Murphy, the bald eagle who delighted the world by trying to hatch a rock before becoming an orphaned bird’s foster dad, died this month at 33.

The beloved bald eagle was found dead in his enclosure at the World Bird Sanctuary in Missouri after severe weather pounded the region on March 14, sanctuary officials said.
