Stress is a major factor to consider in the recovery of any patient. One of the reasons this juvenile Crowned Eagle's recovery was so smooth is that our team made every effort to ensure he did not have to deal with any stress during his stay with us.
In turn, he has remained one of the calmest patients we have ever had in care, trusting us to take care of his needs without invading his sacred wild space.
We love what we do, and how we do it.
We cannot do it alone! Let's pull together to help our wildlife:

Pictured here above: It is not just understanding biology that is important to us at FreeMe Wildlife. Ethology (behavior) and psychology (mental state) are another two aspects we pay careful attention to with our patients. The crown for which this species is named is very obvious in this photo. While the young eagle is still relaxed, raising the crown is a warning not to approach any closer. Understanding his behavior and body language is key to reducing any stress or pressure on him, a vital component of the healing process as it is not just physical trauma our patients suffer, but often psychological trauma too.
