How long does it take to train our eagles before they can go live? Both Spirit and Nova are getting pretty old.

The article says Spirit was found in 1995 and Nova was hatched in '99, so 22 and 17 years old. I don't want Spirit to croak out mid flight to add to his already unorthodox pre-game flights.

I am going to share something with you folks.
I was at the last flight for Tiger before the Georgia game. When she was flying and everyone was yelling' War Eagle' I was unable to participate because I was in tears. I tried to yell but couldn't do it. i was overcome with Tiger doing her best for the last time.

Sounds about right. I'm used to awful football, but that was a special level. It didn't help that the team I'd left behind (kinda) was finally not shite.

My girlfriend is a vet student and her friends work around Nova, said unfortunately Nova is approaching the end of life and that Nova would likely drop from the sky if it tried to fly for any prolonged period.

Although I thought that had happened to Tiger one year against Vandy. She flew a normal flight, but instead of going to the bait at midfield, she just coast down to the ground in the NW corner, over by section 46.
