Пара орлів джекі і шедоу вивели двох здорових орлят у каліфорнії
Jackie and Shadow, the beloved pair of wild bald eagles who live in the San Bernardino National Forest near Big Bear Lake, California, are now proud parents of two healthy eaglets.
After nearly 36 hours of determined effort, their first chick finally emerged late on April 4, slowly cracking through the shell and entering the world. By the morning of April 5, a second chick had joined the family.
In these first hours, life is incredibly fragile. Newly hatched eaglets are often called “bobbleheads” due to their weak neck muscles, struggling even to lift their heads. Feeding is also a major challenge at this delicate stage.
Jackie and Shadow wasted no time stepping into their roles as devoted parents. They began bringing tiny pieces of food and offering saliva rich in electrolytes and antibodies to give their chicks the strongest possible start.
When Shadow returned after the second hatching, he saw both tiny grey fluff balls nestled in the nest for the first time. Within moments, he gently settled in beside them, ready to begin his important duties as a father.
