A GOLDEN eagle has been reunited with its owner after going missing eight days ago. Mr Nugent said he was extremely worried for the missing bird’s welfare because it had never hunted for food in the wild and because he was afraid someone might shoot it. I don’t think he ate for the week,” Mr Nugent said. Mr Nugent added that his biggest fear was that a farmer would shoot Kalin for fear of him harming their cattle. Mr Nugent said he spent the last eight days “worried sick” about the missing animal, but that he was heartened by the public response.
