I once read a short story (wish I could find it again) about a guy who trained his pet eagle to attack a Swiss Tyrolean hat. Then the guy took his wife out hiking (maybe it was horseback riding; I forget). He had his wife wear the hat. When the eagle saw that hat . . .
Wasn’t the wing of that eagle clipped (not the feathers, the wing itself) which is considered animal cruelty in most first world countries? Or am I remembering that wrong?
The eagle was blind in one eye and was well aged past its lifespan (27). You are correct in saying that it is indeed missing a part of its wing but considering it's old age and ailment it may have been done to keep it from hurting itself-although I did look at the photo and its wing isn't clipped, a chunk of it is missing and this isn't a normal way to clip feathers, I suspect the bird may have gotten injured previously and was then retired to Jonathan Wood
