    This time the Toronto Star gets the quotes right - "He's a fierce protector of his territory but he can't kill," she said.  "He wouldn't rip someone's arm off." - NOT "he's a meat-eater who can rip your arm off." - as reported in the story just a day before.  Can you imagine how much Bernice would have freaked reading that one of her birds was lose and likely to be ripping peoples arms off!!!!
I can see it now, streets full of brave man and their guns to stop the flying monster from Mexico from attacking the children & woman folk?  Oh just having too much fun with this.  Sorry the eagle didn't turn up thou.

Sanctuary owner desperate over stolen eagle

The eagle has not landed.

At least not at the Mississauga sanctuary where owner Bernice Inman says Cary the Mexican eagle was stolen last Wednesday.

"I'm worried in terms of time. If he isn't fed, he'll start to weaken," Inman said.

Cary, a rare Caracara eagle indigenous to Mexico and South America, made his home at the Winding Lane Wildlife Sanctuary in Mississauga.

Inman says someone picked the lock and stole the eagle from his cage.

There were signs that someone had been staking out the area, based on footprints, a cigarette package and cut bushes, she said.

Peel Region police interviewed Inman yesterday.

Part of her day was also spent searching the Port Credit area of Mississauga after someone reported seeing a bird matching Cary's description with a chain around its neck.

Inman said another person reported seeing the bird perched atop a parking meter in the area.

The missing eagle's tail is black with tan stripes, and its lower body is black.

It has a whitish breast and throat and a bright yellow mark from the back of its bill up its face. Its bill is blue.

"It's a beautiful bird," Inman said, adding that it looks more like a parrot.

Inman said the bird uses its powerful bill to guard its territory but the rumors of Cary possibly killing someone while loose are a gross distortion.

"He's a fierce protector of his territory but he can't kill," she said.

"He wouldn't rip someone's arm off."

The meat eater eats snakes, mice and rats, and will even make a meal of roadkill when Inman can find it.

It stands about two feet tall and has a wingspan of about four feet.
