Martin Tyner, a wildlife rescuer, found a staving golden eagle by the side of the road, and the animal is barely alive. He rushes to get some food into the eagle to save him. He starts with a liquid mixture and then gives him solid food. Martin is committed to preserving this remarkable eagle and tries not to give up.
Martin is extremely kind and patient with the bird. He puts the eagle in a designated area to recover and comes back to check on him a few times that night. He does not want to give up, but the poor bird dies the following day. Martin explains at the end of the video that his job is challenging, and most wildlife rehabilitators tend to get out of the work after about three or four years because they cannot handle the stress and sadness of the job, as far too often, the animals they try to rescue do not survive.
The eagle Martin found that day did not have much life in him and was ready to pass. It goes without saying that it is regrettable for Martin because he wants to be successful every time he sees an animal in distress. Unfortunately, he knows he is not capable of saving each one.
The good news for Martin is that he has an eagle friend named Scout who helps him handle the job emotionally. Scout helps him understand things better, and he helps him cope. Scout is a wildlife ambassador that helps educate kids about wildlife.
