At age nineteen, Martin was hired as curator of birds of prey at Busch Gardens, CA. He also worked in the movie and television industry training big cats, elephants, primates, sea mammals and raptors. “One of my greatest childhood fantasies was the desire to create a personal friendship with a wild eagle.

Through a heartwarming collection of true stories he describes his challenging transformation from a shy dyslexic teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.
I wonder, if this is such a good idea after all. If at some point the eagles grip strength will come alive again, wouldnt its first attempt in freeing its feet be to crush those shoes with its grip? And if the wood is so thin, might this not work too? But the trouble is broken pieces of wood would still attached to each toe. Now if the shoes are broken and the eagle closes its grip, might not the splintered woodends on each toe pointing inwards press into the bottom side of the eagles foot? Couldnt this cause futher damage to the foot? Maybe the wood ought to be a bit thicker so that the eagle cant crush it.
You are so kind, gentle, and loving with all these beautiful blessings from heaven. Thank you for taking such excellent care of them, "Dr. Do-A-Lot." - ALL of you!
Extremely impressive that this idea was conceived and used successfully. Making these shoes and the way they are applied and wrapped in gauze was genius. There was also an emotional side to this story and this poor docile Eagle. I pray there was a good ending to his story and he regains/regained the use of his feet. What a sweet Eagle, the way he looked up and was so inquisitive and concerned, melted my heart. I wanted to take care of him forever after watching this🦅💙
Hi Martin, you are truly incredible. I never would have imagined eagle shoes. Wow! This video was remarkable. That eagle was just beautiful. It was amazing to watch him walk around in the shoes. I hope he continues t heal under your tender, loving, and devoted care.
Twain (Mark, not Shanaiya) said that history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes. It's cool seeing two different organizations come up with a solution for an important problem. Well done. :)
Look at that Eagle….sweet thing. He seems to know your not going to hurt him. That’s one very fortunate Eagle to be in your hands. Your really something else Martin! God Bless you dear……
Thank you Martin for all you've done for wildlife rescue over the years. What a vast wealth of knowledge & experience you bring. You are invaluable & a treasure.
What an delight to watch this creative inovative solution to heal and strengthen their feet back to normal after nervo dammage. I hope that in a while his feet will work properly so that he can return where he belongs, if not you did your utmost best to comfort him. He is an very sweet boy and he seems to understand that you two were helping him. I love Scout talking in the back, calling out for you. Brilliant video. 🇳🇱🌬💞
God bless you and your team for the noble work you do to save and care for these unfortunate animals. Without you, these animals have little or no chance of survival. Please keep us updated on this majestic eagle.
I love how innovative you are, creating solutions to care for and comfort our beautiful winged friends. We pray he fully heals and graces our skies once again. Living your lives in service to others, is lovingly expressed. 🕊💕
One has to be in awe/admiration of the size of the actual species and how well you both handle this eagle. With so much compassion, devotion and tenacity that you both have shown on every vid, no matter the species, I am totally overwhelmed with your love, wisdom and abundance of unique therapies and patience. It is your driving force that has saved many wildlife and given much humanity to our world. God bless you both and the many volunteers/sponsors. To instill hope and kindness, it is truly phenomenal.
@@russellgentile4719 Yes, wildlife, nature and other non-humans do not inflict purposeful pain to each other. It is only for survival. Much has changed in our world. One can only hope that more will engage in best practices to keep our wildlife save for future generations.
The eagle shoes are amazing! Hopefully this eagle will fully recover. Watching it look around while the shoes were being taped on was adorable. I know eagles are wild, but I think they know they are being helped. They don’t like it, but they know. Thank you both for all of the time y’all dedicate to the care of these creatures.
Oh and Casey's track playing along is such an hopegiving tune, it suits beautifully with the therapy. Thank you so much for all the help you give the wildlife. Wonderful. 🇳🇱🌬💞
That was wonderful !!! Really reminded me of what physical therapy does for us humans… splints then exercising the damaged area.. practice walking.. more splints & more stretches. You all are -SO- creative !! Wonderful interventions to save Gods critters. 👍👌👍👌👍👌😍. ♥️ to you two.
I'm soooo glad you wrapped each toe with gauze first. Some people are so allergic to the adhesive in the tape. If you used that tape on my mother, her skin would look like you applied acid where the tape was. She got like a third degree burn. The gauze protects their skin. 💖🌞🌵😷
How about that! Customized orthopedic Air Jordan's from Tyner Industries. You never cease to amaze, Dr Martin. Those talons never cease to amaze me. Prayers tonight for that beautiful, incredible animal. Thank-you Belle for your background vocal support, too. Thanks too for our Northern neighbors and their care and support for our fine feathered friends.
