William Branham stated that he saw a mother eagle put her wings out and that her babies hopped onto her wing and she flew with them down to the grass in the valley below and then went back up to a mountain top to watch them. Then as a storm approached, she flew back down into the valley and took her eaglets back onto her wings and flew them to a place of safety. | William Branham stated that he saw a mother eagle put her wings out and that her babies hopped onto her wing and she flew with them down to the grass in the valley below and then went back up to a mountain top to watch them.

There are no reports in ornithological journals or from the study of eagles by scientists that would indicate that eagles carry their young on their wings. | There are no reports in ornithological journals or from the study of eagles by scientists that would indicate that eagles carry their young on their wings. We actually contacted three well known scientists who study raptors (birds of prey such as eagles) and they indicated that the person telling the story was clearly making it up (we did not mention where we got this report) and one of the scientists got quite angry that someone would make up such an obviously false story. | ||

Based on aerodynamic principles, an eagle would not be able to take off with a "whole wing full of eagles" as William Branham contended. They would disrupt the ability to create lift, particularly if the eagle could not flap her wings (she obviously couldn't with a bunch of baby eagles on her wings). | Based on aerodynamic principles, an eagle would not be able to take off with a "whole wing full of eagles" as William Branham contended.

We have confirmed this information with three different ornithologits (scientists who study birds) who specialize in the study of raptors and other birds of prey. | |||
As a result of the evidence, we are forced to conclude that William Branham was not telling the truth. He did not see what he claimed to have witnessed. The bigger questions is: What else did William Branham lie about? | As a result of the evidence, we are forced to conclude that William Branham was not telling the truth.

'' | ''Recently I was watching. I love birds. I was watching some eagles here not long ago when I was on a fishing trip, an old mother eagle, setting way on top of a mountain. And she threw her wings out, and the little eagles caught a hold of her wings, and she went down into the valley. It was the first time they’d ever been out of that old nest. | ||
''...Then I seen her take her little ones, and they caught a hold of her wings, and she went down the mountain into the valley, throwed out her big wings and the little eagles let loose. They begin to run around, their little feet touched for the first time upon soft ground, upon the grass. They eat green grass. “He leads me beside still water.” Oh, my, how glorious and wonderful. | ''...Then I seen her take her little ones, and they caught a hold of her wings, and she went down the mountain into the valley, throwed out her big wings and the little eagles let loose.

''My, first thing you know, I seen this old eagle lift her head and sniff the air a few times. There was a northerner coming, and it comes quick. And before hardly a minute or two, the lightning was flashing, a black cloud was coming. She let out a scream and come off that rock; right down into that field she went, soared like a bullet, throwed them big wings out like that and begin to go screaming, chirping, and going on. '''Every one of those little eagles come just as fast as they could go, reached over and took a hold of feather with their mouth, caught on like that, caught their little paws in her wings. And she just lifted up that whole wing full of eagles''', away she went in that storm meeting her right in the face. She pressed right on in and went into the hole in the rock.<ref>William Branham, 54-0811 - Show Us The Father, para. 22-25</ref> | ''My, first thing you know, I seen this old eagle lift her head and sniff the air a few times.

''Now, some of them, them eagles stretch '''fourteen feet''', across the wing, wing spread. '''They could pick up a calf and pack it away'''.<ref>William Branham, 58-0500 - The Eagle Stirring Her Nest, para. 37</ref> | |||
'' Now, mother eagle says, “Get ready, children, I’m going to give you you’re solo flight this morning.” So she bats her big wings up, and each one of these little eagles climbs upon them big wings.<ref>William Branham, 60-0804 - As The Eagle Stirreth Up Her Nest, para. 57</ref> | |||
