A month or so back, I posted about how there were two bald eagles nesting in an Ed Smith Stadium (the Oriole's spring training facility) light-tower. They had built a nest, and the female had laid two eggs. The birds weren't causing any trouble, but there were concerns that once the eggs hatched, the hatch lings would be in jeopardy. They need a lot of space, and that included time on the ground... right in the midst of a construction crew.
At the time, nobody really knew what would happen to the birds, because of state laws regarding the management of wildlife and endangered species.
The end result is that wildlife rehabilitators snatched the two eggs from the nest (before construction crews demolished the light-tower) to "discourage the adults from returning". (Yes, because that's what happens when children get kidnapped. The parents just go home and take a nap). To quote a spokesman for Florida's leading wildlife agency:
"The eagles are going to be upset, but that's part of the process."
Yeah they're going to be upset, you stole their CHILDREN! I'm imagining two big-ass, near-hysterical giant eagles hunting down all these people while they're talking on their cell phones, stalking them from above as they drive, dive-bombing them on their back yard patios, etc...
If you stole my wife's kids, she would totally go Punisher on your ass. She would BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN. Hope you sleep well, folks.