61st LIKE posted at the 12:48 segment: dare I call it Martin & Susan's Nail Salon - remarkable to see the innovations and care to restore use of those powerful feet/talons. Like me as a kid, breaking in a new pair of Keds. HA. Cheers.
Martin, this is so genius and thoughtful. There are naturalists who feel we shouldn't "interfere" and animals need to deal with their issues or disabilities on their own. Then there are wiser people who say, no, I'm going to do better and try and help. That's the team I'm on. I love these shoes! You can almost see the eagle's bewilderment wearing them.😄
I saw a video of an Australian vet who used craft foam and velcro to make a shoe for a pelican who had lost part of her foot. This eagle was soo patient while you taped on the shoes. I notice you even put little gauze pads around each foot to cushion it. Such attention to detail. Thank you Susan for assisting by holding the Eagle. I do hope this eagle's out come is good. Each and every eagle is so precious. Love and HUGS.
What a beauty: please keep us informed of his progress. He is in the very best hands. I think this is the first time I have seen Susan handle a golden eagle.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing your technique with the rest of us! I enjoyed seeing the technique used by the Canadian raptor rehabbers also. This is a great teaching video for anyone who works with injured raptors, as well as for the general public.
God bless you both for your innovation and creativity in working with these beautiful creatures of God.. Such devotion and compassion.. It's unparalleled! I'm hoping you are able to give us an update. This precious eagle deserves every opportunity to soar high in the heavenly skies and he is being afforded every opportunity to do so with your help Martin and Susan.. My prayers are with all of you 🤗♥️
@@OllieVer2.0 I still like your idea. I appreciate your just commenting on the vid as it helps with likes, comments. We all learn. I'm trying to learn all the raptor terms myself, and English is my primary language, then Spanish.
You and Susan are a wonderful TEAM.... Blessings to both of you Thank you for sharing your insights, trials, successes. Pray this IS successful for this eagle
A genius idea Martin!! You and Susan work so well together. I just love how you go the exes mile for these precious birds, they surely deserve it. Thank you!! 👏
I have to say that your idea looks much more comfortable, but I guess whatever works. Very cool! That bird acted like he knew you were trying to help! Shame he couldn't hear the music, it was perfect!
You two are so amazing!!! It breathtaking at times!!! you help the birds to coop and relieve the stress and depression they must ne feeling so they can be able to move alittle keeps them encouraged and trying
Martin, you should apply for a patent so other "trained" bird handlers might save the birds the way you do and it would be extra revenue for you for your sanctuary, God gave you such a gift in how to handle, care for, honor and love the great birds of the sky, so He has placed this on your heart to pursue. I never cease to marvel an your ingenuity and tender hands when you hold a bird. You are truly one in a million! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and for inspiriting us all to look to the skies for the beauty that only a glance away! (P.S.: I sew and I was thinking that perhaps you could purchase very thin velcro strips that you could use as your final wrap around each talon after you wrap the gauge. That way you could get them on and off a wee bit faster? You could try it. :o))) We all love you and Susan Martin.
Always amazed at how much effort you go through Martin and Susan, to help the eagles and other critters to get back to full health and be able to be released back into the wild. The eagle shoes are an amazing idea! I hope this eagle was able to fully regain it’s function in it’s feet. I am so looking forward to meeting you, Susan, and Scout in Aspen, CO this coming October! I have so many questions to ask you…and I can’t wait to see your presentation at the Aspen Pitkin County Library! My best to you in all the invaluable work you continue to do for wildlife. -Val
I'm a Nurse and I've seen the same type of "involuntary" muscle contraction with human patients primarily after a stroke, or moderate head trauma. Typical treatments are to brace, massage, repeat until the spasms stop then we would start physical therapy. It's remarkable that the same type of treatment has been successful with these beautiful birds. Martin has saved these birds from a life of pain, or even from euthanasia!🙏♥️🙏 *** I'm curious if a plastic mold could be made by putting the foot into a wax or gel mold then making a hard plastic like cast/brace as we do for the human patients???***
Brilliant.. KUDOS to this ANIMAL ANGEL. he is is truly dedicated...godspeed in all you do to save these magnificent creatures . You should tryto get the specialized companies who help farm animals ..horse..wildlife with creating animal specific shoes leg braces ...i am sure they would appreciate your expertise.
like a thick comfy leather bootie the head covering are mad of with holes for each claw or open end backside. would be comfy less constraining. you got this Martin
So how is this bird doing? Did he make it or was the damage too bad? I'm hoping that you were able to help him. However it looked like the damage might be permanent :-( either way I'm glad you gave him a shot. A chance. Whereas most would have given up. You're the best. Thank you guys for all that you do. But I am wondering what happened to this boy.
