If you’ve come to visit the sanctuary lately, you may have noticed that Apollo has not been in his usual spot next to Winnie outside. This year, Apollo is turning 44, making him one of the oldest Bald Eagles in the country! (The oldest Bald Eagle on record was 50.)

In Mr. Apollo’s older age, he has begun having some general issues that come with breaking age records. Most impactful on him has been the arthritis and soreness he has experienced on his foot that sustained injury back in the early 80’s.

With his care in mind, we have moved him indoors to give him daily laser treatment on his foot, provide more grooming opportunities that fit his abilities, ensure consistent nutrition, and provide him with more appropriate enrichment.

Since beginning this treatment, he is in noticeably less pain, continuing to eat well, and still enjoying his daily showers. We know many of you have enjoyed visiting Apollo for many years, know that he’s doing well and is still (always) incredibly well-loved.

We have exciting news!!

This baby screech owl has been recovering in our hospital due to injury. When this happens, we have to use our stuffed “parents” to keep them used to other owls and reduce their likelihood of attachment to humans. ✨ BUT ✨ This baby is finishing its antibiotics and will be introduced to its real Screech Owl foster family!!! We’re so excited to unite them this week!!
