Would You Like to Play Fetch with a Sea-Eagle?

tags: , , ,

This streaming video shows a man playing fetch with Evie, his white-tailed sea eagle. This is a fun game if you enjoy having a 14-pound bird with an eight foot wing-span fetching a tennis ball -- and sometimes puncturing your hands or arms with her sharp talons so badly that you need to visit the local hospital [2:26]

What a fun video. My lab loves to play fetch with tennis balls too, but I've never seen anything like this. Thanks for sharing ;--)
Happy Belated Blogoversary too.
Hugs and blessings,

OMG!
I come from Saudi Arabia, where a lot of falconries are there, but never thought of a trained eagle :)

I wonder why would Saudis train falcons ONLY? what is wrong with eagles? Are they just less efficient?
