about them and I respect you for your dedication and you popped up on my feed randomly. Thank you so much eagles are beautiful animals

THIS WAS AN EXQUISITE PRESENTATION OF THE DEDICATED
REHABILITATION OF ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST ICONIC BIRDS;
THE STRONG AND
MIGHTY BALD EAGLE! YOU AND YOUR WIFE PROVIDED US WITH AN UP-CLOSE-AND-PERSONAL VIEW.
YOU HAD AMAZING PATIENCE,
KNOWLEDGE, AND “ BED-SIDE -MANOR”. TO SEE YOU AND THE
EAGLE TOGETHER, WAS INCREDIBLE!
YOU BOTH HAD A GREAT AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, AND WITHOUT ALL OF THE ABOVE, THAT BIRD WOULD NEVER LIVE TO FLY AGAIN!
ONE COMPLAINT! WHEN THE EAGLE WAS FINALLY LET TO FLY AWAY TO
LIVE THE LIFE HE WAS INTENDED,
THE VIEWERS MISSED IT! TO ME, IT WAS A HUGE PART OF THE REHABILITATION!
WHY DID WE NOT SEE HER FLY??‼️‼️
Most awesome job... rescue is the type of work I would love to do... animals are purity at it's finest ... people are a whole different world to deal with... may you ,sir, be blessed to rescue these beautiful animals for many many years to come...🤗🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for showing us the video and how you take care of the eagles this is my favorite bird I get to see alot of eagles living in Wyoming and go out on eagle counts every year ❤🦅👍
Thank you for making this video. You are an amazing man. God bless
The world needs more men like this man
Thanks Sean, we appreciate your kind words!
And some
Sean Hurley There are! You just have to find us! Lol
You're right mate.
100!!🙏🏻🇺🇸💗👍🏻🔥Love&compassion indeed
This man is a true legend, doesn’t want fame or praise just has true love for the animals, so much respect
Thanks James, Martin is a just a critter guy!
Yes. This man is a real hero
Awesome guy and great care for animals
Agreed!
Yes
I found a shot great horned owl in my yard. And no one wanted to help it out. So I did it on my own. I was able to release it back into the wild. I am a native American, and my grandfather taught me well. He always told me wild things belong in the wild. It still shows up in my one of my trees. Or at least believe it is the same owl.
Your that great horned owls savior, and thank goodness for people like you. I have rescued dogs, cats, and some birds that no one else would help.
So glad you were able to save it. My gpa used to pick up small birds in East TN hit by cars or such. He nursed a Blue Jay back to health and it came back at evening every day. Sat on the back of his chair and would sit on the rail. Once it started to lose light he would fly off.
He did this for 2 years.
Great job Buster👏🦉
Thank you. Snd, Happy nee year. (:D).
Its the same owl
As a disabled '70s military veteran, just to see this eagle in poor health, causes some emotional distress for me. I'm so happy you're able to help him.
It is hard to see them so weak.
Is such a blessing to know these people help our wildlife
God bless you and thank you for your service!! 🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜50 purple hearts!!!

The true character of a man is measured by how he treats animals when no one is looking.
Thank you for your interest
@@GowildlifeOrg We need to get that federal law removed that requires the euthanasia of any healthy eagle.
I eat animals every day! 😬😮
@@Khalrua Do people watch you eat? If so no worries, but if you eat them by yourself you are a monster apperrently. /s
Exactly! These people do an amazing job and yet some idiot passes a law to say sanctuary's can't keep them to live a happy safe life with love and nurturing , they have to go in to an education programme or be destroyed! ? It's that human that needs to be put into an education programme! Instead of playing god with innocent wild life. Bravo to this man I hope he makes it .
"He's too sick to bite" broke my heart more than it should have
Very hard to see them so weak
I think it broke your heart "just right"!
Seeing the eagle holding it's head higher and higher as time went past is honestly so great
Always great to see them grow stronger!

