The sanctuary said that all of its birds had access to shelters to protect themselves from severe weather, and that the storm on March 14, which killed 12 people in Missouri, had not required any bird evacuations since no tornadoes approached the facility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhile we do everything that we can to keep our birds safe,\u201d the statement added, \u201caccidents outside of our control can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Roger Holloway, the sanctuary\u2019s executive director, said in an interview on Sunday that although strong winds and some hail had struck the sanctuary, neither Murphy\u2019s enclosure nor the other eagles inside it appeared to have been affected. One possibility is that Murphy had been knocked on the head by a hailstone, Mr. Holloway said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Murphy, who could not fly, had lived at the sanctuary since the 1990s. He gained international fame about two years ago after his keepers \u2014 noticing his tenacity and dedication to a small, meteorite-shaped rock upon which he brooded \u2014 entrusted him with a real charge: A tiny eaglet that had fallen from a tree in a storm and was in dire need of a parent. He was the only bald eagle that has ever been a foster parent at the sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Murphy rose to the challenge, responding to the chick\u2019s peeps, protecting it and tearing a whole fish into smaller pieces that the eaglet could eat. Though Murphy, who had wing damage, could not teach the eaglet to fly or hunt, he proved to be a devoted dad. His story inspired <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/photos\/2597812-im-not-the-step-dad-im-the-dad-that-stepped-up\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">memes<\/a>, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/550342449262027\/?multi_permalinks=1437015030594760&amp;hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">illustrations<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/palmpals.com\/products\/33876-murphy-bald-eagle\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a plush toy<\/a>, and also won him <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thatgoodnewsgirl\/video\/7375623670556937514\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">scores of fans<\/a> worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Murphy\u2019s eaglet grew strong and was eventually released into the wild, according to the sanctuary. So keepers gave him <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CfwwstOBSh0\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">another eaglet<\/a> to foster. That second bird is still in the sanctuary\u2019s care, the sanctuary said, and is progressing toward release by this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMurphy helped him to really get to the end point of growing up,\u201d Mr. Holloway said of the second eaglet, noting that the elder bird helped the younger one \u201cto know he was an eagle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAll Murphy had to do was sit there and look like an eagle and eat and preen and just do what eagles do,\u201d Mr. Holloway said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As Murphy\u2019s keepers mourned his loss, they said, they also felt grateful for the several years he had lived beyond a bald eagle\u2019s typical life span, which is 20 to 25 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHis resilience, spirit, and dedication as a foster dad touched the hearts of millions of people throughout the world,\u201d the sanctuary said in its statement, adding, \u201cWe are devastated by this loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The World Bird Sanctuary said it had learned a lot by observing Murphy with his eaglets, which were the first it had received in more than a decade. The center has since designed special aviaries \u201cto serve the specific needs of injured and orphaned raptors.\u201d The sanctuary said it plans to name that facility \u201cMurphy\u2019s Manor\u201d in his honor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBirds of prey are apex predators,\u201d Mr. Holloway said, \u201cbut they have that tender side too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside
