Izumi was acquired August 1, 2002 . 

This immature eagle started his life by falling out of the nest, in his native Manitoba, injuring himself. Some people came across Izumi and decided to try helping him themselves, they took him to an inexperienced veterinarian who bound his wing improperly. With a damaged foot and a permanently seized wing Izumi could never survive in the wild so instead we will care for him here.

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

Dining and Dwelling

Although the Bald Eagle's primary food source is fish, they will also catch rodents, deer, mammals and even feed on carrion.

Due to their diet, bald eagles can be found living around large bodies of water. They build a nesting platform called an aerie that can be up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) across and 6 meters (20 feet) deep and weigh as much as 1800 kilograms (2 tons).

Life and Death

Bald Eagles become sexually mature at 5 years old. The breeding season for these monogamous birds starts in November and ends in April (depending on location). The female usually lays 2 white to pale blue eggs, which will hatch 35 days later. The young fledge out at 10-11 weeks old and only 1 chick normally survives to maturity.

The bald eagle is at the top of the food chain and is seldom killed by other animals. Death caused by humans is more frequent , either by accidental poisoning or by trophy killing.

That's Amazing

-The Bald Eagle has the largest nest of any bird in the world.

-They don't have a white head until they are sexually mature at 5 years of age.
