Murphy and the Rock
Did you hear about the male eagle who wanted a baby chick? He sat on a rock, hoping it would hatch. He patiently waited, but of course, he waited in vain. The caretakers took the egg away, and Murphy successfully fostered a young, orphaned chick. What an amazing opportunity for Murphy!
Sadly, Murphy passed away on March 15, 2025. We are honored to have shared his story. You can learn more about Murphy and see a photo of him with the chick he cared for, you can do so here.
