An Eagle Named Freedom; My True Story of a Remarkable Friendship, begins when a malnourished eaglet with two broken wings was brought to the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center in Washington State. It was hoped, if she could survive, that she would be a part of the raptor education program. Jeff, a volunteer, became her devoted caretaker and formed a special bond with her. Though Freedom would never fly, she had Jeff as her wings.
In 2000, Guidry was diagnosed with cancer. During the grueling months of chemotherapy, it was the time spent with Freedom that gave him comfort and the will to fight. it is told in the tradition of Pepperberg’s Alex & Me; about a special bond between human and animal. A couple of videos of Freedom and Jeff are available on Youtube.
