Shoes For Eagles 

Martin discusses his occasional use of "Eagle Shoes". Though not too often, over the years, when an eagle's feet are not working properly, he gives custom made "shoes" a try to hold the feet in a more natural position and assist with healing. 🔺 Big Changes in 2021 🔺 The Latest on us: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dRP5ArADwVw.html 🔺Healer of Angels 🔺 Signed copy only from our site: www.gowildlife.org/healer-of-angels/ Kindle & Paperback from Amazon (with International delivery options): www.amazon.com/dp/B08YHXYLDH 🔺Mailing Lists🔺 www.gowildlife.org/lists/ Monthly Review and/or As-it-Happens + video notifications! 🔺We Help Critters T-Shirt 🔺 teespring.com/we-help-critters-revised 🔺Ways to help 🔺 RU-vid Donate Button (see top corner of video page) Donate at our site: www.gowildlife.org/ Donate at Facebook: facebook.com/southwestwildlifefoundation/ Donate Bitcoin: commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/50e24243-7b19-4a18-b300-db8eff66978a Purchase Martin's Book: www.gowildlife.org/healer-of-angels/ Rodent Pro Gift Certificates: www.gowildlife.org/get-involved/#add Cal Ranch Gift Card: www.calranch.com/c-a-l-ranch-gift-card.html Amazon Smile: smile.amazon.com/ch/87-0570151 Charity Wishlist: smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/28QB4BKFPV9XJ/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl 🔺 Mail Donations 🔺 You are welcome to mail us a donation or call to ask any questions about our organization.

Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal. _Informing, Educating and Inspiring_ The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy. _Martin Tyner_ Since age twelve, with a bird on his arm, Martin has captivated audiences sharing his knowledge and experience of his wildlife friends. At age nineteen, Martin was hired as curator of birds of prey at Busch Gardens, CA. He also worked in the movie and television industry training big cats, elephants, primates, sea mammals and raptors. “One of my greatest childhood fantasies was the desire to create a personal friendship with a wild eagle. I found myself with a love and fascination for these powerful creatures.” Martin Tyner is a federally licensed falconer, eagle falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, wildlife propagator, and wildlife and environmental educator. He has been providing wildlife and environmental programs throughout the western United States, to schools, scouts and community groups for over fifty years. “Grandpa believed in a very simple philosophy; that a person should get up every morning and do good. Doing good means that you do well for others and doing well means that you do good for yourself. There is nothing wrong with doing well, but Grandpa always believed in doing good.” Martin's book, Healer of Angels, reflects back on his life: from a young boy terrified of birds to becoming the first man in North America licensed to train a wild golden eagle in the ancient art of falconry. Through a heartwarming collection of true stories he describes his challenging transformation from a shy dyslexic teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.

You are so kind, gentle, and loving with all these beautiful blessings from heaven. Thank you for taking such excellent care of them, "Dr. Do-A-Lot." - ALL of you!

You are a gift to this world. We need more people like you:)

You're the kindest people on Earth. Much love to you both and all who contribute to your eagle rescues! ❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️

Beautiful. I love watching you & Susan care for these beautiful majestic creatures. The world is a better & brighter place with y'all in it. ❤

You folks are a blessing to the creatures of our planet. I cant thank you enough for the selfless care you provide for its wildlife.

You are genious Martin! What you and Susan have done for the wildlife is remarkable!❤

I love what you (Martin&susan) guy doing Hope you get the support you need for this beautiful project.

Extremely impressive that this idea was conceived and used successfully. Making these shoes and the way they are applied and wrapped in gauze was genius. There was also an emotional side to this story and this poor docile Eagle. I pray there was a good ending to his story and he regains/regained the use of his feet. What a sweet Eagle, the way he looked up and was so inquisitive and concerned, melted my heart. I wanted to take care of him forever after watching this🦅💙

What an amazing eagle. So patient with his shoe fittingr process. Good luck and thanks!

I've missed so much Martin. I am so happy to see you. Susan

Thanks for all you and Susan do to help all the animals in need. Much love and respect.

Hi Martin, you are truly incredible. I never would have imagined eagle shoes. Wow! This video was remarkable. That eagle was just beautiful. It was amazing to watch him walk around in the shoes. I hope he continues t heal under your tender, loving, and devoted care.

God bless you and your team for the noble work you do to save and care for these unfortunate animals. Without you, these animals have little or no chance of survival. Please keep us updated on this majestic eagle.

I love how innovative you are, creating solutions to care for and comfort our beautiful winged friends. We pray he fully heals and graces our skies once again. Living your lives in service to others, is lovingly expressed. 🕊💕

So wonderful how you help these eagles!!!❤️

I admire what Martin and his friends are doing..so commendable..

Twain (Mark, not Shanaiya) said that history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes. It's cool seeing two different organizations come up with a solution for an important problem. Well done. :)

Look at that Eagle….sweet thing. He seems to know your not going to hurt him. That’s one very fortunate Eagle to be in your hands. Your really something else Martin! God Bless you dear……

Thank you Martin for all you've done for wildlife rescue over the years. What a vast wealth of knowledge & experience you bring. You are invaluable & a treasure.

