Missouri bald eagle who sat on rock turns into foster dad to injured child

In latest weeks, a bald eagle at a Missouri fowl sanctuary has been taking excellent care of a rock. A lot so  that he has been sitting on it ready for it to hatch.

The 31-year-old eagle’s adoration for the stone saved his keepers at bay – they stated separating Murphy from his rock would result in heartbreak.

So when a just lately orphaned eagle wanted a dad, Murphy stepped as much as assist at his house at World Chicken Sanctuary in Valley Park in St. Louis County.

“Though it would make you are feeling unhappy that Murphy has constructed a nest and is nurturing a rock as an egg, it’s simply his hormonal response to spring,” the sanctuary posted on Fb. “Murphy just isn’t unhappy, so that you don’t should be.”