I had to do something similar for several pigeons with stringfoot issues. The toes were tied up but after cleaning they had no muscle left and were limp. Cotton makeup pads and sport medical tape :)

A good idea for a t-shirt would be a peace sign with Scout`s pawprint
Except that Scout doesn't have paws.
T-shirt is still great idea as Scout is sweetheart. Razor sharp talons on those cutie feet.

Thank you for sharing another bit of your history you have with these majestic birds.
Keep us posted on the eagles recovery please
At 19:24 - Lady! You're stronger than me. That's for sure. I'd never be able to hold that bird up for that long like you do! ❣️❣️❣️
Definitely a learning curve!
Your remarkable Martin, God Bless You😘🙏❤
Beautiful!
I’ve made padded shoes for a chicken with bumblefoot. I used pipe cleaners, foam and vetwrap ❤️❤️❤️
I have to say that your idea looks much more comfortable, but I guess whatever works. Very cool! That bird acted like he knew you were trying to help! Shame he couldn't hear the music, it was perfect!
Thanks Fran!
👍thanks for sharing this.
I was hoping you would have said something about if those shoes were working or not..will the Eagle be released in the future..I hope so..
You two are so amazing!!! It breathtaking at times!!! you help the birds to coop and relieve the stress and depression they must ne feeling so they can be able to move alittle keeps them encouraged and trying
Martin, you should apply for a patent so other "trained" bird handlers might save the birds the way you do and it would be extra revenue for you for your sanctuary, God gave you such a gift in how to handle, care for, honor and love the great birds of the sky, so He has placed this on your heart to pursue. I never cease to marvel an your ingenuity and tender hands when you hold a bird. You are truly one in a million! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and for inspiriting us all to look to the skies for the beauty that only a glance away! (P.S.: I sew and I was thinking that perhaps you could purchase very thin velcro strips that you could use as your final wrap around each talon after you wrap the gauge. That way you could get them on and off a wee bit faster? You could try it. :o))) We all love you and Susan Martin.
Always amazed at how much effort you go through Martin and Susan, to help the eagles and other critters to get back to full health and be able to be released back into the wild. The eagle shoes are an amazing idea! I hope this eagle was able to fully regain it’s function in it’s feet. I am so looking forward to meeting you, Susan, and Scout in Aspen, CO this coming October! I have so many questions to ask you…and I can’t wait to see your presentation at the Aspen Pitkin County Library! My best to you in all the invaluable work you continue to do for wildlife. -Val
I'm a Nurse and I've seen the same type of "involuntary" muscle contraction with human patients primarily after a stroke, or moderate head trauma. Typical treatments are to brace, massage, repeat until the spasms stop then we would start physical therapy. It's remarkable that the same type of treatment has been successful with these beautiful birds. Martin has saved these birds from a life of pain, or even from euthanasia!🙏♥️🙏
*** I'm curious if a plastic mold could be made by putting the foot into a wax or gel mold then making a hard plastic like cast/brace as we do for the human patients???***
Genius!!!
Thanks for watching
Martin in medicine we call these shoes foot orthotics. They are used to correct a deformity or accommodate a deformity.
Brilliant.. KUDOS to this ANIMAL ANGEL. he is is truly dedicated...godspeed in all you do to save these magnificent creatures .
You should tryto get the specialized companies who help farm animals ..horse..wildlife with creating animal specific shoes leg braces ...i am sure they would appreciate your expertise.
Thank you for your interest
like a thick comfy leather bootie the head covering are mad of with holes for each claw or open end backside. would be comfy less constraining. you got this Martin
So how is this bird doing? Did he make it or was the damage too bad? I'm hoping that you were able to help him. However it looked like the damage might be permanent :-( either way I'm glad you gave him a shot. A chance. Whereas most would have given up. You're the best. Thank you guys for all that you do. But I am wondering what happened to this boy.
Cool 😎 thanks for the update
🙏🙏🙏 God bless all you do
Have you considered a 3d printer? There are templates for leg splints, prosthetics etc
Amazing, they you for help them … Question why the eagle is so calm ?
Unfortunately a "calm" eagle is a very sick eagle....
I miss your rescues videos sooo much :(. Will you guys be posting anymore soon? They’re my absolute favorite🥺🥺🙏🏼
Great idea!
Martin the mad scientist!
I did bird rehab back in the nineties and it was extremely fulfilling. Love to get involved again on some level.
I had to do something similar for several pigeons with stringfoot issues. The toes were tied up but after cleaning they had no muscle left and were limp. Cotton makeup pads and sport medical tape :)
SWEET!
