Feathery Friends Friday: This dad rocks

Murphy the bald eagle is entering fatherhood like a pro, building himself a simple nest and incubating his egg like any other dedicated bird parent would. 

The eagle is "very protective" of his egg, squawking at any person or bird coming near it. 

😬 There's just one little problem... Murphy's hatchling is a rock.

  • "He just seems very content with this rock," said an employee of sanctuary where Murphy resides. He diligently turns his rock every few hours like all the other eagle parents. 

❤️ A happy ending: When an orphaned injured eaglet recently came through the sanctuary, the workers introduced it to Murphy – and as it turns out, he makes a pretty good stepdad.
