Abstract

A female Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax) was released in a national park where myxomatosis had been introduced into the rabbit population. The release eventually failed because of the eagle's aggressiveness towards humans. The use of national parks and the need for conditioning rehabilitated raptors to fear humans are discussed.
