My first major exhibit, the first major exhibit I developed at the zoo was a flight cage, a free flight for birds of prey, bird of prey flight cage. It was 70 feet tall, 60 feet wide, and 160 feet long. It was built on a hillside. And eventually that cage, that display, we were able to reproduce bald eagles. And at that time there were only a few pairs of bald eagles, because of the use of DDT and transforming to DDE, which produced thin-shelled eggs for bald eagles. Wouldn’t support the bird’s weight. Bald eagle had virtually disappeared from Ohio. There were a few nesting pairs, so we are reproducing bald eagles, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources would come take the chicks out and were replacing them in nests through the community throughout the Ohio area.
