"It starts with a female eagle named Hope and a male named Valor I. The two
settled down to neat together, however Valor I wasn’t a great dad. He did show
up to incubate the eggs and basically never came around.
In comes another male, Valor II. He immediately did what a good eagle dad is
supposed to, incubate, maintain the best, all that. This lead to him becoming
Hope’s new mate.
Here’s where it gets interesting, Valor I didn’t seem to mind and actually
stuck around! Eventually Hope started mating with both of them, and Valor I
even learned to be a good dad!

Unfortunately in 2017 Hope was killed by intruding eagles, but! The two male’s
actually stuck together and successfully raised their chicks!
Soon enough a new female named Starr came along and joined the two, and now she
mates with both males every season!
This arrangement allows for the eagles to have a much more successful rate of
raising chicks and fighting off other predators!
This particular story isn’t the only one! Bald eagles have been seen in
multiple arrangements including two females and one male!"
