Big bird in a little box

[den]

Wedge-tailed eagle in a hospital box. She broke her right humerus mid-shaft, which is repairable. Not long after I took this, the zoo vets put a pin in the bone. You can see the right wing is being held at an odd angle.

She wants to eat us, doesn't she?

Jeez they are majestic, but scary.

Oh yeah mate, put a hand in my box, I'll show you....

That's exactly the expression Quel gave me upon announcing that I'd given her my cold.

"I'm eating your face in my mind right now."

I know that I'm just anthromorphizing because of the way the eyebrow is drawn down to look like a human glare--I KNOW it--and yet that expression is just pure "You are not worthy to touch me, peon, and I am willing to eat your hand to make my point clear."

Magestic, even when injured. Not something I'd want to trifle with awake. I hope it recovers well.

Is it possible for you to get more photos later? She has AMAZING colours, less red than I'm used to. She's beatiful, and scary! *shows this post to whyrl*

They're trying to minimize contact with people to keep her free of stress. I'll see what I can do.

While I was taking the photos, the fellow caring for the eagle said "If she takes your camera YOU will have to get it back, or it'll stay there."

if you can't, no worries. So pretty though. =) Love to see one of her chest plumage.

Jeebus that's one bad ass Eagle. Even with a busted wing, there's no chance at all of me getting within a meter of that beak, yipes!

CYa!

you can see it going through her mind.

"Fingers, yeah! that's what I feel like eating. And if that bastard brings his just a few inches closer ... that's what's for dinner tonight!"

"Stick yer hand in here! I triple DOG dare ya! OOOOO, when I get out of this box I'll VOOM at yer head!"

Now THAT is a Burly Birdie! Looks healthy aside from the damage, and a little ominously sulkish too:).

Yes, well, rats aren't cannibals, so doctors don't know if they can eat a Chihuahua or not.
