Visitors will be able to meet and take pictures with her. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Since 1782, when the bald eagle was placed on the Great Seal of the United States, the bird has stood for American sovereignty and power, holding arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other. Long before that, eagles had been used as symbols of empire, authority and military strength, including in ancient Rome.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>What merits does the bird have to have been attributed such strong symbolism \u2014 withappeal at events from Saturday\u2019s time-capsule burial to flights at Lincoln Financial Field? <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>From a distance, the eagle looks formidable, with a six-foot wingspan. Indy is sometimes released to fly freely during Auburn football games, said Robyn Miller, Indy\u2019s handler and the director of the Auburn University Raptor Center. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>On the rare occasion that one sees eye-level with the bird \u2014 suchas in Indy\u2019s various TV appearances \u2014 the eagle has an intense and almost disconcerting gaze. Her feet are bound or shackled to contain her but she occasionally gives out a squawk and shuffles around. The bird squawks as humans might laugh; they tilt their head back and can either let out a loud cry or many chirps, as Indy tends to do when she is inside. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1969\">Pa. state and religious leaders hold vigil to honor lives lost in ICE custody ahead of nation\u2019s 250th birthday<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The bird will travel to Philly from Auburn on a Delta flight with Miller and three other handlers. Her carrier will be strapped into two coach seats. Miller expects that she will be comfortable in her carrier but notes that she may let out the occasional squawk. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Indy, now 10, came to the Auburn University Raptor Center in 2018 after suffering a wing injury as a young bird. Although the injury healed, she had imprinted on humans during rehabilitation, meaning she could not be released into the wild. Now, she serves as an ambassador bird, teaching people about raptors, conservation, and the ecosystems that sustain them. Her appearances have included a flight at the Linc for an Eagles\u2019 game. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Miller makes a distinction between captivity and care. \u201cAll of our raptors come to us with life-threatening disabilities,\u201d Miller said. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The eagle is now used to human socialization and depends on human care. And yet the irony is hard to avoid. What draws people to Indy is precisely the quality that cannot be caged: the wildness she can embody, even if she can no longer live it.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cFolks can\u2019t help but be fond of her when they meet her,\u201d Robyn said. \u201cBe fond of her wildness.\u201d She added, \u201cWe wish these birds could still remain in the wild.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1967\">Racist backlash roiled these high schoolers\u2019 production of \u20181776.\u2019 It strengthened their resolve.<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bald eagle will be traveling Auburn University to Philadelphia for July 4th. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