I feel like this eagle is America right now... no outside injuries, just resting there and incapacitated, needing outside help... but also not giving up.
@CellGames2006 Nope...NOPE... definitely have a radical leftwing cancerous tumor killing our Country, sadly.
The patience and compassion in your voice while working with this animal is heart warming.
Thank you Stephen, we appreciate your interest. Martin has found a calm voice help a little to ease all the stress they feel in captivity.
This man is a good, good man. I hope that when his time has come, that he is honored for the work he has done.
Thank you Kristy, we appreciate your kind words.
Yes honoured by the high priest of the eagle council in make believe world after death :D
I’ve worked a bit with Macaws in my earlier years and it is an absolute treasure to be able to comfort and help heal a rescued creature such as a large bird. Never had the privilege of any time with eagles but can imagine the effort involved in rehabilitating a bald eagle. This man does everything the right way, people should understand they are not nor meant to be “pets”. I salute you sir, your efforts are laudable.
💚
Our world is truly blessed w/this selfless man's love, care & respect for God's most majestic creations. He is blessed with a beautiful heart in THIS life & will surely be joyfully welcomed & most profoundly blessed in Heaven.💕🙏💕
RUclips decided to recommend this to me even though what I watch has nothing to do with animals, but now I'm hooked
Hi Harry, welcome, we're glad you found us and are enjoying our videos!
Lol same
This man is Amazing!!So Caring and courageous!Happy I found this!
I got hooked because the bald eagle is our national bird and to see 1 not doing so well or hurting makes me so mad. Im glad this guy helps em
Harry my story is same. I watch one video each night and think to myself how these guys are doing so much for the animals that can't speak their problems out and deserve space on this planet. And how people like me are just so busy with their work, makes me think each time that these guys are actually doing the real work.
I’m transfixed ... this man is a real human being.
God Almighty created the animal!
❤❤❤❤❤
Finally a real caring human ❤️

Yes, love is the realest thing that there is.
That distant look in his eyes early on makes my heart ache. Such a majestic warrior brought so low. It's so wonderful to see him come back to his senses and be released. = )
I have just spent 32 minutes and 57 seconds watching Martin giving the Bald Eagle a second chance at life with true unconditional love and respect. Bravo Martin. And hats off to Enoch Wildlife Rescue and it's volunteers for all they do to help these wonderful Wild Creatures. Gotta run and replay the video.
Great to hear, glad you enjoyed!
Right? Had to watch this twice myself. Wonderful
God has a special place in heaven for people like you. Thank you for protecting wildlife.
Thank you Katy, we appreciate your interest!
The eagle can't say thank you. So I will. Your service is profound. And much appreciated by all. Thank you.
Release is thanks!
Wow. You don't realize just how malnourished he was until you get the side view on day 31 and wow...what a big guy he's becoming. Thank you for all you do for our precious wildlife. Birds of prey hold a special place in my heart.
...also, can't believe how much I cried at the end during the release.
Quite a recovery for sure. Thanks for your interest
Day 18 it still looks pretty as sick. I've dealt with sick and injured parrots. It's amazing how fast they can go from perching to dropping dead. How fortunate to have an experienced and educated person like this gentleman.
It's hard to see them so weak
@@GowildlifeOrg the job is inporten, but it can be hard on the heart to...
They say there's no such thing as a "sick sheep". You either have healthy sheep or dead sheep. Seems to me birds can be that way too. I am amazed & enthralled with folks like this that can pull them back from the brink of death!
i tried to save a starving stray kitten in the same way & it died on my desk after 4 days. it was LA so none of the rescue organizations were answering their phones. if i’d been able to give it to this guy it probably would’ve survived. i didn’t have enough knowledge & resources to keep something so fragile alive. feeding it isn’t sufficient if it’s already weak & given up. i wish urban areas had these types of sanctuaries
@@geminifreestyle3697 or that there were actual helpful manuals listed by vets online for average people to be able to get and use to help
You can be no more humane than a human spending their life in the service of animals. Bless you all for the work you do.
Thank you Darrin, we appreciate your interest
“That’s my boy”. How tender is that?!?
Well he gained half its weight in only a few months. Does that make half the meat young and tender or would it be even tougher because of the constant stress from being sick?
@@benhardwiesner6963 ??? He means his care and compassion with the birds.
Laura R Barrow And I didnt.
I only wondered if freshly grown meat on an old creature would be like a young creatures flesh or if its old from the getgo
Huge respect for him for helping the eagle recover! I hope there would be more people who have such empathy for species other than theirs. Also the eagles are such beautiful mighty birds.
Thank you for your interest. A whole lot of people help us help critters!

