Description

This book brings together the writings of David Fleay as he attempted to educate his fellow Australians on the attributes of the Wedge-tailed Eagle. A bird that was once seen as an enemy to the pastoral industry and was eventually granted total protection. Then the common sight of rows of Wedge-tail bodies strung along barbed wire fences, those gruesome trophies, disappeared from the rural scene. David Fleay’s final success in breeding the Wedge-tailed Eagle in captivity took place in 1977 after 42 years of dedicated attempts. These writings show the total admiration and respect expressed by David Fleay for the Wedge-tailed Eagles.
