The Imperial Eagle pair at the Green Balkans Rescue Centre has two eggs

The eggs of the pair of Imperial Eagles at the WIldlife Rehabilitation and Breeding Centre are now two! They appeared in the birds' nest consecutively a few days ago.

Although there were observed copulations between the birds and our hope dies last - based on the experience of the Centre's team and history of the eagles we are skeptical the pair will succeed in having offspring.

However, we are leaving the pair to incubate the eggs. We do this for two reasons - the first is to wait and see if this year at last they will be fertilised.

The second reason is not to rob the birds of their parental instincts. For several years in a row they have been successfully rearing as foster parents wild eagle chicks, which for one reason or another have arrived at the Rescue Centre.