Seeing a bald eagle up close like that being rehabilitated... and How Majestic they are... I gotta say,,, it kinda choked me up.
That guy does good work
They are quite a presence!
Yeah im getting choked up watching this video right now
Janiter Inadrum I said the same I consider that so AMAZING to be able not only be close but hold this as I say BEAUTIFUL & MAJESTIC animal simply AMAZING I couldn't even imagine honestly, usually I don't like birds 🐦 but these they truly are just to BEAUTIFUL to not love and intelligent i just love everything bout them really!!!
It’s never good to see an animal in such bad condition, but this has happened since the beginning of life.
Such a powerful animal to see it so weak and powerless is so heartbreaking..you are doing a wonderful job..God bless you
Releases are definitely the best part!
@@GowildlifeOrg It practically works out perfect. If they act like dogs with you, then you know they need you. When they start turning into jerks is when you know it's time to release them......and you've done your job.

P.S. I know I watched this video before, I don't mind a repeat.
This has got to be the awesomest video on RUclips!
Thank you for your interest
This is so bittersweet. I'll bet anything that a lot of people (admittedly, me included) would harbor some fantasy about having a wild animal's gratitude, about forging a bond... which is exactly what you won't get and exactly what you shouldn't strive for. This man knows that full well, and has been through that scenario repeatedly for decades.
How many of us would be able to go through this heart-wrenching experience the right way on principle of helping the animal?
Sir, your proffessionalism and commitment is admirable and inspiring. I wish you all the best for the years to come.
Thank you for your interest. Martin keeps distance from rehab animals, but he also has many Wildlife Ambassadors who he can enjoy a closer relationship with.
Not completely fantasy. Get into falconry
@@gerardclementine5330Oh yeah, I definitely see how falconry could provide that. It's just that with my post I meant a standard case of animal rescue like the one in the video. Hardly every falcon rescued will become a falconer's companion.
I would. I aspire to be an ornithologist and maybe some other ologist.
My sister. She did it for a squirrel. She knew nothing about the creatures, but went and educated herself when she found a sickly baby one and she stayed up without sleep to make sure it was fed as often as it needed and cared for and kept at the right temperature and all it needed while also making sure it would be able to return to the wild when it was big enough and strong enough and she slowly started as it got big enough, taking it outside and getting it used to being out doors and it would spend more and more time out there until finally it never came back in and had it's own family over time, etc and she never expected thanks. Her thanks was in seeing a sickly creature grow healthy and survive thanks to her efforts. That was enough for her. She was an incredible person who helped animals ever since she was a little girl. The world lost a lot when she died. I'm glad there are still some people like this.
The work you do with these majestic creatures is so admired and appreciated. You're a very gentle creature yourself.
@Chris You're right, and he's a very devoted man.
Yes ,yes, and yes he is a gentle soul.

Raging Raichu When I lived in California I became misanthropic. I had to travel to Kentucky for work and as a black guy I was told to not go there because Kentucky and West Virginia are 2 of the most racist states in America. And to be honest I’ve never met more lovely people than the ones I met in Kentucky. After a short time there I found I was gonna out of my way to strike up conversations and enjoying the people I was around.
I guess my point is don’t let negative experiences with miserable people effect how you see society. As far back as I can remember I’ve pretty much keeping my distance from people because most everyone I was around were a downer.
Going back to Cali really opened my eyes too. I realized the people I was around were just miserable.

About fifty-five or sixty years ago I met two eagles standing on a very high perch in San Francisco, California. I began to sing for them a song, as I played the zither. They joined in, singing, in harmony, and marching, and its seems that their wings spread just a bit. As the song ended they each were standing on one leg, and that's how they remained as I left them.
How beautiful. I've experienced coyote in the desert who sang with us...on key!
What awesome story
I love that! You must’ve loved it also! Thank you for sharing this.
Some people would not believe you I am sure, but if you go clear back to the book of Genesis it would appear that in the original creation man and animals were able to communicate freely with each other. There are individuals and moments for that communication barrier seems to come down, and I believe with your song you found one of those moments! What a beautiful testimony of joy!
What a great story 🤗
I just watched this video for the second time and it made me realize how powerful and beautiful our nations symbolic bird is. It breaks my heart to think an American can shoot this bird and still feel like a true American. I was compelled to donate $100.00 to the cause and I encourage everyone who watches this mans dedication to these national treasures and their well being to do the same. Thank you sir for your true compassion and love for the bald eagle 🦅
Thank you Jodana, we appreciate your interest and thank you for your donation!

I think this is my very favourite of all your videos. There's just something very special, for me, about this particular bird's plight and its successful recovery, thanks to you, Martin and Susan.
Considering that bird could take his face off with one attack, that takes a lot of courage to rescue such an animal.
Not when it's knocking on death's door...
and self control.

