Heartwarming Orphaned Eagle Adopts A Rock And Does Everything He Can To Make It Hatch, So His Rescuers Gave Him An Orphaned Baby Eagle To Nurture (Video)
Welcome to the weekend dear animal loving hoomans, it has finally come and like the regal eagle we are covering in today's list, it is time to spread your wings and soar! Which is exactly why we brought you this wholesome and heartwarming animal video, to get you in the weekend mood and to help you shake off the work week grumpies. Our eponymous hero, Murphy, went viral a little while ago for adopting a rock as his egg in order to fulfill his nurturing instincts. Morphy sat and cared for the egg for weeks, trying everything he could to make his adopted offspring hatch.
However, after trying and trying, his carers took note of his efforts and decided it was time to bestow upon him an orphaned baby eagle who was in need of a parent to care for it and raise it. And suffice it to say, that this dynamic duo hit it off straight away and are destined to become lifelong buddies of the skies. Now that is one wholesome way to kick-start your weekend.

"Murphy, a 31-year-old bald eagle, desperately wanted to be a dad, so much so that he started taking care of a rock like it was a baby."
It is hard to blame Murphy for catching the baby feels at his ripe age. Most of us hoomans have gone baby mad by this age and as we know all too well it is hard to ignore those maternal and paternal urges. And there is a good chance that we too would adopt a rock out of desperation, if we did not have the option of adopting animals…

Just look at his dedication, at his commitment to caring for this rock 'egg'. Unfortunately, Murphy had to be relocated to his own enclosure when he became too defensive off his rock baby. However, this intense commitment to protecting his young is what prompted his carers to give him his own baby eagle, so who is to say what is a disproportionate response.
