Heart crusher Adler Ben: Dramatic return after excursion from the zoo

in the Neunkirchen Zoo passed an unexpected event last Sunday during an exciting flight show. The Weißkopfseadler Ben took the escape around 4 p.m., which caused great excitement. Animal lovers and visitors were quickly informed about the Instagram and Facebook pages of the Zoofalknerei Neunkirchen that you urgently have to search for the eagle.

The exciting news reached the city when a decisive update came on Tuesday morning, October 14th. At 8:30 a.m., Ben was spotted above the Zoo Society, towards Wellesweiler and Bexbach, as was announced in a post of the zoo. This triggered the hope that the eagle could be found quickly.

The find of the eagle and the return

Near the railway bridge in Wellesweiler, an attentive resident reported. He had informed the falcon of the zoo, Bernd Kinder, that Ben was sitting on a tree. "He flew us directly on hand," said children relieved. This obedient return of the eagle was relieved by everyone involved.

After the rediscovery, Ben was immediately brought back by the zoo's employees. It should be noted that a quarantine has now been arranged for the winged friend. This type is standard for animals of this type to ensure the health of Ben and other zoo residents. He has to stay in isolation for the next 30 days.

A similar incident occurred in 2023 when a cordeler-eagle lady named Selly was also flown away at a flight show. She came back two weeks later. The Weißkopfseadler Baby also recently had an outbreak when it was hit by a sudden gust of wind, but returned after a few days. These incidents show the challenges associated with the attitude of exotic animals, and require special attention from nurses and animal owners.