I got the chance to see a Bald eagle nest in the wild when I was walking along a river. I didn't expect it to be the size of a small car. There is a reason people hold these animals in such high regard, other than them being the national bird.

It’s incredibly troubling to see such a sick bird from lead poisoning. It looks to me that most of Martin’s injured animals have encountered man-made obstacles or poisons. What a dangerous world we are making for ourselves and our fellow creatures!

We like it better when they fly away all healed and healthy again!
Just remember it's a federal crime to handle a bald eagle unauthorized, don't try this at home.
It's not just any eagle, it's a bald eagle.

It was so good to see him actually take the food off of you himself. When you have to basically force feed them you see their spirit almost breaking, they stop even holding their heads up. I didn't understand what was meant when wildlife rescuers meant when they'd say an animal was too far gone to save even though it was still breathing. But seeing that eagles reaction to the force feeding, even though it was the only thing keeping him alive, you could see it was so sad and extremely stressed out by it, that it was suffering.
You can always tell a bird lover, especially when you hear parakeets in the background of all voiceover.
There are a lot of critters around here!
Animals are amazing creatures.
Budgies are so small, but sooooo mighty loud :) love hearing them

Truly, I give benefit of the doubt and sometimes people click the "thumbs-down button" when a video makes them feel sad. Maybe a small few(maybe 1 or two?) were malicious in intent...but i think the thumbs down were an impulse-click of people who felt the hurt this video was able to conjure from within all of us who watched it.

Live in Delaware. Our program has done very well. When I first moved up here there were still problems with people shooting eagles or, worse, poisoning them. In the last two decades one eagle was shot by an idiot who should never have a gun. They caught him and he served time in prison as he had previous offenses. We live in a suburban area backing on the Christianna Rivier...literallly at my backyard and see an eagle pair every year. It's a wonderful experience. When I was a child..I am now 67...eaglew ere endangered due to DDT. My parents wrote letters, signed and circled petitions. Their recovery has been astonishing. Overtime I see one I smile, remembering the huge effort that went into saving them. Now the struggle is to reduce the pollutants that are so harmful to eagles and all living things. Thank you for your work.
Hi Sharon, thank for sharing information about your program, education is very important to us as well. We all got plenty of work to do still...

Thanks I needed a feel good video. Reminds me of working for the late veterinarian Dr Sudo. She had secretly took in a bald eagle with a broken wing. She reconstructed one. I had to keep quiet about the whole thing, because it was illegal to try and save the bird. Animals are so awesome. But now that she's passed, I can finally say how much of an awesome doctor she was. R.I.P. Dr Sudo.

I believe this is the first time I've seen a Bald Eagle being hand held the way the guy was holding it! It showed how huge the talons actually are; in comparison to the man's hands which were about the same size!!!! Amazingly awesome!!!

that was a touching and heart felt video by one hell of a caretaker , the fact that you've seen so many die and still keep at it is a real mark of dedication and i'm quite impressed by how often you stated that a wild animal acting tame is deathly ill, unless you know what you're doing it's almost better to kill the poor creature than let it suffer more, it's someone like you who goes the extra thousand miles and makes the attempt... what an AMAZING man , to dedicate his whole life to educating and releasing these into the wild, thank you sir

You reminded me of a vet I had here on the East Coast for my small animals. The animals always seemed to know somehow that Doc was trying to help them. We miss him since he passed on, but you brought back some wonderful memories, thanks! The animals have no better friends than dedicated people like you. God Bless You!
Hi Fran, thank you for the kind words, we're sorry for your loss. We appreciate your interest!
I actuall turned off my favorite tv show to watch him with the eagles. So much respect, tireless dedication & compassion is inspiring. Hero to the animals! To just say thank you so inadequate but my personal gratitude for your good work is endless. You, sir, are a credit to the human species.
Thank you for the kind feedback, we're glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks for your service to nature. Love from Germany!
Thanks for watching! Greetings back to Germany!
Da kann und möchte ich mich sehr gerne anschließen. Liebe Grüße

