Spring can spark many changes in animals.
Murphy was first seen trying to hatch his precious rock in late March.
Murphy does not need a real egg to feel accomplished!!
Hes quite content with his rock, and VERY protective of it!
After his spring hormones have run their course, he will get bored and move on to other activities.
Around the same time, the sanctuary received a rescue eaglet who was in need of a foster parent.
Slowly but surely, Murphy began to channel his paternal instincts to the baby bird.
A staff member watched initial interactions through a peephole to verify the eaglet was safe,sharedthe sanctuary.
It took Murphy an hour before he approached 23-126 and examined with curiosity.
We’re happy to see that Murphy’s dream of being a parent is finally being fulfilled.

In March, Murphy was filmed protecting a rock as if it was a real egg.
The continuing saga of Days of our Lives WBS Bald Eagle Aviary Edition reaches a boiling point.
Does this behavior look familiar to you?
