Live predator captured

[Buremu Sarapio]

An eagle was trying to sweep off with my chicks but lucky for it got caught in my anti bird net,what should I do with it since I'm an nature lover & it's still alive

If you already have it untangled and in a sack, release it.

You HAVE to let it go. It's illegal to kill it.

I had an owl get caught in some netting. We managed to get in in a cage and a wildlife rescue came and got it. I was surprised the owl didn't fight us. It went in the cage upside down but it went in. We used some good heavy duty leather gloves but it didn't struggle. We may have been lucky.

I think it's illegal just to capture one. If it's stuck in your netting, you're going to need to call wildlife people to get it loose. An eagle can hurt you bad.

That too, but I think (hope) op gets some slack since she didn't intentionally catch that specific bird

Most officers are very understanding. I doubt there will be an issue.

Don’t touch it. Call a game warden or wild life officer whoever. They’re trained to deal with nature. You could end up hurting the eagle unintentionally if you try to untangle it or get yourself hurt.

Release it back into the wild.
It is a wild bird. So glad you had that net in place.

Great idea, but first they have to get it out of the net, which from my experience may not be an easy task.

Thanks guys let me try contacting the wildlife authorities & see if they can help don't judge me but I already put it in a sack

I wish I would have gotten a picture of the owl when it was tangled in my netting but all I could think about at the time was getting it out of the netting into a cage. It was very hot out.
