196/365 Archie
Archie the bald eagle was hatched in a Canadian forest 1988, just days before a serious fire raged through the forest. Firefighters struggled to control the blaze. Lucky for Archie he was rescued by forest rangers and taken to the Thompson Zoo in Manitoba, Canada. Here he was raised by hand, and now imprinted on humans, the decision was made by the Canadian authorities that he could not be safely released back to the wild. It was then he came to Paradise Park in Hayle, Cornwall. Now at the age of 29 this magnificent eagle continues to happily live his days at the park.
