Nest-Cam Star Jackie Fights Anemia After Eagle Fight
24 Jul
Summary
- Jackie the eagle is in urgent care after a fight with two other eagles.
- A blood transfusion from another eagle named Spirit was a key milestone.
- The cause of Jackie's anemia is still under investigation by specialists.
The nest-cam famous bald eagle, Jackie, from Big Bear, remains in urgent care at the Ojai Raptor Center. She is receiving intensive treatment following a recent fight with two other eagles. A critical development in her care was a life-saving blood transfusion, made possible by Spirit, a resident bald eagle from the California Living Museum.
Jackie is reportedly eating well and remains bright and strong, though animal care specialists caution that it is still too early to predict the outcome of her treatment. Testing has ruled out lead toxicosis and foreign objects, but the exact cause of her anemia is still being investigated. Jackie and her mate, Shadow, recently welcomed two eaglets, Sandy and Luna, in April.
