The Nannies are still there, right? I couldn't tell if Angelkitty was sending them goodbyes, or what? LOL. I see Nanny TR, and I think part of the Nanny Goose. It is sad, though. Our Wild Child is sort of walking through the LMI like she is missing something..... poor baby.

Wild Child is having a serious fight with that hose. In the tub, up the wire, back in the tub to wrestle the hose, out over by the chute, climb a tree. She is just a wild and crazy girl!

Tara, is Little Lav doing better since the Bear Moms tweaked her routine a bit? Fingers crossed it's helping her!

Tara, WCV

I haven't heard any updates yet, but I'll see what I can find out today!

Deb in PA

9:06

Mornin' all! The Wild Child is full of it this morning! Tara, hoping for good news about Little Lav. Hoping she's settled down a bit.

Deb in PA

11:23

LOL, looks like the Bear Moms were busy...all the Nannies are "hanging out"!

Jody in Oh

Any new news when the cubs are to be together.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

11:25

No updates yet, but we are approaching the 7-10 day period during which the vet team will re-check Double Lavenders' back injury. If it has fully healed, then they can be placed together.

Deb in PA

11:25

Any updates on the 2 young eaglets? Have they tried flying yet?

Connor Gillespie, WCV

11:26

I'll ask the rehab team about those eagles in rounds today

12:48

Deb -- I asked how the eagles were doing, and the first thing rehab said was, "Which ones?" We have six at the Center right now, most of them juveniles!

12:50

But the ones you saw on cam are doing well. They aren't ready for flight conditioning yet but are able to fly now

Connor, you and Tara are so patient with CN!! You must get about 20 of the same type of comments or questions. LOL. We are consistent.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

12:53

Thank you! We don't mind repeat questions. We know you all only ask because you care

jakermo

12:54

Oh No! I can't get Cam 3 to work. How is Buddy??

Connor Gillespie, WCV

12:54

Buddy Cam is back up!

Deb in PA

The Wild Child is having a ball playing with the hose she found in her tub! Hope it wasn't a new hose! (WCV)

Connor, thanks for the update on the young eagles that were on cam. Gracious! Six youngsters at WCV?

Connor Gillespie, WCV

1:06

Five juveniles and one adult. I wonder, what is the largest number of eagles we've released together?

Connor Gillespie, WCV

1:07

Cam 2 is back up, featuring the adult eagle!

1:10

The eagle still has some brown feathers on his head, so he's about four years old.

I am going to run that duck over this afternoon and bring my pup I am nursing back to health with me in the car so I can keep an eye on her…

Connor Gillespie, WCV

1:10

See you soon!

Deb in PA

1:31

Connor, the 4 year old eagle. Was it a fight that landed him at WCV?

Tara, WCV

1:31

According to his record, it was a vehicle collision that brought this eagle to us.

T 'n T

1:31

Connor, I believe the most eagles released at once was 5 - it was the Norfolk Rock Stars and 2 others, at the Berkley Plantation. I was there, as were so many others on this chat!

Randy aka Big Bear

1:31

Connor, in response to your eagle release question. I'm going to go with five -- the Rock Star release [plus two]. https://wildlifecenter.org/patients/2011-norfolk-botanical-garden-eagl...

Now, some might argue that we only released four eagles that day -- because NX was brought back. But they are incorrect.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

1:52

Thanks, T'nT and Randy! I thought I had heard of a quintuple eagle release, but I didn't know it included the famous Rockstars.

1:57

Well, we can't beat five ...

Angelkitty

2:47

Love seeing the adult eagle! Thank you for cam 2!

Lydia Virginia

The big tub rubber ducky has landed!
