This is AWESOME = Challenger the Bald Eagle
This is an awesome music video...featuring a special free-flying Bald
Eagle named 'Challenger' (in honor of the lost space shuttle crew)
cared for by the non-profit American Eagle Foundation (AEF). He's
a 'human socialized' bird accidentally raised by the people who
rescued him - after being blown from a wild Louisiana nest in a
storm as a baby in the late 1980s. Declared 'non-releasable' by
federal and state wildlife authorities, he was trained by the AEF to
perform educational free-flight demonstrations at high profile public
events.
He's the first Bald Eagle in U.S. History that learned to free-fly
into stadiums, arenas and ballrooms during the singing of the Star
Spangled Banner. The celebrity eagle has appeared at numerous major
sporting events...like the World Series, Pro-Bowl, All-Star game, BCS
National Championship, Fiesta Bowl and Men's Final Four, etc.
Challenger has also flown before 4 U.S. Presidents! His life story
is told in a children's storybook titled 'Challenger, America 's
Favorite Eagle.'