The eagle shoes are amazing! Hopefully this eagle will fully recover. Watching it look around while the shoes were being taped on was adorable. I know eagles are wild, but I think they know they are being helped. They don’t like it, but they know. Thank you both for all of the time y’all dedicate to the care of these creatures.

What an delight to watch this creative inovative solution to heal and strengthen their feet back to normal after nervo dammage. I hope that in a while his feet will work properly so that he can return where he belongs, if not you did your utmost best to comfort him. He is an very sweet boy and he seems to understand that you two were helping him. I love Scout talking in the back, calling out for you. Brilliant video. 🇳🇱🌬💞

Oh and Casey's track playing along is such an hopegiving tune, it suits beautifully with the therapy. Thank you so much for all the help you give the wildlife. Wonderful. 🇳🇱🌬💞

Thank you your an Angel 😇 💗

Gor bless you Martin and Susan giving the eagle.a fighting chance. You two are amazing!❤🥰

That was wonderful !!! Really reminded me of what physical therapy does for us humans… splints then exercising the damaged area.. practice walking.. more splints & more stretches. You all are -SO- creative !! Wonderful interventions to save Gods critters. 👍👌👍👌👍👌😍. ♥️ to you two.

Many blessings on you guys and all you do!

One has to be in awe/admiration of the size of the actual species and how well you both handle this eagle. With so much compassion, devotion and tenacity that you both have shown on every vid, no matter the species, I am totally overwhelmed with your love, wisdom and abundance of unique therapies and patience. It is your driving force that has saved many wildlife and given much humanity to our world. God bless you both and the many volunteers/sponsors. To instill hope and kindness, it is truly phenomenal.

I hope the eagle heals up and gets better. You guys do amazing work!

Martin, this is so genius and thoughtful. There are naturalists who feel we shouldn't "interfere" and animals need to deal with their issues or disabilities on their own. Then there are wiser people who say, no, I'm going to do better and try and help. That's the team I'm on. I love these shoes! You can almost see the eagle's bewilderment wearing them.😄

How about that! Customized orthopedic Air Jordan's from Tyner Industries. You never cease to amaze, Dr Martin. Those talons never cease to amaze me. Prayers tonight for that beautiful, incredible animal. Thank-you Belle for your background vocal support, too. Thanks too for our Northern neighbors and their care and support for our fine feathered friends.

I really love these stories of kindness and possible successful rescue, thank you. Can you share how the eagle is doing? Did he recover?

A good idea for a t-shirt would be a peace sign with Scout`s pawprint

I'm soooo glad you wrapped each toe with gauze first. Some people are so allergic to the adhesive in the tape. If you used that tape on my mother, her skin would look like you applied acid where the tape was. She got like a third degree burn. The gauze protects their skin. 💖🌞🌵😷

I saw a video of an Australian vet who used craft foam and velcro to make a shoe for a pelican who had lost part of her foot. This eagle was soo patient while you taped on the shoes. I notice you even put little gauze pads around each foot to cushion it. Such attention to detail. Thank you Susan for assisting by holding the Eagle. I do hope this eagle's out come is good. Each and every eagle is so precious. Love and HUGS.

He probably feels like hes walking in swim flippers but its such an improvement!

61st LIKE posted at the 12:48 segment: dare I call it Martin & Susan's Nail Salon - remarkable to see the innovations and care to restore use of those powerful feet/talons. Like me as a kid, breaking in a new pair of Keds. HA. Cheers.

This man. And Sue too. Both amazing. Thank you for everything you do. ❤

What a beautiful people who do all they can to help the Eagle and nature . All my respect for you both.

You two are angels straight from heaven

God inspires those who do his work in the world. God Bless.

Love you two for what you do

You guys are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for all you do to help the wildlife and sharing such amazing videos.

What a great example of excellent physical and occupational therapy.!

Made me cry. Thank God for you!

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing your technique with the rest of us! I enjoyed seeing the technique used by the Canadian raptor rehabbers also. This is a great teaching video for anyone who works with injured raptors, as well as for the general public.

God bless you both for your innovation and creativity in working with these beautiful creatures of God.. Such devotion and compassion.. It's unparalleled! I'm hoping you are able to give us an update. This precious eagle deserves every opportunity to soar high in the heavenly skies and he is being afforded every opportunity to do so with your help Martin and Susan.. My prayers are with all of you 🤗♥️

Welcome back Mr Martin

Incredible work, thank you!

The beautiful eagle is just looking at you! Your both so kind and lovely ❤

Amazing and creative problem solutions yall are awesome. You can make them for hawks too and falcons even. Feet are important when its how they eat.

Both of you are beyond amazing.

so loving,thank God for people like you . Beautiful.

