In the wild, bald eagles live near the water so they can hunt their primary food source: fish. As a form of enrichment, keepers sometimes give the Zoo's two bald eagles, Annie and Tioga, live goldfish. Since these birds cannot fly, neither of them truly hunt, but they will come down from their perch and exercise their instinct to catch fish. Annie, shown here, spent a portion of her life in the wild before she was injured and rescued. She seems to have a stronger instinct to hunt moving prey.
