It's National Bald Eagle Appreciation Day!

We love our Auburn Eagles, here's some fun facts about Spirit and Indy.

SPIRIT
-> Spirit became an ambassador for Bald Eagles after being deemed non-releasable due to her damaged beak. 
-> She made 47 pre-game flights before retiring from flight duties. 
-> Spirit's last flight was before the Auburn vs. Mississippi State game on November 13th, 2021. 

INDY
-> Indy joined the center in 2018 after a wing injury in a Florida rehabilitation center. Despite healing, she imprinted on people during her time in rehab, making her non-releasable. 
-> She made her debut pre-game flight in September 2021 and has flown before three Auburn Tiger football games. 
-> She is the second Bald Eagle to participate in the tradition, following Spirit.

Thank you to the auraptorcenter for all of the information!
