Bald eagle dad going viral for adopting egg given orphaned and injured eaglet to care for

Remember Murphy? He's a bald eagle in Missouri who found a rock in his enclosure last month and mistook it for an egg. Now he's a stepdad after the sanctuary took in an orphaned eaglet.

It's so great Murphy's dream of becoming a father came true. I have had some male cats who were excellent fathers.

The Sanctuary plans on donating Murphy's rock as a fundraiser!

Anyone who says birds have no feelings are ignorant. I have raised many species of wild birds and suspect they have much stronger emotions than humans. And brains.

God Bless to Murph and the Sanctuary for taking in an orphaned Eaglet and I’m definite that Murph is honing to an amazing job cause dads do know how to take care of an Eaglet like a female does. God bless you both and I thank the tv station for showing this on tv and the Internet too. Sue M.(Clearwater, Florida)👏🏻👏🏻🙏❤️🥰🫶🏻🦅🐥❌⭕️

They said they're gonna auction off the rock lol

[wickedbird]

I saw someone say they may auction the rock as a fund raiser.

Now they've started something, confusing Murph into thinking he hatch a rock! Once baby Rock fladge's Murph will be scoping out another rock now that he's gotten a taste of fatherhood! They'll have to find another orphan eaglet or a female he can mate with, stange and wonderful occurrence happen in nature! On a side note I don't see Murph letting baby Rock leave home, ever! 😎

They are using the actual rock for a fundraising opportunity.

This is a great story and everything but they're not doing that eaglet any favors by having a nest on the ground.

Go Murphy go. This eaglet don't have a name? Are they going to tag it on the foot.

Who the hell over there knows the basics of the written English language? Hm? Maybe? Get that person to write your thumbnail headlines?

Is this a bald eagle Bud Light commercial?
