00:00In this video, the Philippine Eagle female, Narija, is taking a rest.
00:07The bird is cleaning her body.
00:11Later, the bird will try to fly inside her enclosure.
00:21You can see that Narija is getting stronger.
00:25She was rescued from being trapped in the Apayaw Mountain.
00:30I went to the place where I saw the eagle, Narija.
00:35Ariel was in the forest when she saw the eagle trapped in the cliff.
00:41She has a wound on her foot and is weakening when she sees it.
00:46What did you do when you saw it?
00:49They put it in a sack, Doc.
00:52They put it in the cage.
00:54This is the first time I saw the eagle.
00:56Why didn't you let her go that day when she was trapped?
01:01She said she wouldn't let her go because she has a wound on her foot.
01:07She wants to take care of it before she goes.
01:10Because she knows that it's the Philippine Eagle.
01:13It's too soon, Doc.
01:15It's too soon.
01:17It's too soon.
01:19It's too soon.
01:21It's too soon.
01:22It's too soon.
01:24She already knows that it's the Philippine Eagle.
01:26The DNR and the Philippine Eagle Foundation immediately responded to the eagle.
01:32They took a blood sample and found out that it's a female.
01:37That's why it's named Narija Kabugaw,
01:41which means Beautiful Kabugaw.
01:45Kabugaw also has a brood patch or a mark where she is taking care of a young Philippine Eagle.
01:52After almost a month of rehabilitation,
01:57Kabugaw is now fit for release.
02:08It's the Philippine Eagle.
02:11We can see the injuries that she suffered from the eagle.
02:17But now she's fine.
02:19I saw her leg band.
02:22What number is it? 73?
02:2473.
02:26So we have coding, Doc Nielsen, for all of our tagged eagles.
02:31So the code is unique to her.
02:33And then blue leg band is given to our female eagles on the right leg.
02:40And then green leg bands for males on the left leg.
02:47Eagle.
02:50Before releasing her to the wild,
02:53Narija needs to be given a transmitter.
02:56This is a way for her to be tracked.
03:00They observed a brood patch here.
03:04The brood patch is here, in her beak.
03:08This part here,
03:11if they don't incubate,
03:16there will be a lot of frogs.
03:18But when they're starting to incubate their eggs or brood their chicks,
03:24it's important for the feathers to disappear
03:28to generate heat.
03:30When you feel it, it's very warm.
03:32She has a wound here.
03:35This is from a report made by a vet in Lawag
03:41that there's an entry of a bullet.
03:44This is what's called a wing web.
03:46So her left wing web has a bullet.
03:51It's an old bullet wound.
03:55Digits are complete.
03:58They're intact.
04:00Her talons are not fractured.
04:05The right eye,
04:08the cornea looks clear.
04:10There are no scratches.
04:12There are no signs of injury.
04:15She has a little damage, probably from the enclosure.
04:19Because she's wild,
04:21it's natural for them to want to escape
04:24and get injured.
04:26But it's very minor.
04:28With the DNR and PEF,
04:31we'll bring Rhea to her release site.
04:35It's too hot outside,
04:37so she's inside the vehicle.
04:44After 10 minutes,
04:46we arrived at the release site.
05:01She'll observe for a while.
05:23Finally, Rhea is home.
06:00She passed the Information Education Campaign, or IEC,
06:05to the residents here in the area.
06:07You will be her help.
06:11If we don't include the community,
06:15all the conservation efforts of the government
06:20and the conservationists
06:22will not be successful.
06:25We think it's possible
06:27to reintroduce or translocate
06:32surplus birds,
06:34or unpaired immature birds,
06:38to Mindanao.
06:40You're right,
06:42we think all the suitable habitats are occupied
06:45in Mindanao.
06:47Then we have surplus birds.
06:50Interestingly,
06:52based on the species distribution modeling,
06:54there are forests in Luzon
06:56that we think are vacant
06:58that we can translocate or release eagles.
07:01For instance, the forest in Subic,
07:03Bataan, Zambales, and Mt. Banahaw.
07:07There are no more Philippine eagles
07:09found in these places.
07:11The endemic Philippine eagle
07:13can be found in Mindanao, Samar, Leyte,
07:17and other parts of Luzon.
07:19Currently,
07:20more than 130 pairs of birds
07:23are found in Luzon.
07:25Third,
07:27there are no recordings of sightings here.
