About "African Fish Eagle" Alvera loved fish eagles. They epitomised her idea of freedom and grace. Her husband fed the birds in their garden in Port Alfred every day and they were often thrilled to feed two fish eagles. These birds would sit in the paw-paw tree in their garden and call to Alvera and John to come out and feed them. Even though they kept their distance, it did feel to Alvera and John as if they had a special bond with these two birds. |
