Crazy Horse and Juliette

Crazy Horse

Crazy Horse, a male Bald Eagle, was shot in 1985 in Missouri as a young bird. His left wing tip was hit by a bullet creating extensive damage. The wing tip had to be amputated, rendering him flightless.

In 1991, Crazy Horse arrived at the American Eagle Foundation's (formerly National Foundation to Protect America's Eagles) education, breeding, and rehabilitation center in Pigeon Forge, TN. Crazy Horse has had a very full life at the AEF facility. One year, he was trained to do environmental education shows as a stand-in for one of our star Bald Eagles, Osceola.

Crazy Horse now lives in the AEF's "Eagle Mountain Sanctuary" aviary on the Dollywood entertainment park in Pigeon Forge, TN. Recently, he has been spending much time with one female named Juliette.

The AEF releases all of the young eaglets produced at the facility into the wild, so this gives Crazy Horse an opportunity to contribute to the wild population of Bald Eagles in Tennessee.

Juliette

Juliette is a female Bald Eagle. Her age is unknown. She was found as an adult near Broad Creek in Peril Strait, Alaska on August 4, 1992. She had been shot in the left shoulder. The bullet grazed the shoulder, leaving her with a deep wound that exposed the bone. She was sent to the Alaska Raptor Rehab Center (A.R.R.C.) in Sitka, Alaska for rehabilitation. Her wound healed nicely, but she cannot fly well enough to be released into the wild.

Some Girl Scouts who volunteered their time to help A.R.R.C. named her Juliette after the founder of the Girl Scouts, Juliette Lowe.

Juliette stayed at the A.R.R.C. for two years and was then transferred to the American Eagle Foundation (formerly National Foundation to Protect America's Eagles) for breeding and educational exhibition purposes. After a short period in quarantine, she was placed in the AEF's "Eagle Mountain Sanctuary" aviary on the Dollywood park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Recently, she has been spending much time with one male named Crazy Horse.

Raising a Family

Crazy Horse and Juliette were given their own enclosure and hopefully the two will accept each other, breed, and raise healthy young that can be released into the wild.

They are viewed by nearly 2 million Dollywood visitors annually and help educate people about the need to protect eagles and their habitat.