Animals had problems like this since the beginning of life, it’s not a good thing that humans help them but it’s worse that animals can die of starvation despite it happening all the time since the beginning of time.
Grüsse an meine alte Heimat aus Iowa!
Bless you for saving this beautiful and fierce eagle that represents our beautiful country. You are all such lovely people for rescuing all the creatures that you do, truly inspiring.
Hi Gayle I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
Excellent work. Thanks for bringing him back from the brink of death and respecting his wild nature.
Thank you! We appreciate your interest!
Isn’t it wonderful that we brought these magnificent animals back from the brink of extinction and they now flourish.
They are a treat to see in the wild!
It does my heart good to see this man doing such a service for these animals in the wild! I remember as a young boy in Montana , watching these magnificent eagles raise their young on a bluff on our farm! My favorite bird! And all animals in the wild! GOD bless this man!🙏❤️
You're an amazing person for devoting your life to all of these incredible animals. Thank you for everything that you do. Your videos are so educational too. I enjoy them through the tears (both happy and sad tears).
Thank you Amy, we appreciate your interest. A whole lot of people help us help critters.
Yes
Many thanks to Martin for helping these beautiful birds. I am in Northern England, we have beautiful birds and wildllife and I was fortunate enough to see what looked like a hundred bald eagles waiting for the salmon coming up the rivers to spawn in Canada. We have to value our world . Not only that but stop the cruel habit of shooting such beautiful birds.
They are a treat to see in the wild
YOU SIR ARE A HERO !!
Thank you Lily!
Martin Tyner, you are my hero. Thank you for doing this work for our world. Amazing video and its so nice to see a human with your love of animals being around these animals. Tears in my eyes. My dad loved Eagles and they were showing up in numbers for weeks before he died in 2008. I have had so many incredible siting of eagles since he passed. I feel he communicates from the heavens to me through his love of Eagles. Blessings to you.
He certainly is, Anastasia ✨🙏💞🙏✨

What a beautiful story. So happy he recovered and returned to being wild and free. I myself have rescued wild birds. One was a male Cardinal that somehow got trapped in our screened in porch. i was afraid he would break his wings. I have always had an uncanny way of calmly approaching and soothingly talking to wild animals to let them let me approach them. I was able to capture it. i was surprised at once at how large he actually was and then how warm he was! He did not struggle or try to bite me. I opened the door and released him. He flew to a nearby phone line and just watched me for awhile as if he was amazed i even let him go!
The second bird i rescued was a wild Canadian Goose which had been hit by a car. He was unable to fly or walk but sat in the road. Once again i approached the bird slowly and soothingly talking i was able to pick him up in both arms and move him to a nearby retraining wall for protection. Now everyone knows Wild geese can bite and snap your fingers but it did not attempt to bite me. The police called a wildlife conservationist. i don't know if they saved him or euthanized him but at least he wasn't further injured by another car.
I would love to come and volunteer at your conservation. Maybe after my 90 year young mother passes as i take care of her now.
Thank you for sharing this video. i thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Thanks for caring about the critters! Glad you enjoyed our video!
HE SPEAKS!!! HE'S THANKING YOU FOR GIVING HIM BACK HIS LIFE!!!!
Bald eagles are such magnificent creatures they're just amazing I've always loved the bald eagle.
You are doing God's work. Thank you for your compassion and kindness. We need more like you.💕
Thank you, we appreciate your interest and kind feedback!
how could anyone dislike this. this man is saving this eagles life without getting anything in return except for the knowledge that he is doing something good that will save a life. he is a saint if i ever did see one.
I love the bald eagles, I was lucky to see several in Alaska. I was taught by a guide how to float down a river with binoculars looking for two tennis balls in the giant tree tops. It was all of the nesting pairs. We saw many near the shoreline when the tide went out and they were feeding on sea life that was being exposed with the water out. The animal life in Alaska is just amazing. I hope he makes it. My father worked in a laboratory in the Defense Industry and he contracted lead poisoning and I don’t think they did anything other than monitor it. I can’t stand that mentality oh there is a bird let’s shoot it, that is about as dumb as you can be. They have been seriously endangered and have just in the last few years making a comeback. How can people take them for granted when they are so majestic.
Yeah, in the Philippines there's only around 600 Philippine eagles left due to stupidity of the locals and that mentality to shoot them for food! These eagles are the biggest in the world, mightier than the golden eagle, sadly we can no longer release them due to humans around.
It was magical moment when he pet his head. Such a noble creature.
The amount of respect I have for this man I don't even know!
I watched the one where the golden eagle you found on the Rd side and it was so upsetting ! We need more people and rescue centres like you you are passionate about them and I respect you for your dedication and you popped up on my feed randomly. Thank you so much eagles are beautiful animals
