"Spirit will celebrate her 25th birthday with one more pre-game flight around Jordan-Hare Stadium this fall.
The median life expectancy for bald eagles in captivity is 16.5 years. At nearly 25 years of age, raptor center staff and veterinarians decided that it would be best for Spirit to put her high-flying days behind her."
"Spirit was brought to Auburn in the late 90s after being discovered in Florida with an injured wing and beak. She was treated, but due to her permanent beak damage, she found to be non-releasable. Spirit made her first Jordan-Hare Stadium flight on September 28, 2002."
