That was a great vid 👍👌👍! Those feather layers & colors.. wow ! Interesting how he is constantly in surveillance of his surroundings. He jumps out -leaves - then pops back in the pool. 😍😍😍. Wonderful
This is why I don't eat any kind of chicken turkey or poultry anymore, because I love birds so much. And it's always wonderful to have an owner taking care of a beautiful golden eagle. And I think it's very cute to see the bird twitching its tail feathers to get dry. 😍
Those are falconry flying harnesses. Birdy and handler trust each other a lot, so bird is not gonna fly away willy nilly in an environment they feel safe in (like taking a bath here). So you can see there are little strings attached, but nothing holding the bird back, and bird is free to go about as it pleases. However, Birds of Prey are wild animals and very skittish ones at that, so in a new environment, or transporting between places where the bird will be free flying and doing falconry stuff, there are longer strings that the handler will tie to the harnesses and wrap around his glove to keep the bird tethered and safe, as well as to keep them from going after any random prey critter (pigeons, squirrels, etc) they see before they get where they’re going and can be let loose to free-fly
Three years later, I came across this video and your comments. They do not get attached to humans and they see them just a security, i.e. owner provides food. They could never be pets or show affection, but they can be trained for falconry. If you wish to form some sort of bond (and all it means is that the animal gets used to your presence and feels comfortable), you must be with them every day. I suggest you look up the story of Scout the Golden Eagle and Martin Tyner of Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (now Enoch Wildlife Rescue). Scout has been Martin's companion for over 18 years.
Probably a Fledgling that was abandoned by the parents, and being raised in a Center for large raptors until old enough. Still, majestic, and birbs love their bathtime!
This is called "Falconry" and it's not keeping an eagle as a pet, but instead training it and teaching it tricks , and yes, depending on the place it is legal
falconry is also the most regulated sport in the US and many other countries where u need years of training/ experience to be a master falconer and to get an eagle in the US u need an eagle falconry licence which requires 2 years of experience with eagles on top of a mastery falconer licence this eagle was hand raised / born in captivity and wouldnt be releasable to the wild IE it would be put down according to the law

Eagles can never be pets. Sometimes, due to the nature of an injury, they cannot be released into the wild, after being rescued, and they are kept in rehabilitation centres. Or, as other comments suggest, they are used for falconry (and probably released when they are mature, so that they can find a mate).
@Last Name Here he was hatched and raised in captivity. Those are jesses, something to assist the falconer in falconry. If you notice, he isn't chained to anything so if he wanted to he could fly away
I really want to see the golden eagle with my own eyes, only in the zoo.
Ang bait nman ng bald eagle😮😮.
Seeing an eagle have fun in the water is a rare sight. All animals deserve to have peace, fun and safety.
It would be nice to know the story behind this magnificent bird :)
❤️🦅❤️🦅❤️🦅❤️
She's a big girl, wow
This is cool but why isnt that person just letting the bird have its nice bath, without interfering??
Porr baby
Bath time with Daddy!
😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤
Its sad that he is tethered
stunning bird
Good Birds, they haven't mistaken his fingers 4 Food

After, he looks at the camera like: "Did you guys see this?" one the guy hid the hose
They are meant to be in the wild and not in captivity. ☁️🦅☁️ua-cam.com/video/IBxmfkSrYFg/v-deo.html

If you need to have it on a leash then you shouldn't have it at all.
Nice 1👍🏻
Talons...600PSI
Why are their legs tied up like that?

This Golden Eagle would fly away in a second if it didn't have a chain holding it back !!
I guess the owner replied to a comment and stated that "she was raised from the egg"
Such beauty, interesting to observe💚
Beautiful mate
I'm just curious do they get attached to there owners who ever takes care of them like Parots ? Man that would be so awesome to have a a pet .

Beautiful and strong bird.
How lucky this person is to interact w this majestic bird this way
That bird loves that. This is very cool to see
Está feliz bañándose
Juveniles have such pretty tails

description says 2014 imprint so likely a falconry bird
Do you keep this eagle as a pet? Is this legal? A healthy golden eagle should never be kept as a pet, this is a shame!

They make such soft sounds for such big birds.
What a beautiful mature Golden Eagle;
It is not fully matured, This is a juvenile ... this Golden Eagle has some white feathers and that indicates it is less than 5 years old.
Wings tapped camera...so peaceful to watch
Glad to see you are are taking care of these great Birds I like watching birds
Look like he was enjoying the water did you raise him from a young bird
Yes from day one she was hatched in a incubator.
Awww
O think I love it almost as much as he does! Thanks so much for sharing this video!
I really loved it but it is a captive eagle, notice what is on it´s legs. Please set it free.
This eagle was bred and hand reared in captivity as a falconry bird a few years ago now
Or you could do some research on falconry.

Good 😱😱
