These barred windows keep the Eaglets safe from predators while still allowing them to view fish on the surface of the lake below. Vertical bars are also installed on a large front window that can be pulled up, via rope and pulley, when the Eagles of any cage are ready for release. The compartments are side by side, with vertical bars-conduit pipes-spaced 4-inches apart in the center, separating each compartment. In addition, perches are in place to serve as branches for the young eaglets to practice branching, ‘wingercizing,’ and hovering in place. The AEF creates an environment inside the compartment that mimics the feel of their natural nest, with sticks around the edges and soft nesting materials inside. The size of each compartment is approximately 8 feet x 8 feet x 8 feet. It sits high above a secluded and private cove where humans do not disturb.įour hack compartments are constructed atop a 20-foot tower. The Douglas Lake Hack Tower is located approximately 25 miles northwest of the Pigeon Forge facility and approximately 2 miles south of Dandridge, Tennessee. The principle behind Eagle Hacking is that Eagles tend to return to the area from which they were raised and fledged (within approximately 75 miles) after they reach sexual maturity at 4 to 5 years age and choose a lifelong mate. Hacking is the method used to simulate Eagle nesting and Eagle population recovery in a particular area by releasing fledgling Eagles into the wild from an artificial nesting tower.

The AEF has even rescued Bald Eagle eggs from potentially dangerous nesting sites (such as a lighting tower in a professional baseball park), and brought them safely back to our incubators, caring for them diligently, and ultimately releasing them into the wild. In addition, the AEF often receives Eaglets from other organizations that do not have their own release facility and also Eaglets that have fallen out of their nests in the wild, caring for or rehabilitating them until they can be released or providing a forever home for them if they sustained injuries which rendered them non-releasable. Once a captive-hatched Eaglet at the American Eagle Foundation reaches 6-8 weeks of age, it graduates to the AEF’s Hack Tower on Douglas Lake in East Tennessee to prepare for its release into the wild. The AEF’s Hacking program has resulted in the the release of 180 young Bald Eagles and 11 Golden Eagles into the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee from 1992 through 2020. Each hack room has a maximum capacity of 3 Eaglets.
