Oregon state police got it right

[Kiwibird]

Seems they got a dangerous criminal off the streets (out of the trees?). No doubt this guy is guilty as charged

J/K of course! Just so funny to see a bird in the back of a cop car (though if it were an amazon, one would genuinely wonder/know a serious crime had been committed). Glad our state police were able to rescue this beautiful bird and I hope 'he' makes a full recovery

That is so awesome! I bet that was a first for them. Hoping he makes a complete recovery.

Aww - too cute!

In that part of Oregon, it's more criminal critters than humans anyway

Did they put on the cuffs?

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, thanks for this.
Yeah, I hope the bird has a full recovery!!!!
Beautiful!

Yup. There's the Portland metro area and Eugene, then there's the rest of the state, ALL small town or outright rural.

We do apparently have a diverse number of BOP species here, including good sized bald and golden eagle populations. I did some research a while back into BOPs of Oregon due to a rather large BOP who's moved into our area I strongly suspect to be a golden eagle, though it has eluded all attempts to photograph it as of yet

Yeah, hahah, I grew up in that rural area, right next to a BLM road Great childhood place and a large part of the reason why I'm going stir-crazy without a non-human companion right now

Good luck snapping a photo of the big guy! I used to see them all the time, but never snapped a photo. Do share when you manage it

I'm sure that turned a few heads of passers by.
Good to hear the eagle went to a good place to get better

Hmmm, very likely that poor Eagle was talked into taking the fall by a couple of Amazons. Who's names shall be held for the protection of their Human Staff.

Glad, that the big guy is being cared for and with hope will be returning to the wild soon.

Hey I grew up in Oregon and we believe in justice! No matter who did the crime they do the time even if they have feathers.
