Help Name A Lovesick Bald Eagle
The Orange County Zoo is holding a contest to name a wild bald eagle that has been perching outside the cage of Olivia, a resident female bald eagle. Zookeepers don’t know the gender of the visitor, but the visits have been daily, and the two birds have been screeching back and forth to each other. So, with Valentine’s Day coming up and all, they’d like to think he’s come a courtin’.
If so, their love will be in vain, because Olivia is injured and would not survive outside her enclosure, according to Marisa O’Neil, public information officer at the zoo. (Sounds like captorspeak to me. Free Olivia!) But since the wild bird is becoming something of a fixture on the premises, the zoo is taking suggestions for a name.
“Romeo” is a little too obvious, I think. And I can’t remember any of the guy’s names on “The O.C.” (Seth, maybe?) So I submitted “Travolta,” because, y’know, Olivia Newton-John and Grease.
Here’s the Stones.
Here’s Dire Straits.
Here’s Bruce.
And here’s the Eagles, one the few songs of theirs that I really like.
