Giant huge amazing precautions are taken when rearing eagles and condors for the release programs. Keepers never just hand feed the birds. The birds are reared intolerant of humans, fed by species appropriate puppets, while keepers are behind a blind.
They end up not knowing they aren't wild, they are also carefully kept separate from contamination with domestic stock and other caged birds.
This is not true of people trying to pen raise wild turkeys and treating them just like chickens.
