Endangered Japanese Golden Eagle Gets A Belly Rub

Many people would agree that after a long day's work, nothing would be better than to come home to a nice relaxing massage. But, because we still have things to do after work like make dinner for the family, get the kids tucked into bed, or get in a quick workout before preparing for the next day, most of us aren't quite lucky enough to get the massage or foot rub we would like…at least not every day.

You might be jealous to know then that the Japanese golden eagle in this video gets weekly, and sometimes daily massages from his trainer, Aya…but not without putting in his fair share of work.

Like the adorable dogs who couldn't be more relaxed while experiencing their first massages, this beautiful eagle loves nothing more than a good foot (or should we say talon?) massage and a belly rub at the end of the day.

Although you might think this guy is a little spoiled, he definitely earns every bit of affection and relaxation he gets, training every day at only 5 months old with ropes to build up his strength and muscles with a trainer who has more-than-earned his trust.

With the help of videos like this, Aya hopes that people gain a greater appreciation for these amazing birds, and find out what they can do to help this endangered species.
