Act for Birds: we’re calling for stronger nature laws to protect the birds we love

EagleCAM
After advice from NPWS, we wish to restate that there will be no immediate intervention at the nest. We are watching their positive progress and will review the situation for SE26 if needed when hopefully the stronger eaglet SE25 fledges and leaves the nest.
If either eaglet should fall to the ground now we have permission to intervene for immediate rescue and have procedures in place to take that bird into an approved care facility.
We would like to remind our followers again, that the Research Approval for this project does not allow for any access to the nest itself or any handling of the birds or eggs. The Sea Eagles nest is over 20 metres above the ground in a large ironbark tree, part of the Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest endangered ecological community. There is no access for vehicles and the only way to reach the nest would be to climb the tree with ropes. Unfortunately, this puts the climber, nest and birds at risk. Our priority is ensuring the welfare of both eaglets and in particular, successful fledging for the stronger eaglet, SE25.
While acknowledging that SE26 has a definite mobility issue, we are heartened to see both eaglets feeding well, developing their wings and self-feeding. SE26 has adapted his/her mobility somewhat and is able to stand on the left leg for short periods. For a bird this takes time. This has only been a recent development.
We are monitoring the situation closely and have taken advice from veterinarians with expertise in treating raptors. However diagnosis is not definite without actual physical examination.
When SE25 fledges, we shall discuss with NPWS the possibility for intervention for SE26, if required.
