Martin discusses his occasional use of “Eagle Shoes”. Though not too often, over the years, when an eagle’s feet are not working properly, he gives custom made “shoes” a try to hold the feet in a more natural position and assist with healing.

🔺 Our Mission 🔺
Founded in 1997 in Cedar City Utah, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and education.
_Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release_
The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (SWF) cares for more than 100 sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife annually. Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal.
_Informing, Educating and Inspiring_
The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy.
_Martin Tyner_
Since age twelve, with a bird on his arm, Martin has captivated audiences sharing his knowledge and experience of his wildlife friends.
At age nineteen, Martin was hired as curator of birds of prey at Busch Gardens, CA. He also worked in the movie and television industry training big cats, elephants, primates, sea mammals and raptors.
“One of my greatest childhood fantasies was the desire to create a personal friendship with a wild eagle. I found myself with a love and fascination for these powerful creatures.”
Martin Tyner is a federally licensed falconer, eagle falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, wildlife propagator, and wildlife and environmental educator.
He has been providing wildlife and environmental programs throughout the western United States, to schools, scouts and community groups for over fifty years.
“Grandpa believed in a very simple philosophy; that a person should get up every morning and do good. Doing good means that you do well for others and doing well means that you do good for yourself. There is nothing wrong with doing well, but Grandpa always believed in doing good.”
Martin’s book, Healer of Angels, reflects back on his life: from a young boy terrified of birds to becoming the first man in North America licensed to train a wild golden eagle in the ancient art of falconry.
Through a heartwarming collection of true stories he describes his challenging transformation from a shy dyslexic teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.

Serving life is serving God
Has the eagle made a full recovery? I hope so. It is a beautiful bird.
What a beautiful people who do all they can to help the Eagle and nature . All my respect for you both.
Kind of like snowshoes
Always amazed at how much effort you go through Martin and Susan, to help the eagles and other critters to get back to full health and be able to be released back into the wild. The eagle shoes are an amazing idea! I hope this eagle was able to fully regain it’s function in it’s feet. I am so looking forward to meeting you, Susan, and Scout in Aspen, CO this coming October! I have so many questions to ask you…and I can’t wait to see your presentation at the Aspen Pitkin County Library! My best to you in all the invaluable work you continue to do for wildlife. -Val
Thanks to you Mars Wildlife Rescue🕊✝️🙏🏼❤️🫶🏻God Bless you🫶🏻
You guy never fail to amaze me! Love ya!! 🦅
What a great example of excellent physical and occupational therapy.!
oh my, that is so sad. that is awesome Martin you can do that. Sounds like your going to be expanding your collection of personal bird sanctuary and maybe later build your own birds a lovely playful pens that they can stay in and move around, like the ones in your basement and they could have a more fulfilling free sorta movement playpen, if you will. i dont like animals caged up or tied up. they need at least daily walking and play to keep engaged i would think. but i know some birds depending on their disabilities may not be able too but mayne a bigger enclosure with a clap om their wing if they can not fly do to disabilties
i wonder if thick leather pad and leather strings could work, sorta like a sock type, like ther head covering are made out of yet they can learn yo grip alittle
like a thick comfy leather bootie the head covering are mad of with holes for each claw or open end backside. would be comfy less constraining. you got this Martin
You two are so amazing!!! It breathtaking at times!!! you help the birds to coop and relieve the stress and depression they must ne feeling so they can be able to move alittle keeps them encouraged and trying
Consider contacting your local occupational therapist! He/she has access to thermoplastic materials that can be molded with relatively low heat. We use materials all the time to make braces for human hand use.
I saw a video of an Australian vet who used craft foam and velcro to make a shoe for a pelican who had lost part of her foot. This eagle was soo patient while you taped on the shoes. I notice you even put little gauze pads around each foot to cushion it. Such attention to detail. Thank you Susan for assisting by holding the Eagle. I do hope this eagle's out come is good. Each and every eagle is so precious. Love and HUGS.
Why don't you contact a neurosurgeon? It could be something a simple surgery can help: maybe a pinched nerve. If it's something more serious, like a severed nerve, it can't be helped and you'd euthanize him anyway, can't hurt to try. I'm sure some neurosurgeon would be curious to see what's what.
😎 cool
So how is this bird doing? Did he make it or was the damage too bad? I'm hoping that you were able to help him. However it looked like the damage might be permanent 🙁 either way I'm glad you gave him a shot. A chance. Whereas most would have given up. You're the best. Thank you guys for all that you do. But I am wondering what happened to this boy.
Thank you for caring for these beautiful birds!
Martin, you should apply for a patent so other "trained" bird handlers might save the birds the way you do and it would be extra revenue for you for your sanctuary, God gave you such a gift in how to handle, care for, honor and love the great birds of the sky, so He has placed this on your heart to pursue. I never cease to marvel an your ingenuity and tender hands when you hold a bird. You are truly one in a million! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and for inspiriting us all to look to the skies for the beauty that only a glance away! (P.S.: I sew and I was thinking that perhaps you could purchase very thin velcro strips that you could use as your final wrap around each talon after you wrap the gauge. That way you could get them on and off a wee bit faster? You could try it. :o))) We all love you and Susan Martin.
You rock , Martin …
I have to say that your idea looks much more comfortable, but I guess whatever works. Very cool! That bird acted like he knew you were trying to help! Shame he couldn't hear the music, it was perfect!
I hope the procedure works . Such a delicate situation to deal with . Good luck
Keep us posted on the eagles recovery please
Beautiful!
I’ve made padded shoes for a chicken with bumblefoot. I used pipe cleaners, foam and vetwrap ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for showing all the steps clearly.
Great eagle cobblery 👍🏼
Made me cry. Thank God for you!
Cool 😎 thanks for the update
I'm a Nurse and I've seen the same type of "involuntary" muscle contraction with human patients primarily after a stroke, or moderate head trauma. Typical treatments are to brace, massage, repeat until the spasms stop then we would start physical therapy. It's remarkable that the same type of treatment has been successful with these beautiful birds. Martin has saved these birds from a life of pain, or even from euthanasia!🙏♥️🙏
* I'm curious if a plastic mold could be made by putting the foot into a wax or gel mold then making a hard plastic like cast/brace as we do for the human patients???***
Martin the mad scientist!
Your remarkable Martin, God Bless You😘🙏❤
interesting idea !! 💡🦅
how do you test for crushing/gripping strength after the shoes come off?
Love those feet! Beautiful feet and beautiful bird!
how did this eagle do?
Why did you not let everyone know what happened to this eagle after the shoes and all the therapy? It must not have made it. ..🥲.. .otherwise you would have said something. At least you tried. Some things are beyond our control.
Martin, this is so genius and thoughtful. There are naturalists who feel we shouldn't "interfere" and animals need to deal with their issues or disabilities on their own. Then there are wiser people who say, no, I'm going to do better and try and help. That's the team I'm on. I love these shoes! You can almost see the eagle's bewilderment wearing them.😄
