Bird life in Salonika: officer and golden eagle
This magnificent golden eagle belongs to an officer on the Balkan front, and is so tame that strangers can handle him. When first caught he was only just fledged, a mere ball of fluffy feathers, but he flourished exceedingly in captivity and does full credit to his upbringing. He takes long flights daily, but never fails to return to his master, with who he is here seen indulging in a friendly tussle.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1917, captured by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, we witness an extraordinary bond between man and nature in the midst of the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War. The photograph depicts an officer in the Balkan front, his uniform adorned with the insignia of his rank, casually engaging in a playful tussle with a magnificent golden eagle. The golden eagle, a symbol of power and majesty, is not the typical companion one would expect to find on the battlefield. Yet, this eagle is no ordinary bird. Having been taken in as a mere fledgling, this golden eagle was raised in captivity and has grown into a magnificent creature, a testament to the care and attention bestowed upon it by its human companion. Despite the eagle's impressive size and predatory nature, it has become tame enough to allow strangers to handle it. The eagle's daily routine includes long flights, but it always returns to its trusted master, as seen in this heartwarming moment. The image of this golden eagle and its officer offers a rare glimpse into the human-animal connection that transcends the chaos and destruction of war. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in the most challenging of circumstances, the beauty and wonder of nature can still be found and cherished.