At 19:24 - Lady! You're stronger than me. That's for sure. I'd never be able to hold that bird up for that long like you do! ❣️❣️❣️

I'm a Nurse and I've seen the same type of "involuntary" muscle contraction with human patients primarily after a stroke, or moderate head trauma. Typical treatments are to brace, massage, repeat until the spasms stop then we would start physical therapy. It's remarkable that the same type of treatment has been successful with these beautiful birds. Martin has saved these birds from a life of pain, or even from euthanasia!🙏♥️🙏 *** I'm curious if a plastic mold could be made by putting the foot into a wax or gel mold then making a hard plastic like cast/brace as we do for the human patients???***

What a beauty: please keep us informed of his progress. He is in the very best hands. I think this is the first time I have seen Susan handle a golden eagle.

A genius idea Martin!! You and Susan work so well together. I just love how you go the exes mile for these precious birds, they surely deserve it. Thank you!! 👏

Eagle shoes! Love to you both for all you do.

Martin, you should apply for a patent so other "trained" bird handlers might save the birds the way you do and it would be extra revenue for you for your sanctuary, God gave you such a gift in how to handle, care for, honor and love the great birds of the sky, so He has placed this on your heart to pursue. I never cease to marvel an your ingenuity and tender hands when you hold a bird. You are truly one in a million! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and for inspiriting us all to look to the skies for the beauty that only a glance away! (P.S.: I sew and I was thinking that perhaps you could purchase very thin velcro strips that you could use as your final wrap around each talon after you wrap the gauge. That way you could get them on and off a wee bit faster? You could try it. :o))) We all love you and Susan Martin.

You and Susan are a wonderful TEAM.... Blessings to both of you Thank you for sharing your insights, trials, successes. Pray this IS successful for this eagle

Get well soon baby boy or girl 🙏🙏🦅🦅

Martin in medicine we call these shoes foot orthotics. They are used to correct a deformity or accommodate a deformity.

Consider contacting your local occupational therapist! He/she has access to thermoplastic materials that can be molded with relatively low heat. We use materials all the time to make braces for human hand use.

Love those feet! Beautiful feet and beautiful bird!

Beautiful Martin and Susan.

❤

Hello Master ✨🤩

Totally outstanding work, Susan and Martin!❤️😁

You rock , Martin ...

Thank you for caring for these beautiful birds!

Keep us posted on the eagles recovery please

I have to say that your idea looks much more comfortable, but I guess whatever works. Very cool! That bird acted like he knew you were trying to help! Shame he couldn't hear the music, it was perfect!

angels do exist !

Thank you for showing all the steps clearly. Great eagle cobblery 👍🏼

I hope the procedure works . Such a delicate situation to deal with . Good luck

Brilliant.. KUDOS to this ANIMAL ANGEL. he is is truly dedicated...godspeed in all you do to save these magnificent creatures . You should tryto get the specialized companies who help farm animals ..horse..wildlife with creating animal specific shoes leg braces ...i am sure they would appreciate your expertise.

like a thick comfy leather bootie the head covering are mad of with holes for each claw or open end backside. would be comfy less constraining. you got this Martin

Beautiful

Wow look at you! @ 1:13 Thank you for sharing another bit of your history you have with these majestic birds.

You guy never fail to amaze me! Love ya!! 🦅

Wow! He is coming along, He knows that you are doing this to help him. It is just a slow progress. Keep on, both of you! ❤️

You are amazing!!!

He had a very bad luck. I hope he can still hunt. He is very smart by the way...

Haha, this eagle seems to be thinking behind closed doors😂🦅

You two are so amazing!!! It breathtaking at times!!! you help the birds to coop and relieve the stress and depression they must ne feeling so they can be able to move alittle keeps them encouraged and trying

Genius!!!

Martin the mad scientist!

I had to do something similar for several pigeons with stringfoot issues. The toes were tied up but after cleaning they had no muscle left and were limp. Cotton makeup pads and sport medical tape :)

Always amazed at how much effort you go through Martin and Susan, to help the eagles and other critters to get back to full health and be able to be released back into the wild. The eagle shoes are an amazing idea! I hope this eagle was able to fully regain it’s function in it’s feet. I am so looking forward to meeting you, Susan, and Scout in Aspen, CO this coming October! I have so many questions to ask you…and I can’t wait to see your presentation at the Aspen Pitkin County Library! My best to you in all the invaluable work you continue to do for wildlife. -Val

I did bird rehab back in the nineties and it was extremely fulfilling. Love to get involved again on some level.

Beautiful! I’ve made padded shoes for a chicken with bumblefoot. I used pipe cleaners, foam and vetwrap ❤️❤️❤️

Your remarkable Martin, God Bless You😘🙏❤

2:52 not something you hear everyday 😄😁

Amazing, they you for help them … Question why the eagle is so calm ?

SWEET!

I miss your rescues videos sooo much :(. Will you guys be posting anymore soon? They’re my absolute favorite🥺🥺🙏🏼

Have you considered a 3d printer? There are templates for leg splints, prosthetics etc

Cool 😎 thanks for the update

👍thanks for sharing this.
